A Capitol Idea by Bill Hause is an inspiring and heartfelt reflection on one man's journey through life, service, and the ever-evolving landscape of American democracy. With warmth, and a touch of introspection, Hause invites readers to see the world through the eyes of someone who has not only witnessed history but has lived it-on the front lines of both military service and civic engagement. His story is about perseverance, personal growth, and the courage to take part in shaping the future. Hause's deeply human narrative reminds us that every citizen plays a role in the grand experiment of democracy.

At Bookwrights House, we are proud to present this moving and intellectually engaging work from a writer whose life and experiences illuminate the heart of the American spirit. Bill Hause is a multi-talented author and artist-poet, playwright, novelist, journalist, political activist, and performer-whose creativity transcends genres and generations. A proud U.S. Army veteran and a graduate of Linfield College and Portland State University, Hause has lived across the country, gathering stories, wisdom, and perspective from each place he's called home. His membership in the Dramatists Guild of America and IATSE reflects his lifelong dedication to both the written word and the performing arts.

A Capitol Idea offers readers more than memories-it delivers insight, and truth. Through compelling storytelling and heartfelt reflection, Hause captures the struggles and triumphs of civic life while celebrating the enduring strength of the individual voice. Now available through major online retailers, this remarkable book is a call to reflect, engage, and believe once again in the power of personal conviction and the enduring promise of the American dream.
