Living Room Conversations: Open your ears. Open your mind. Open your home.
Just as a wildfire can start with a single spark, a shift in culture can start with a single conversation. A living room is the match, the conversation is the spark, and the people will become the wildfire that forever change the landscape we call democracy. An open-source project that uncovers common ground through conversations among individuals with differing viewpoints; join us at www.LivingRoomConversations.org.

What Mark and Amanda did is what more of us need to do, because the way forward is mutual understanding across the political divide.

These types of conversations are the hope for our nation's future. We've got to get beyond talking to ourselves and start talking to each other with mutual respect. This is an excellent idea.

This idea is fantastic. What an innovative yet simple way to accomplish momentum between all sides. I'm hooked!

This is EXACTLY the kind of dialogue I've been imagining - bridging the gaps between differing points of view. Very excited about getting involved.

I am oh so inspired by this video and the concept. I have spent a lot of years building bridges across America, especially between blacks and whites and urban areas with suburban areas. I have been a part of miracles that happen simply by the coming together of people who seemingly are so different. I am all in, committed to this work. I was asked last week to host a radio show just about this same thing, it will be called One America and will air starting in September, I am very open and inviting collaboration. Thank you so much

Bravo! If I were a judge, you'd be on my short list. You fit the criteria as well as I do - maybe better! Look at my submission. "Elections Clarified" https://vimeo.com/64616892 or

Following my previous comment: Wow! I'm impressed. I'd also like you to see another of my visionary videos. This isn't an entry in Looking At Democracy. I've been pursuing it for over 15 years and still haven't managed to implement it. Watch the video and read the blog www.ComeTogetherRockford.com
