They Write Letters

Unity 08 writes to me:

Dear Duncan,

You signed up to be a Unity 08 Delegate for a reason — to fix our broken political system. But did you ever think fixing it would take just ten minutes?

Today we're sending you the first of Unity08's "10-Minute Tuesday" actions: Easy, fun, yet meaningful ways to build towards a bipartisan ticket in 2008, ten minutes at a time.

Here's your first assignment — take a few minutes to reach across the aisle and have "The Talk."

What I mean is this: Right now, we have two parties that barely speak to each other unless it's to attack the other side. This means real issues get ignored and our country gets nowhere.

Well, today I urge you to take the first step to change all that. Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican or an Independent, do one thing today: reach out. Talk to one person. Or talk to a whole group. Talk to them about the importance of ending the bickering and paralysis in Washington and why the bipartisan approach of Unity08 can help fix our broken political system.

AND THEN... Invite them to become a Unity08 Delegate.

Here are 3 ways to have "the talk." If you have...

ONE MINUTE... Send an email!
Send an email to one person "across the aisle" from you inviting them to join you as a Delegate. We'll provide you with a sample email and you can feel free to make it your own.
ONE HOUR... Have a conversation.
Get a few short and easy talking points to help you have a Unity08 conversation with your co-worker, neighbor, friend, or relative.
ONE EVENING... Host a dinner party.
We'll pull out all the stops to help — conversation starters, menus, place cards and more.


Thank you for signing on as a Delegate and for working for a better political system.

Sincerely,


Founders’ Council, Unity08

P.S. If you know someone who might want to be a Unity08 Delegate, invite them to take our Delegate quiz!
