No Labels represents a broad coalition of Democrats, Republicans and independents dedicated to fighting governmental dysfunction and promoting a new politics of problem solving in our nation’s capital. Since 2010 the No Labels idea has grown into a vast nationwide movement. Our network now consists of more than a half million citizen supporters, a substantial presence on Capitol Hill with members of Congress in both the House and Senate, a community of more than 100 state and local leaders, hundreds of committed business leaders, and more than 100 student chapters on college campuses across the country. As we’ve continued to grow these networks, our focus has remained the same. It is our mission to bring these leaders together and provide them with the tools and the environment to start solving our nation’s most pressing challenges. Support for the No Labels mission has grown substantially on Capitol Hill, and we continue to build trust amongst our members of Congress. As No Labels continues to build our community of Problem Solvers, we will focus on coalescing our network around a new framework for governing through the No Labels National Strategic Agenda. Until now no framework for decision making has existed. We believe if leaders can agree to goals first and then work across the aisle together on the policy solutions, that our nation’s most pressing challenges will be addressed more constructively, efficiently and effectively. The key policy goals outlined in the National Strategic Agenda, as evidenced by a November 2013 poll commissioned by No Labels, are the top priorities for the majority of Americans: Create 25 million jobs over the next 10 years; Secure Social Security and Medicare for another 75 years; Balance the federal budget by 2030; Make America energy secure by 2024.
