MoveOn.org and Tea Parties working together??

Is it realistic to think that two groups such as MoveOn.org and Freedom Works, the lead catalyst and organizer of the Tea Party/9-12 movement could possibly find common ground? Given the institutional and financial pressures inherent in the two-party system it will be very difficult for these groups to actually work togther publicly, but recently two of their leaders met on a “transpartisan panel” at the Engaging the Other Conference. Their was a remarkably civil dialogue and all present were inspired that if the unthinkable cooperation were possible, the red-blue game may begin to shift in dramatic ways. Here’s a 7 min. video that gives a flavor of the very hopeful conversations…

Thank you Joseph and Peter W. (and many others) for continuing to do this fine work. Having Max Pappas and Joan Blades come together, actually and figuratively, is an important step for the reeducation which must take place in so many people. That is the pathway so we finally experience real Transpartisan mindset shift!
Bravo!
