While we are non-partisan, we are not value-neutral. We have a point of view.
No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed.
And there’s no reason to suggest that we can’t get through this one either.
People aren't looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect, that deep in our gut, we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away.
