Chuck's Blog: Local Group Aims to Bring Civility to Politics

A group called Better Angels is putting on a skills workshop tonight (Tuesday 6:00pm-8:30pm) at the Guilderland Public Library.  Sounds boring right?  It is anything but.  

Better Angels is trying to unite the country by simply getting us to listen to one another.  Their goal is "depolarization"...not to change anyone's mind on any specific political issue.  They are non-partisan and work hard to make sure "Blue" and "Red" are equally represented. I can only hope it's well attended and the start of a movement.   

Here's a great link to Better Angels' principles and programs with specific tips for politicians, the media, civic and faith-based organizations and the rest of us.  

Please check it out.  -Chuck 

Kelly and I talked to two members of Better Angels. Roger Collen, a self-professed conservative and Riley Hart a progressive. Listen below.
