Why should our government have less accountability than each family? Families do well when they spend wisely while taking care of each other.
It is clarity of thought. It is balance of heart and mind. It is based on the premise that we are one people, as opposed to being separate.
Rick is a modern-day philosopher who understands how altruistic ideas can be arranged to appeal to everyone.
As a political conservative, I am disheartened by the divisive rhetoric tearing at our great nation. This movement certainly presents a possibility to reverse the destructive course we are on.
This movement is the first time I’ve felt hope that Americans might stop talking past each other, embrace the heart of where we agree, and do something that makes sense.
The center used to be a muddy place until the idea of this movement. The center should pull the left and right wings with it, like the head on your shoulders and the heart in your chest pull your arms and legs.
I am wary of the partisanship that is tearing this country apart at its seams. I need an oasis of just being able to talk to my fellow Americans of all opinions about how we can take our country forward without leaving people behind.
As a registered Independent, I like this movement because it raises political discourse up from current destructive radical polarization to constructive intelligent debate.
I think most Americans are in the middle. This seems to address the middle instead of the far rights and lefts.
We need this, very badly. I can’t take too much more extremism on either side. This gives me hope.
I left the Republican party for the same reason I left the Democratic party: because they left me. This is a good start at reform.
The model is a terrific framework to begin a different conversation about how our country can unite and prioritize what matters.
No one group owns the word “patriotic.” Anyone that cares about our country’s past, present and future gets to claim this word.
We need some way to overcome the ideological split that cripples our government and divides our citizens. This movement is worth exploring to see if it can truly unite us without some external enemy to fight against.
We need to have a party that is moderate and does what is best for our country, not just themselves.
My gut response can be described in one word: RESPONSIBILITY. Transparency is the precursor and guarantor of responsibility.
With everyone’s cooperation, it can stop the madness between the Democrats and the Republicans that is tearing our nation apart.
This is THE way to demonstrate for us and our future generations what right looks like!
This movement is an inspiring political platform that shows great promise. For the longest time, We the People have needed a way to come together, for the common good of all, within a framework where all political views are honored and respected.
Although I’m a lifelong Democrat, indoctrinated long ago riding my daddy’s shoulders at a Labor Day parade in 1959, what saddens me now is the rabid “us vs. them” viciousness.
Finally! Someone came up with an inclusive way to look at the realities of politics and society. In Revolutionary times, Ben Franklin said, “We must all hang together or most assuredly we will all hang separately.”
An idea whose time has come. I’m fascinated at how you put together that bell curve and tied everything together so powerfully. It is a concept that, if we can get enough people to understand and embrace, can truly save this country.
With this movement there would be no more of that polarizing politics that we have all come to hate. It has something for everyone.
This movement is a sincere and thoughtful new approach to solving our biggest political ills. I’d encourage anyone to set aside blind ideological loyalty and cynicism for a moment and consider this call to unity.
This is the idea that I’ve been hoping for. If we continue to play the “my side is better than your side” game, we are finished as a country. This movement gives us a way to work together without compromising ideals.
There actually is a simple solution to a solid political view. Heart, mind, and commerce rolled into one small-government plan. Very inspiring!
It does a great job of explaining why we are struggling and fighting ourselves when deep down each of us just wants fairness in our society.
It’s time to find a way to listen to each other and celebrate our patriotism, no matter what our political views are. I am a proud American first and foremost. This movement supports that!
