UNITING LEFT AND RIGHT WITH JEFF RUPP

Our guest on Saturday, January 7 was Jeffrey Rupp, a thinking conservative who helped me model how to constructively engage with people of differing political philosophies but a common interest in working together to establish a functioning democracy in America and thereby peace in the world.

Jeff is a recovering addict who is now a  substance abuse counselor. He has written a fascinating book about his life that will give interested listeners a perspective on how he came to form his political and personal world view: http://www.amazon.com/Hi-Name-Jeff-Alcoholic-ebook/dp/B00655M9Z8

After talking about the book and letting listeners know Jeff and I a little better, we discussed the crisis in health care costs and access from our differing perspectives. Though Jeff and I agree that we don't like to be pigeonholed, most listeners would probably label Jeff a conservative Libertarian and me a liberal Libertarian, to paraphrase Noam Chomsky.

We had a fascinating conversation between friends about what we have in common and how we can work together to establish a government of, by and for the People of the United States and together solve the crushing problems that Congress continues to worsen.
