Why Bipartisanship Works for America"Bipartisanship may not appeal to the most extreme voices of each party, but history teaches us that it is the only real path for meaningful change in this country. Fierce debate is the foundation of our country, but so is finding common ground. As citizens of this great democracy, each one of us has a responsibility to get involved and hold public officials accountable. Across the Aisle is a blueprint that allows all of us to do just that."—Margaret Spellings, President and CEO of The Bipartisan Policy Center and former U.S. Secretary of Education "In Across the Aisle, Jill Long Thompson and her distinguished fellow authors remind us of what I learned firsthand as a Senator: bipartisanship is more than a slogan. It's the driving force behind our democracy, and it's the only way we can make progress as a nation. Our greatest achievements have come when Republicans and Democrats have worked together. The same will be true in the years ahead."—Roy Blunt, Former U.S. Senator "This book of essays, assembled by my former colleague, contains invaluable information for present and future public servants at all levels of government to understand the essential role of bipartisanship in solving difficult problems."—Richard Gephardt, Former U.S. House Majority Leader "The greatest achievements of our nation have been built on robust bipartisan collaboration. No party has a monopoly on good ideas. Across the Aisle is a testament to the benefits and future promise of reaching across the aisle to solve America's most pressing challenges."—William Frist M.D., Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader
