Letter to your members of Congress

Dear Member of Congress,

Please sponsor a bill to begin a project: Unify America to End Racism
This first part costs very little.

The bill's purpose is to put together a 5-person team to:

Identify experts and put together/identify groups, mailing lists, and contact information
List the actual problems,
Report on the measures for them: What are available? What improvements do they need? How can they be gotten reliably and frequently (at least quarterly)? What new measures are needed? Who can best deliver them? How much will it cost? When can a first set arrive?
Report on solutions- what solutions exist and their estimated costs, what solutions are proposed and estimated costs and timelines of pilot projects, what problems are missing solutions, needing RFPs and research funding
Design a dashboard of problems and measurements so we can see what progress has been made and what progress we're making.

The result of this shall be, in 6 months:

A report on the current state of racism problems, measurements and solutions.
The design of a public dashboard on whitehouse.gov where people will be able to see the state of racism in America over time.
A plan to complete the dashboard and measurements.
A plan to end racism.

Americans are correct to argue over whether America is racist or not. Racism is often vague and subjective. Without clear, measurable definitions, most of the arguments are at cross purposes and hence valid. Clear, measurable definitions will be a great start toward unity. Measurements being at least quarterly would go a long way to unite us in agreeing on the state of American racism.

Real conservatives object to funding poorly defined, endless, expensive, possibly ineffective projects. Let's move toward unity by doing the research, defining the problems and goals, and measuring both the problem and the effectiveness of solutions.

Clear definitions, measurements and a clear plan can unite us in ending racism.
