Dear everybody --
Happy spring equinox from Santa Barbara --
Just want to float a little idea past you....
There's a lot of new energy starting to emerge, on these themes of "transpartisan politics". I'm excited about it, I'm doing a lot with it.
And one idea that seems to be emerging -- has to do with this concept of "shared purpose" -- or, in other words, a goal or objective or "intent" that is shared among people or groups.
This is really the essence of a political coalition -- why groups come together and stick together -- because they share the same "mission", or objective -- or share at least some of the same mission.
So -- just as a way to introduce this thought -- just float your beautiful mind past this set of purposes....
This is a list taken from just a few groups I am starting to work with.
How many of these purposes would you accept yourself?
Would you join or support a group that advocated or represents this purpose?
I think this is going to be the key -- to building an amazing coalition -- that brings everybody together, from every angle.
Let this soak in a little bit. It's very powerful...
happy day,
- bruce
