Congressman Brian Baird has been described as "a profile in courage". Fiercely independent, straightforward and willing to say things others in politics won't even consider, Baird's new book looks squarely at the most difficult problems facing our country, then proposes real, practical solutions. Baird's ideas are not just minor reforms but are transformational changes to everything from taxes to immigration, energy to education. Baird is one of the few people in politics today who has the guts to say what people don't want to hear in a way that gets them listening, talking and thinking.
