Partnership Politics

Partnership politics takes us outside the box of the conventional political conversation. Instead of arguing about religious versus secular, right versus left, Eastern versus Western, capitalist versus socialist, and so forth, we focus on the long-term policies foundational for the more peaceful, equitable, and environmentally sustainable world we all want and need.

Our nation and our world are hungry for new ways of thinking. As Einstein said, we can't solve problems with the same thinking that created them. And as Margaret Mead said, never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world; it's the only thing that ever did.

None of us can do everything. But all of us can do something. The first step is changing the political conversation.

Here are links to some resources to get started. Please use them to form your own partnership politics group. Please send them (or excerpts from them) to government officials and political candidates. Please also send them to your friends and colleagues and ask them to do the same.
