Reuniting America: A Toolkit for Changing the Political Game
Joseph McCormick, Steve BhaermanATTENTION: Bridge Builders and Citizen Leaders. Turned off by politics as usual? Get ready to be turned on by politics as unusual!
REUNITING AMERICA: A Toolkit for Changing the Political Game is a manifesto for a “transpartisan up-wising,” a movement-of-movements. It is the story of the eight year journey of a serious citizen on a quest to discern the principles and practices for transforming the political game from win/lose to win/win. It weaves bold truth telling about power, control and the game of politics with the enlightened humor of a jester willing to point out “the Emperor has no clothes.” As old top-down ways of governing prove inadequate in the face of increasing complexity, it is intended to direct attention to the early signs of a new, cooperative form of political behavior emerging from the bottom-up and inside out.
