Below, an exercise that demonstrates how political positions change when congress members rub each other the right and wrong ways... The Balloon Holding Game teaches Representatives Diana DeGette, Scott Tipton, Ed Perlmutter and Doug Lamborn and Senator Michael Bennet how the actions of each person affects the ability of the group to move forward together while continuing to push on their buffers of hot air. As seen below, cooperation can only begin by catching a falling congress person...
