Transpartisan Alliance

This is the first entity I've been involved with that began with non-polarized, mixed group dialogue rather than a fixed position or set of values. Get everyone in the room, then find solutions. Don't lock anyone out of the room, don't coerce people into agreement or silence independent thought. Just get people together so there's a WE, and then act as we the people. Without integrating all sides of the political and religious spectrum, there's no real WE, just EW. Yuck, polarization!

They're using facilitation models used to change the culture of major corporations. Republicans can appreciate the cost savings and profit increases those methods have created. Democrats can appreciate the hippie-love-fest feeling you get when people are actually being nice to each other without regard to beliefs. Best of both worlds.
