LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

We must unite this nation again

If you are wondering what you can do about the incivility in our nation’s political discourse, I suggest reading Mark Gerzon’s insightful book “The Reunited States of America: How We Can Bridge the Partisan Divide.”

According to Gerzon, here are actions that each of us can take: 1) put country before party; 2) question whether it’s patriotic to turn against our fellow citizens because they don’t share our views; 3) seek sources of information that stretch, rather than confine us; and 4) talk to each other with the goal of finding answers that are better than either of us started with.

On Nov. 3, let’s vote for politicians who will work to unite, rather than divide us.
