Our nation has never felt more divided. Our interactions with those who are different from us have become limited. It feels like every social and political issue is polarizing, our civil discourse is clouded with contempt. But our Founding Fathers knew the value of an open dialogue with all sides. We are all Americans. Our differing opinions are simply a reflection of our different experiences and personalities. Let’s end the hate and reinvigorate the art of respectful political discussion. We should never forget that what we have in common outlives elections, endures through tragedy, and rises above social unrest. --- Across The Table is a community that aims to help heal the divide. Our free web service makes it easy to schedule a one on one chat with someone who thinks differently than you.
