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.
“The transpartisan movement has begun to move America beyond the stale partisan rhetoric and fixed bayonets of past arguments…and look anew at old challenges that unite Americans more than they divide us.” – Grover Norquist, conservative activist, President, Americans for Tax Reform
“The transpartisan movement is beginning to foster so much communication across the partisan boundaries that the boundaries themselves are beginning to be much more porous.” – Al Gore, Former Vice President
Topics covered include…
From Red vs. Blue to “We the Purple”, Whole Brain Politics, Citizen Education and Recovery, Speaking Truth About Power, Transpartisan Coalitions, Boycott/Buycott Strategies, Threshold Activism, Sunshine Councils, Economic Localization and more.
You’ll read about examples of new “conservatarian-progreensive” coalitions — the roots of the cooperation between Tea Party and Occupy — that are uniting people around the values of freedom and localism. When we tune out of the media hype-notism, you see how We the People are beginning to work together and cooperate in responding to the mounting crisis-of-crises.
Inspiring, practical principles of political health and empowerment, including:
- The council of twelve
- The art of powerful questions
- The power of the neutral convener
- How to move beyond majority/minority
- Why make our private policy conversations public (open source)
- The attraction of throwing a better party
- The importance of following the money
- How to let officials come to the people
- How to apply “positive subversion”
- Strategies of non-participation, non-cooperation
- Why to trust in the “wisdom of sinking”
- And 16 more…

The only real way to transform our old now corrupt political system, is described in our Constitution Article 5. It’s a new Constitutional Convention called for by 2/3rds of our STATES. And 27 have already done so, with 7 more creating the 34 needed to have it happen. Check out online the “Friends of Article V”…

Personally, I’d like to see a greater emphasis on the Bill of Rights which got seriously trashed under George W. Bush. And we’re still not back to the rights we enjoyed before he came along.

Conrad I agree…one of the underlying intentions of this book is for We the People to build bridges with each other to re-constitute our country in alignment with founding principles…See Section II where I write about the Constitution Dialogue.

This is certainly a time for people to share ideas, particularly good ones. I have passed this along. Good luck with this effort.

Joe and Steve,
Can’t wait for the ebook. The Conch Republic is waking up to both the environmental and political insanity that we have allowed to manifest. Time to rebalance our material and Spiritual lives. I will definitely send the Reuniting link to my list.

My wife’s cynicism is iron-clad. To her, the “transpartisan upwising” sounds like a scam. I am somewhat sympathetic to her attitude. We get taken for a ride, after ride, after ride.

No scam Russ…dig deeper into the roots/background of Reuniting America and the transpartisan work done so far. Many inspiring shoots beginning to sprout from seeds planted over the past eight years.

This book is not a scam. It’s in a category by itself. I stayed up half the night reading it….very useful and inspiring. It helped me change my approach to dialogue with the opposite party.

I hope this can be purchased in paperback for those of us who are technically disadvantaged! This is what the world has been waiting for.
