A group of prominent political leaders and thinkers offers a pathwayto cut through the gridlock and make our government work. Every year the President stands before Congress and the American people to deliver a State of the Union Address. What was once an opportunity for honest reflection on accomplishments and goals has become more of a laundry list than a speecha grab bag of policy ideas, partisan rhetoric, and a healthy dose of wishful thinking. Meanwhile, the gridlock in Washington means that virtually nothing in that speech will amount to anything but talk. Governor Jon Huntsman and Senator Joe Manchin, two of the most respected and straightforward political leaders in America, have a simple solution for Washingtons gridlock.It begins with getting our leaders together at the table to agree to goals not just for their party but for the whole country. In this book, Huntsman and Manchin are joined by experts and politicians from both sides of the aisle, including thought leaders from business, economics, and academia. Contributors include two former White House Chiefs of Staff; former OMB Director Alice Rivlin; Glenn Hubbard, Dean of Columbia Business School; nine members of Congress committed to solving Washingtons endemic problems; and more contributors from every walk of life.These contributors are all making a loud call for a new process of running the United States of America. ';Politics doesn't have to be a zero-sum gamewe are going to share the future, and so we need to find ways to work togethera timely book.'

These shared goals allowed us to focus energy on bridging the gap between the partiesBy proposing four large goals around which to rally the country, No Labels: A Shared Vision for a Stronger America lays the groundwork for a return to meaningful bipartisan accomplishment in Washington.'Newt Gingrich

';No Labels has the answer for how we unite this country and put it back on the path to prosperity and progress. The how is the NATIONAL STRATEGIC AGENDA. And JUST THE FACTS is essential reading for anyone who wants to help build this agenda. If you want to understand how America got itself into this mess, and how, with a little clarity and a lot of commitment, we can get ourselves out, pick up JUST THE FACTS and don't stop until you are finished.' Governor Jon M. Huntsman, Jr. Everyone knows our government is broken. But both our government and our country can be fixed if enough people come together to demand a new politics of problem solving. That's what No Labels has believed since we first launched in 2010. Now, we have launched our most ambitious initiative yet. We're spending the next year organizing leaders inside and outside of Washington, as well as regular citizens, to tackle America's toughest challenges. This new NATIONAL STRATEGIC AGENDA will be released in October 2015 and will set out a path for where America needs to go and how we get there. JUST THE FACTS will help guide the creation of the NATIONAL STRATEGIC AGENDA by clarifying the essential facts, trends and assumptions that need to serve as the foundation for discussion of critical policy issues such as jobs, the budget, Social Security and Medicare and energy. Politicians always tell us that we need to unite our nation. This bookand this new campaign for a NATIONAL STRATEGIC AGENDAcan show us how.
