The Common Sense Movement

Are you concerned about the future of our country?
Do you want to do something about our political, social, economic, and moral crisis?
Do you feel alone, isolated, and powerless?
If your answer is YES to any of these questions, join the Common Sense Movement.

We believe that

• common sense is the key to solving many complex problems
• problems should be attacked at their core and not at the surface
• the most important fundamental principle is individual responsibility
• no society can survive without a set of generally accepted basic values and standards
• society's various problems are mutually interconnected with each other
• our educational, governmental, and political systems need fundamental changes
• citizens must learn to listen to each other, reach common ground, and express themselves through collective action
• ideas are more important than partisan ideologies

The Movement's philosophy is discussed in Miklos N. Szilagyi's book How To Save Our Country.

The Common Sense Movement is run by The Tucson Institute.

The Common Sense Movement sponsors the following activities:

• The New Common Sense, a gutsy newsletter for better citizenship
• public lectures on current national and international issues
• nationally available, custom-designed seminars that emphasize dialogue
• the Common Sense Forum, a regular biweekly discussion group in the Tucson area
• global discussions through the Internet  (see, for example, our writings on Yugoslavia)
