- Stick to the Subject is an assembly of freethinkers who are interested in public policy, who want their views to matter, and who don't want to be bound by ideology.
- It doesn't proselytize from a set of institutional beliefs put together by the political class. It recruits good people and finds out what their concerns and ideas are.
- Stick reverses the flow of ideas from take-it-or-leave-it from the top to here's-what-we-would-like-you-to-do coming up from the grassroots.
- This association is critical to stand as a redoubt against the encroachment of technology on our essential social bonds.
- What to do?
- Get neighborly.

- It's for people who want to build a better way for ordinary people to impact public policy than standing at the podium of a town hall for three minutes or sending an email to be read by an office intern.
