    Description

    Political Opinion Writer

    At OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION, we pride ourselves on being nonpartisan. We welcome editorial submissions from liberal, moderate and conservative writers. Same for our podcast guests. We keep it all civil at all times and have a good time.

    For the last several years, a small army of student interns has been building this out. We now want to open things up more and we'd love to hear from those with something to day -- and who can say it with style.

    We especially like pundits who can get beyond blaming the other side and who can propose common-sense solutions to America's challenges.
