How a Purely Democratic Constitution Can Guarantee Political Power for the Poor

Speaker: Robert Gulack

All democratic constitutions so far have apportioned representation based upon geographical location or party membership -- but there is a better alternative.

Robert Gulack chairs the Departments of English, Philosophy, and Religious Studies at SUNY Rockland, where he has taught courses on creative writing and on the political significance of literature. He holds an MFA in Playwriting from the Yale School of Drama and a JD from the Yale Law School, where he served as Essays Editor of the THE YALE LAW JOURNAL. He has won national awards for his work in playwriting, magazine publishing, and political reform. Two of his plays were recently presented in New York City in productions featuring incidental music by Tony-winner Larry Hochman. His work as a social activist over the last decade has focused on eliminating 9/11 debris, ending pay-to-play corruption, and guaranteeing effective self-government in planned communities. He has previously presented platform addresses at the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County on the illusion of free will, the nature of right and wrong, and our evolving concepts of space-time.
