the government shutdown continues. i want to talk for a minute about political courage. as of today 19 republicans in congress are now pushing to fund the government without strings attached, without making it about the president s health care law. the hope is that others will join them and that they ll become unlikely allies with democrats. so we ll have members of different parties working together to open our government. in my new book the rejected stone i write about the need for all of us to be aware of where we are going, not who we re going with.
being open to unlikely allies talks about how i learned and watched others learn that something your goal will attract people that you don t normally walk the same path with. and you must always be more committed to the end goal than to those that travel along the way. if you have a destination, you may find some fellow travelers who may be different than you, may come from a totally different perspective than you, but for a while could travel the same road. always keep your eye on the prize. don t worry about who s going to walk with you on the path. i m really excited about the book. if you d like to read an excerpt from the rejected stone, please go to our facebook page, facebook.com/politicsnation. on the page you will also find details about the book signing i ll be doing in new york city next week. it will be this tuesday, october 8th. the day the book comes out.
