Video: Fox45 News featuring Debilyn Molineaux of The Bridge Alliance

As the political landscape becomes even more divisive and splits within parties create deeper tension, trying to have a conversation about ideas and policies with family, friends and coworkers is often just avoided.

Poll: 82% of Americans Want Redistricting Done by Independent Commission, Not Politicians

There may be no greater indication that voters are not being listened to in the escalating redistricting war between the Republican and Democratic Parties than a new poll from NBC News that shows 8-in-10 Americans want the parties to stop.

It’s what they call an "80-20 issue," and yet neither party is standing up for the 80% as they prioritize control of Congress.
