As the opinions of Americans hit new lows about our political system, the House Problem Solvers Caucus show us what can be accomplished when you have the moral courage to put aside partisanship and focus on results.
Hi Friend,
The U.S. Congress has spent weeks hurtling toward a government shutdown. But yesterday on Capitol Hill, a ray of hope finally broke through to show a sensible path forward.
Our allies in the House Problem Solvers Caucus – featuring 64 commonsense Republican and Democratic lawmakers – have put forward a framework that would keep the government open, while setting us on a path to rein in reckless spending. Our new Five Facts has a breakdown of the new framework – check it out here.

As we’ve all watched Congress this fall, there’s been a sense of fatalism in the air. That pessimism about our government, our elected leaders and our political system was captured this week in a new study by Pew Research, appropriately called, “Americans’ Dismal Views of the Nation’s Politics.”
Some lowlights:
Just 27 percent of adults say our political system is working well. On the other hand, 63 percent have little confidence in the future of the system.
Two of three of Americans say they almost always “feel exhausted” when thinking about politics, while only 10 percent feel any sense of hope.
When asked to identify the strengths of our system, a full 22 percent of adults said “nothing.”
It’s no surprise faith in our political system is so low when so many high-profile politicians are more concerned with political theater than cleaning up the mess that we’re in.
Leaders like the Problem Solvers Caucus co-chairs -- Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey – have really stepped up. They organized a coalition of Republicans and Democrats to develop a framework for averting a government shutdown – doing the hard work of responsible governance.
That style doesn’t get headlines, but it has gotten results in the recent past, from a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure in 2021 to needed funding to combat the worst of the COVID pandemic in 2020.
Americans have a lot to be upset about with our political system. Too often, it rewards partisan politics over sensible leadership. But quietly, away from the flashy news, true public servants like the House Problem Solvers Caucus are working to get stuff done – nation over party.
No Labels is making history, and we want you to be part of it! We're working hard to build the launching pad for a potential independent Unity presidential ticket – featuring one Democrat and one Republican – in 2024. Forces within the two major parties have already registered their objections to this project, but they're only displaying a disconnect with how the country feels.
No Labels 101 is an introduction call into everything we are working on and how it all works together.
The American government’s ability to function is once again hanging in the balance as the risk of another government shutdown looms large. The fractious House Republican conference has been unable to reach a consensus on key spending issues, while the Democratic Senate has vowed to block spending bills that cater to the demands of far-right members of the Republican Party. Wednesday night, the House Problem Solvers Caucus, a bipartisan group of legislators that has played a leading role in passing landmark bills in recent years, laid out a four-step comprehensive plan to keep the government running and address other critical issues, offering a path forward to preventing another costly shutdown.
