I wish I had written this letter.
I wish I was important enough to have been asked to sign it.
But given that neither of those things happened, my wish is that you read it and my hope is that it resonates.
Please take note of the list of signatories — it is an impressive collection of folks.
This letter advocated for everything I hope this blog becomes — a safe haven for those tired of the ideologically obsessed and those practicing “gotcha” politics.
A place where you’ll never read about how somebody “destroyed” someone else or their position.
A place where agreeing disagreeably isn’t just a slogan but a way of life.
A place where compromise is valued, where people change their mind, where the complex is embraced.
Welcome to the fanatical middle, my friends. Let’s do some good … together.
