Statement

"
Our two major political parties are increasingly driven by extreme ideology and the result is gridlock. Our citizens are frustrated at our elected officials’ inability to address complex problems that affect their everyday lives. We need a party “for the rest of us” – one that is responsible, open and inclusive, does not inflict ideological litmus tests on its candidates and elected officials, and one that will demonstrate that compromise is not a dirty word but a principled way to get things done.
