No Labels is an organization with a mission: stop fighting and start fixing.  This growing political organization includes members from all political parties and focuses on bringing them together.  No Labels seeks to help solve national problems by organizing citizens, providing space for legislators to convene, and by pushing for common-sense reforms.      

Launching in 2010, No Labels has continued to expand and now includes hundreds of thousands of supporters across the nation.  As of 2013, they have two new national leaders helping their cause: former Republican Governor Jon Huntsman and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin.  They also have 78 members of Congress becoming Problem Solvers who have agreed to meet regularly in the upcoming year to help build trust between the parties.  They also have three action plans called Make Congress Work!, Make the Presidency Work! and Make America Work!   

No Labels most famous proposal is No Budget, No Pay.  Although altered slightly, the main point of the original proposal was attached to legislation that would temporarily raise the debt ceiling.  No Budget, No Pay, which states that if Congress cannot pass a budget then members will not be paid, was passed by the House and the Senate and signed into effect on February 4.     

You can join No Labels and start helping make change happen.  On July 18, the 78 members of Congress that are Problem Solvers will make a bold announcement on the Capitol Hill steps and you won’t want to miss it!  No Labels will also host a citizens training seminar that you can take part in.  To be a part of this important and unprecedented event, RSVP now.
