  1. Thanks for writing, great stuff. I’m looking forward to it.

  2. Hello Brock, as a political letter writer and artist, I see your project as a necessary bridge. In the past I have strived to create political art that was a expose of horrific decisions balanced with the possibilities of the future. Yet when it gets into conversation, it seems that rational thought gives way to cliches, learned talking points, and shouting. Not a conversation, just spouting. I have a show coming up for Inauguration that I hope all sides could come and see and converse, and I hope that you could help bring liberals and conservatives to this Salida event. Then see you at the library too. I’ll be doing an online interview with Bill Donovan shortly as to the intent and details.
    Thank YOU for your efforts. Jimmy Descant

  3. I first encountered Brock Oyler’s brain child of the Convergence Project on a work for hire basis, assisting in the graphic design. At the time it was a fragile idea with so much potential (we both wished the budget matched at the time) that it was impossible to ignore. To see this mature over the past year (congrats on the non-profit status, Brock!) through the local paper and word of mouth has been a real joy. To see an idea with such daunting aspirations actually succeed, even on a local level, has been one of the most heartening exeriences in Salida. Thanks, Brock. Here’s to greater success for you and your organization!
