James Madison Toastmasters was founded with the purpose of teaching conservatives how to speak.

We are largely Republican, but conservatism is our true core. Our meetup …

Divided though we are as a country, we're generally in agreement about the state of our union—it's not good. We also generally agree on a big part of why that is: our system is corrupt. By and large, our politicians are subservient not to the people, but to the corporations, unions, and wealthy donors who bankroll their campaigns. Our legislation reflects not what's in the best interest of average Americans, but rather the best interests of Exxon Mobil or Goldman Sachs. A government "of the peop …
