Welcome to The Political Podium! After several months of development and testing it is our hope to be populating the website with authors in the very near future – a few weeks, at most. The Political Podium – or, The Podium, for short – is designed to be a meeting place for college students to exposit, debate, rebuttal and discuss American politics. It is our hope to foster a community of passionate authors who put forth well-written, thoughtful and insightful pieces on topics ranging from court cases, elections, laws, policy, politicians, proposed bills and war to political philosophy, practice, theory and history.

The Podium is, in and of itself, a non-partisan entity. We encourage Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, libertarians and progressives alike to express their thoughts, opinions and policies. While we accept individuals from across the political spectrum, we seek to encourage intelligent debate – unjustifiable libel or rhetoric will be discouraged.

Please contact us if you are interested in becoming an author.
