Book Jacket THE PLAN
Big Ideas for Change in America
RAHM EMANUEL AND BRUCE REED
SUMMARY  |  EXCERPT
A fresh look at the national agenda from two of the most invigorating voices in the Democratic Party

The Plan offers a bold vision of what America can be. It shows the way for both parties to move beyond the old political arguments and make progress for the American people. And it offers an innovative agenda for America – with ideas that address the nation's most pressing challenges by doing more for Americans and asking Americans to do more for their country in return. Each of these ideas offers a clean break with the status quo, yet all are positive, practical, and can be put into action right away. Built on the authors' firm beliefs that politicians owe the people real answers, that citizenship is a responsibility, not an entitlement program, and that the Democratic Party succeeds when America succeeds, the highly anticipated Plan delivers, challenges, and inspires.

Rahm Emanuel was elected to the United States Congress from the 5th District of Illinois in 2002. He chaired the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee when the Democrats won back the majority in 2006, and was elected chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. In November 2008, President-elect Barack Obama asked him to serve as White House chief of staff.

Bruce Reed is president of the Democratic Leadership Council and a columnist for Slate magazine.
