David A. Wylie[1] (born November 30, 1929) is an American writer, attorney, and former local politician in Boston, Massachusetts.[2]

Career

Wylie served as an officer in the

global democracy. He has contributed to Massachusetts newspapers like as the Cambridge Chronicle.[6][7]

In his book, City, Save Thyself! - Nuclear Terror and the Urban Ballot (Trueblood Publishing, 2009), Wylie calls on the citizenry to act locally to build the

global democracy needed to keep international peace. He says the nuclear threat is difficult to make personal because most people feel that they are unable to effect change individually. According to Wylie, tremendous power lies in our cities and towns; the trick is being heard. The book was a finalist in the 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Awards in the categories of Current Events and Social Change.[8]

Former US Senator Bill Bradley said of the book "Wylie offers a powerful message: If you want to fix America, begin at the local level, but think globally and in the process revive our democracy."[9]
