The Transpartisan Movement: The Courage to Cooperate

As we watch the intense partisan wrangling going on in Washington DC over the stimulus bill, while hundreds of thousands of Americans are losing their jobs, their homes and their retirement funds, it is gratifying to learn that the Transpartisan Alliance is growing. Dedicated to bringing Americans from many different political perspectives together and helping them learn to talk and connect with each other, this is a groundbreaking movement that everyone who cares about peace should know about.

We, at Peace By Design, are heartened that Transpartisan Alliance exists and we support its growth.  The movement will sponsor an American Citizens’ Summit next week in Denver Colorado from February 11^th to February 15^th at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel.  For more information please visit the website of the Alliance at www.transpartisan.net.

To read more about the background and history of the movement check out the following:

—A recent blog by the founder of the movement, Joseph McCormick  on the www.beyondconventional wisdomblog.com (titled A Democratic Republic: Beyond Partisanship).

—An article by Dan Shaw titled Hot on the Trail of Democracy in American on his web site.

We will feature more from this group in future blogs on Peace By Design.
