John,



Happy Presidents’ Day! Here at Forward HQ, we are taking time to reflect on the values and leadership of Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and how they still shape our country today.



In his Farewell Address, President Washington warned of the dangers of sectionalism and organizing centralized political parties. He recognized that when we enter political camps designed on an “us vs. them” mentality and prioritize power over cooperation, political parties weaken the government’s ability to lead effectively. 



In his famous “House Divided” speech, then-Senate candidate Lincoln reminded us that a government constantly jostling with itself for power cannot lead and, ultimately, deprives the governed of their rights.

The Forward Party is dedicated to course-correcting the path that bitterly partisan politics has led our country down. Our dedication to free people, thriving communities and vibrant democracy is guided by the vision of these two leaders. But beyond that, it’s guided by the vision of the people we serve and by their dedication to improving our communities.



Thank you for being with us on this journey, for sharing your thoughts on how to strengthen our democracy, and for helping move our country Forward, together. We hope you have a great Presidents’ Day.





Best,

The Forward Party
