Make America A Better Place, George Magazine asks 250 Americans how to Improve our Country

For evidence of our victories paving the way into popular culture, you need to look only as far as your local bookstore. General Counsel and IJ President Chip Mellor was tapped by the editors of George magazine for insight on how to make America better.

” Meet your neighbors. By taking time to get to know the folks next door, we come to view them (and by extension others) as individuals-not as members of a group defined by race, age, sex or religion. We develop a stake in the community we can most affect directly and that most directly affects us. We come to respect and appreciate property rights and boundaries that promote harmony. And we gain healthy perspective on the barrage of daily headlines that portray the world’s problems as insoluble.”

-William H. Mellor
