Government is supposed to be about how we do things together, and we can do that much more together if we use technology smartly right now.

We say that word [bureaucracy] with such contempt. But it's that contempt that keeps this thing that we own and we pay for as something that's working against us.

Now, a lot of people have given up on government. And if youre one of those people, I would ask that you reconsider, because things are changing. Politics is not changing; government is changing.

Our ability to do great things with data will make a real difference in every aspect of our lives.

If you dont tolerate any risk, you can never innovate.

We have to make bureaucracy sexy.

When one neighbor helps another, we strengthen our communities.
