RECAP VIDEO:
Our Goal
Ping Pong for Politics (PPP) is devoted to finding common ground between the two largest political parties in our government. Since the beginning of 2006, the political polarization of the American public has become increasingly divided. Without compromise, without finding common ground, and without willingness to understand each other's points of view, the two parties continue to disagree on the majority of policies that run through the House and Congress. Our goal is to rediscover the respect and understanding between Republicans and Democrats that was shared so tightly just a decade ago.
