Suggests trying the Forward Party

To the editor:

When did we start believing that the two major political parties– vehicles designed to hoard power — get to dictate our values? Weren’t values supposed to be determined by our local communities, through culture, civics, and spiritual life?

Not surprisingly, the political parties are doing an awful job. They’re using increasingly divisive rhetoric to bogeyman the other, all the while becoming more extreme and divisive. They’re indoctrinating our friends, families, and neighbors, making conversation nearly impossible.

I recently associated with the Forward Party, with the intention of breaking this loop. The two major parties dictate how you should feel and mandate top-down solutions. The Forward Party listens to what you say needs changing and helps you find bottom-up, local solutions. All the while, it helps cultivate our civic responsibility, and it develops leaders on the ground.

I encourage all looking to break the vicious cycle of rhetoric destroying our communities to join the Forward Party. We’re looking for members right here in Columbiana County. To join, go to ForwardParty.com/Ohio, and RSVP for an upcoming event.

Not left. Not right. Forward!
