I would like to see either the Democratic candidates or the DNC conduct a reconciliation committee.

The Democratic National Committee should consider beginning a reconciliation committee.

This primary season for the DNC has been an incredible time for the country with two highly qualified candidates. 

The two campaigns are very diverse and each brings concerned citizens from around the country.

I think there are some issue both candidates can agree on such as immigration reform and violence within our borders. Their insight may be different, but, basically they are concerned for the country. What is important is their agendas are remarkably similar, albeit, slightly different approaches.

A reconciliation committee with representatives from each campaign as well as DNC member(s) can begin to bring the issues forward to a national platform. I do not want to lose the constituents of either candidate into silence. It is not good for the party or the country or the people effected by governmental neglect. 

Senator Sander's supporters are passionate about his message. There is a reason for that passion. Their lives have been profoundly impacted by the losses of the USA economic vitality. I think Senator Sanders comes with very valid and documented concerns. We have to address these issues. We don't have an option.

Secretary Clinton has passionate supports as well. She represents long standing concerns  of the DNC. Our Democratic Presidents have worked very hard to move the issues of minority Americans dating back to the 1960s. 

The Democratic Presidents have distinguished records with civil rights. We need to pick up civil rights where it stands today and finish the problems once and for all. I think Secretary Clinton has her hand on the pulse of our minorities. She promised to bring immigration reform to the Hispanic community as the very first legislation under her leadership if she wins the White House. We need to hold onto that priority. She is also concerned about the safety of Americans. She focuses on the long overdue women's work equity and wealth.

Each candidate has focused their loyalties on constituents at a pivotal time in the country's history. We need to address many issues such the national debt as well as the agenda of the candidates. It just seems to me the campaigns need to come together soon to discuss what happens to these problems when either Senator Sanders wins or Secretary Clinton wins. 

I really don't want to lose any of the focus of each candidate. They both have incredible important agendas. 

I think a reconciliation committee is vital to the convention and the way forward from here. Winning the nomination does not have to mean a profound loss of the importance of the issues at hand.
