Third Way's Bipartisan Seating Campaign

If these odd pairings can claw, jab, and snipe at one another yet still accomplish their goals, why can’t Congress? We need to show Congress that bettering America is more important than their short-sighted political posturing. To start, we think they should #sittogether during the State of the Union. Come up with your own odd couple and upload it to the Tumblr with a short sentence telling Congress to #sittogether.

Talk about an odd couple - Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill couldn't be more different. Yet they worked beautifully together in Moneyball. Congress - you don't need to know Sabremetrics. #Sittogether for a night and be friendly.

The Colorado congressional delegation chose to sit together at last year's State of the Union and will follow suit this year. The four Democrats (Reps. Diana Degette, Jared Polis and Ed Perlmutter, as well as Sen. Michael Bennet), and three of the four Republicans (Reps. Scott Tipton, Cory Gardner and Mike Coffman) also have a monthly bipartisan breakfast.

Sens. Lieberman and Collins worked together last year to bring an end to the Army’s "Don’t Ask Don’t Tell" policy. They have also worked together on multiple pieces of national security legislation in the past as the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs. #sittogether

Ladies in red! Sen. Mikulski is the longest-serving female senator in the Democratic party. Sen. Hutchison is the longest-serving female senator from the Republican party. At this year's State of the Union, these senior senators -- and members of the Senate Committee on Appropriations -- will put party labels aside and #sittogether.

Simon and Garfunkle famously broke up in 1970 after their hit album The Bridge Over Troubled Water. Congress, to our knowledge, hasn't recorded any hits in quite awhile. #Sittogether and try to make some magic.
