All members of congress begin sessions with this pledge:
1.I will see my opponent as a real human being.
2.I will believe they have the best of intentions, even though their perspective is very different from my own.
3.I will understand that compromise is a courageous act and not one that destroys my integrity.
Why is this important?
This pledge written by Jason Shulman, Founder, A Society of Souls, and published in the Huff Post on 1/14/2013 deals with the fundamental need for our political representatives to embrace a new humanistic and heartfelt vision, founded on compromise, in order to heal our nation. United we stand, divided we fall!!
