Compromise in Congress: Purple Compromise

Purple is a symbolic mix of Red and Blue. All of us see our Congress in gridlock. We, the undersigned, demand compromise to be restored in Congress, a special kind of compromise, where you consider your opponent’s agenda as being nearly as important as your own, where you bend to accommodate as much as you can, where you offer and accept workarounds that protect the imperatives of your opponents, and they yours, and wherein you never, ever, refuse to participate. We call this “Purple Compromise”, as a symbolic mix of Red and Blue, to give it a vivid name and differentiate it from obstructive, destructive or fake participation. In Purple Compromise, both sides work to protect and champion the other's imperatives while sculpting legislation that works, without refusing to participate, to cover broad interests for the good of the Nation. This is the American Tradition.
