Publisher's summary

A smart and surprising political inventory for how America can reunite and revitalize in a time of crisis.

Written by an admired leader of the Republican party, Rally Point: Five Tasks to Unite the Country and Revitalize the American Dream looks past the 2016 election, past the finger pointing and conventional political thinking, to focus on clear primary principles that conservatives must debate and defend to protect the future of America.

Raised in a working-class family in upstate New York, the first in his family to go to college, paid for in part by his service in the National Guard, Chris Gibson rose from private to colonel in the army, including combat command in the storied 82nd Airborne Division. Rally Point is his story: what he's learned from the school of hard knocks and how he's applied those precious life lessons during his service in Iraq and in Congress.

Drawn from a deep appreciation of history and American exceptionalism, Gibson provides incisive and frank analysis of the current political environment, including President Trump, and provides a road map based on time-tested founding principles to help unite our country and revitalize the American dream. Rally Point is a thoughtful, compelling, enjoyable listen - a must for serious-minded Americans looking for answers in this challenging political environment.

Critic reviews

"Chris Gibson served our country with honor and distinction, both in uniform and in Congress. While we have a different approach to solving some of our country's challenges, we share the critical principle that service to our country and the well-being of the American people must come before partisan politics...a timely message of unity for a divided nation." [Tulsi Gabbard, US representative (HI)]

"Chris Gibson has done a masterful job of laying out the enormous challenges we face as a nation, then showing us a practical way forward. Beautifully written, with powerful examples - from baseball to combat, from family to politics - it's an inspiring roadmap for a better future." (Chris Stewart, New York Times best-selling author)

PLEASE READ... AND THEN MEET ME AT THE RALLYPOINT!

I have always admired Chris's ability to inspire and feel we share the same deep appreciation for the Constitution.

I am grateful that he was my Congressman and I learned alot about our Government from watching him.

In today's world we are constantly let down by those we work to get elected. We want so badly to believe in them... And we want to trust and admire our leaders nationwide. Chris is different... You can hear it in his voice... He stands in sparse company as a true service minded official and a real honest hero on multiple levels.

I was impressed when I saw a mattress in his DC Office, I have been impressed on many occasions by the message and passion in his speeches, I am proud of him as a leader, and I am proud to have this book in my collection and for posterity.

Man... let's each do SOMETHING to get back on track and meet up at the Rally Point! It's going to be great when we get there!

Good conclusions, more specifics needed

Congressman Gibson is an American hero. His policy recommendations are excellent, but more specifics are needed on how we can implement the reforms he calls for. I would also like to know what he plans to do, and what the ordinary citizen can and should do.
