Recently I wrote a piece that garnered a lot of great discussion. “Dear Republican Friends: Cut. It. Out.” was well received by many folks who took the time to comment, and from both sides of the political spectrum. It was encouraging to watch the commentary; people listening to one another and trying to find common ground.
There was some dissension, mainly from Republicans who wanted to know why I didn’t write a similar piece to my Democrat friends. My answer was, and will remain, that I am not a registered Democrat. Of course there are things I wish the Democratic party would do differently. But it wasn’t my goal to start dialogue with members of the “opposing side”, so to speak.
Until today.
