Welcome to The Common Bridge

The foundation of the Common Bridge is this; that if we need to cross a river or a chasm, and the party on the right bank has built a very strong pillar and has reinforced it. The party on the left bank has done the same thing with it’s pillar. The right and left must come together to form the bridge as a whole. As it exists, we cannot span that river or that chasm unless we come together and we think about our commonality.

And so I’m encouraging everyone to reject any type of division, wherever it comes from. The political parties have made great strides in gaining expertise and attacking the other side. We’ve seen this fueled by a reporting industry that is intent on inflaming and twisting. Step away from that and have smart discussions. Listen to one another and find a Common Bridge to solutions.
