The Centrist Solution: How We Made Government Work and Can Make It Work Again
Senator Joe Lieberman
* The Clear Need for Actionable Guidance on Bipartisanship: Post-Trump, post-Covid, Americans want to see politicians under the Biden administration getting things done-which can only happen in the center, rather than by politicians retreating to extreme sides of their parties.
* A Stark Contrast to Publishing Industry Trend of Political Extremism: This book will stand out among the crowd of political books from the Trump extreme of the Republican Party and the Bernie Sanders/AOC extreme of the Democratic Party.
* Details Behind Author’s Role in Major Government/Political Achievements Done in the Center, Through Bipartisanship: 10 of Lieberman’s centrist accomplishments and initiatives are narrated and dissected. They include legislation like the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security; and the author’s role in bringing centrism to presidential campaigns as VP running mate with Al Gore in 2000 and being vetted by John McCain as a potential running mate on the Republican ticket.
* Clear Lessons and Actionable Advice from Major Achievements: Each of the 10 milestones are broken down to extract and define the principles and lessons of bipartisan centrism on display, and how they can be applied in today’s government.
* Wide Audience of Regular Citizens and Budding Politicians: A silent majority of Americans are fed up with ineffective political division and will welcome a sane voice on how to make government work; and young people looking to enter politics will seek clear guidance on how to make government actually function.
* Author’s Outstanding Government-Service Credentials: Lieberman served 24 years in the Senate and was Al Gore’s VP running mate; he helped shape legislation in every major area of public policy and served in leadership roles, including as chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs.
* Author’s Current Platform: With regular appearances on national media, Lieberman is honorary national co-chair of No Labels, a centrist organization focused on problem-solving in American politics ; and with former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, co-chair of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense. He is also on the Board of Trustees for The McCain Institute for International Leadership.
* Leadership and Public Policy Awards: In 2015, Senator Lieberman received the Winston Churchill National Leadership Award for exhibiting virtues of resolution, magnanimity and goodwill in the service of constitutional democracy. In 2012, he received the Ewald von Kleist Award, given by the Munich Security Conference for an outstanding contribution to peace and conflict resolution.
* Support of No Labels: In addition to a significant purchase of book copies, No Labels-with whom Diversion Books published The Ultimate Guide to the 2020 Election-will provide publicity and marketing support.
