"The Partnership for a Secure America is dedicated to recreating the bipartisan center in American national security and foreign policy. We believe that the United States is being ill-served by the growing partisan divide surrounding its national security and foreign policy. Although partisan rancor has traditionally stopped at the water's edge, this tradition of bipartisan cooperation has eroded significantly in recent years in negative and harmful ways."
