American Political Point and Counterpoint

Anybody’s who’s been checking out the Republican and Democratic national conventions have been getting a good look at Americans at their politically passionate best.

“Founded in 1982, Search for Common Ground works to transform the way the…

I am honored to be here tonight to support Barack Obama. And to warm up the
