Smart process, smart solutions
This week, the co-chairs of the House Problem Solvers Caucus, Rep. Josh Gottheimer and Rep. Tom Reed and their bipartisan Senate allies, Sen. Bill Cassidy and Sen. Bob Menendez released the SMART Act, a bipartisan proposal with a simple and urgent purpose: To ensure states, cities and towns have the funds they need to stay afloat and keep frontline workers like cops, firefighters, nurses and sanitation workers on the job. Now that the SMART Act is out, we’d like you to ask your Senators and Representative to support. Send an email to your Senators and Representative urging them to support the SMART Act!

Opinion: A quiet, overlooked revolution in congressional power
By Nancy Jacobson, No Labels Founder & CEO

"A few days after Democrats passed a one-party coronavirus relief bill out of the House—a bill Senate Republicans refuse even to consider—a new bipartisan bill to support state and local governments is being introduced in a coordinated fashion in both chambers. After a quarter century when party leaders developed leverage sufficient to dictate policy to the rank-and-file, members in both parties and from both houses are crafting legislation from the bottom up."

 

SMART Act- Take action NOW!

The SMART Act was jointly developed by rank and file House and Senate member from BOTH PARTIES. This is the first time this has ever happened. That’s worth repeating. It’s the first time. Now that the SMART Act is out, we’d like you to ask your Senators and Representative to support it. Can you please step up to give the SMART Act and the No Labels movement a big boost?
