An Invitation to All Citizens to Begin a More Civil Discourse and Denounce Demagoguery

The Issue

Our country is in turmoil: budget woes, wars, health care debates, immigration crisis, environmental disaster, and grave economic instability both here and abroad. Now is the time to join together to work for solutions and stop engaging in the ignorant and hateful rhetoric that we hear so often. It is a challenge to shift gears. There are major disagreements and different ideologies. And yes, there will be compromise required, but we MUST begin a meaningful dialogue to find the answers. And you can help!
