“It is time for a definitional reset of the G7⏤meaning what is this body ultimately about?” Michael Johns puts the question out there. This is the perfect time to start a bigger conversation on the role that the United States plays in this international intergovernmental economic organization known as the G7. Michael Johns is the National co-founder and leader of the Tea Party Movement. A former White House speechwriter and a Policy Analyst with The Heritage Foundation.
