Stop arguing and start communicating about politics.
Unite and Concur tells you how.


"This is the book that John McCain should be reading."
~ David Riklan, SelfGrowth.com

It’s also the book Hillary Clinton, Barack O’Bama, President Bush, President Clinton and everyone involved in politics should be reading, but I didn't write this eBook for them. I wrote Unite and Concur for you. (And for myself, of course.)

It’s up to us to end the Divide and Conquer approach to political debate and to return reasonable dialogue to our nation.

          It’s the ones you don’t see coming that get you.

"Get real," you say? I am real. It's despair and anguish that are unrealistic strategies.

Think I’m dreaming to imagine the possibility of reasonable political dialogue? You may be thinking:

      Yeah, but #1…the other side is crazy, evil or both
      Yeah, but #2…who do you believe?
      Yeah, but #3…it wont change anything anyway
      Yeah, but #4…it’s not MY problem
      Yeah, but #5…it’s a mud fest

If you catch yourself thinking any of the above, prepare for your thinking to turn around. Unite and Concur will turn your “yeah, buts” into “yes, ands” by giving you the tools you need to turn dysfunctional political dialogue into potent and productive dialogue that this democracy requires.

When people don’t have the words, they often say nothing. When people don’t have the tools, they do often nothing.

"If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right."
~ Henry Ford

How many people’s political views have your words changed?

Insanity is doing the same thing over again, expecting a different result. The insane way we discuss politics isn’t working. How many people have you persuaded by attacking their views? There are people who benefit from the division among us. Chances are you’re not one of them.

Houses divided against themselves DO fall. If we can’t bridge the great political divide in our personal political conversations – if we can’t have civil political discussions with people we care about – if neighbors, family members and coworkers censor themselves out of fear – we become the pawns of those who would divide us.

Wouldn’t you like to be proud of the country you pass on to your descendents? Are you like the vast majority of citizens (Republicans and Democrats alike) who have lost their trust in government and corporations, but feel powerless to influence anything? The simple fact is, the people have the power if they only realize it, organize it and focus it. There are millions of people who want a country they can pass on to their descendents with pride. It starts with dialogue. That’s why I wrote Unite and Concur – to give you the tools you need to become a political:

bullet Truth Sleuth
bullet Deception Detective
bullet Falacy Finder
bullet Fact Fanatic
bullet Accuracy Advocate
bulletConcerned Citizen, and
bulletVoice of Reason

Unite & Concur is a strategic communications principle that allows you to uncover the logical fallacies of debate, see through propaganda techniques, and bypass manipulation behaviors.

"Divide and conquer doesn't stand a chance when people become determined to Unite and Concur." ~ Meryl Runion, CSPDon’t react, respond. Of all the problems our country faces, the reactive nature of our political dialog is the most fundamental. That is worth repeating. Of all the problems our country faces, the reactive nature of our political dialog is the most fundamental. Why? Because if we can’t talk to each other, we can’t solve our problems; if instead of talking, we're agreeing to disagree in politics, or worse, we're driving in the dark. A house divided does fall. "Yeah," you might say, "but we’re not the ones poisoning the political dialogue. You should be talking to those idiots in Washington!"

I’m talking to you, because you have the power. Those “idiots” in Washington do what they do because it works. They may start the ball rolling, but it’s the people who listen who keep that ball going.

It may well be that all politics really are local, and when you and I use diplomacy in our own interpersonal political discussions, the national dialog will take care of itself.

We’ll solve our problems when you and I communicate civilly
across the Great Political Divide.

Start now. Let’s get a better ball rolling.
