At A Common America, we are deeply troubled by the current state of polarization in Congress. The lack of cooperation between parties has resulted in gridlock that prevents meaningful legislation from being passed. This is not just our personal sentiment; it reflects the views of most Americans who believe that party politics are obstructing progress on key issues affecting our futures. 
 
To address this issue, we propose a requirement for all US House members to co-sponsor at least one bill per session with a member of a different party. This will encourage bipartisan cooperation and contribute to breaking down the barriers currently hindering legislative progress. 
 
According to Pew Research Center, 64% of Americans say their representative should compromise more, even if it means giving up on some core beliefs. By requiring each member to co-sponsor at least one bill per session, we can ensure that every voice is heard, and every perspective considered. 
 
We believe a bipartisan approach to passing legislation will foster collaboration among our representatives and help restore faith in our democratic process. We urge your support of this petition to demand more from our elected officials. Sign today and show our elected officials we expect more bipartisanship and cooperation!
