About You Decide

You Decide is an online devil’s advocate designed to challenge your point of view on current issues. Perhaps the arguments in these activities will encourage you to reconsider your position... or maybe not. But one thing is certain. The issues Americans face are complex, our opinions are passionately held, and the devil is in the details. Think you know where you stand? You just might surprise yourself.

In the end, perhaps you will ask different — and better — questions than those presented here.
