Another View On The National Centrist Conference
First, the mission of the Centrist Coalition: “To Unite the Middle and Give Power to Their Voice.”
Alan Stewart Carl, the newly appointed Executive Director, explains why…
This nation absolutely must move back toward the center—and I’m not just talking about finding compromises. I’m talking about reviving a spirit of civility and open debate that avoids petty divisiveness and pandering while promoting competent solutions and consensus building. I’m talking about fighting against the dishonest spin and blind adherence to partisan ideology that dominate our politics and replacing them with a heightened level of integrity and a deeper commitment to independent thinking. I’m talking about creating an environment where leaders within the two parties no longer have to run to their wings for support but can instead find robust support in a newly revitalized center.

As the person who put Alan’s name forward in nomination, I would like to say that I think the Centrist Coalition is in good hands, and that Alan, though he is too self-deprecating to agree, will be a real asset to the centrist cause.
I visited the website, this sounds like an organization I could really get behind. It is time to join and do something about this partisan mess we are in. Hey, at least the discussions will be far more civil and thought provoking.
