"A house divided against itself cannot stand."
Our Constitutional democracy has survived for centuries, but we now face a great danger from our own division.
- We live in a time where we don't just disagree, but actively work to undermine each other's credibility and intentions.
- The result is a constant tug-of-war where solutions are either "all red or all blue," preventing us from making real progress.
Where Red and Blue Meet, Purple Emerges
The Purple Party is building a new "center" to keep us grounded.
Our vision is rooted in the ideals of our Founding Fathers, who believed that through debate and deliberation, "We the people" would find solutions to our toughest challenges.
This is a place where we realize that "them" is "us."
We seek first to understand, and only then to be understood.
We believe that to be stable, our solutions must balance the interests of both halves of our country.
This isn't about compromise as a dirty word; it's about creating thoughtful solutions that give legitimacy to everyone's valid concerns.
The Purple Pledge
We the people do hereby pledge:
- We will do our part in moving our great country forward in a new spirit of understanding and cooperation.
- We will listen carefully and respectfully to our fellow citizens.
- We will take the time to patiently examine the facts.
- We will seek to find common ground in our goals.
- We will debate with civility and intellectual honesty.
- We will not seek to win arguments by disparaging the character of those who disagree with us.
- We will strive to find stable solutions transcending party, rather than solutions that ignore our neighbor's interests.
- We will not forget that division is the path to destruction.
It Starts Now.
We the people can renew our American spirit with civility, humility, and hope.
If you believe it's time to end the division and start building, join us. Add your name to become a founding supporter of The Purple Party.
