Our mission is to gather and display at least a thousand answers to this question before Election Day:
'What is a political issue that you could find common ground on and why?'
I started this project out of frustration with how much of American politics focuses on division rather than constructive solutions.

+While I understand the reasons behind this, and I recognize that disagreement is essential in a democracy, I also believe that America needs to focus more on finding common ground.
I'm not willing to wait around for that to happen, so from now until Election Day I will be updating this page every day with your answers.
