A LETTER FROM THE DESK OF NEWT GINGRICH

Dear Fellow Citizen,

America's exceptional nature is based on the self-evident truths contained in the Declaration of Independence.  Our rights are endowed by our Creator and they are unalienable.

If we are to solve our jobs crisis and meet the challenges of the 21st century, we need a plan for national renewal based on these timeless American values.

That plan is the 21st Century Contract with America.

The 21st Century Contract with America will be much larger than the original, and will consist of four parts.

1. A set of legislative proposals to shift America back to job creation, prosperity, freedom and safety.
2. A "First Day" project of Executive Orders to be signed on inauguration day to immediately transform the way the executive branch works.
3. A training program for the transition teams and the appointees who will lead the shift back to Constitutional, limited government;
4. A system of citizen involvement to help us sustain grassroots support for change and help implement the change through 2021.

This brochure outlines the basics of the legislative proposals in the 21st Century Contract with America.

Visit Newt.org/Contract for more information on these proposals and details of how the bills will be developed, to receive the "21s Century Contract with America Newsletter" and offer suggestions for developing and improving the 21st Century Contract with America.

Developing and then implementing the 21st Century Contract with America will be a team effort of millions of Americans.

I'm asking Americans to be with me, not just for me, because it will take all of us, working together, to change Washington and to save our country.

      Your friend 

      Newt


21ST CENTURY CONTRACT WITH AMERICA
PART 1: LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS
  1. Repeal Obamacare and pass a replacement that saves lives and money by empowering patients and doctors, not bureaucrats and politicians.

  2. Return to robust job creation with a bold set of tax cuts and regulatory reforms that will free American entrepreneurs to invest and hire, as well as by reforming the Federal Reserve and creating a training requirement for extended federal unemployment benefits to encourage work and improve the quality of our workforce.

  3. Unleash America’s full energy production potential in oil, natural gas, coal, biofuels, wind, nuclear oil shale and more, creating jobs, stimulating a sustainable manufacturing boom, lowering gasoline and other energy prices, increasing government revenues, strengthening the dollar, and bolstering national security.

  4. Save Medicare and Social Security by giving Americans more choices and tools to live longer, healthier lives with greater financial independence.

  5. Balance the federal budget by freeing job-creators to grow the economy, reforming entitlements, and implementing productivity improvement systems, such as Lean Six Sigma, to eliminate waste and fraud. Pass a balanced budget amendment to keep it balanced.

  6. Control the border by January 1, 2014 and establish English as the official language of government; reform the legal visa system, and make it much easier to deport criminals and gang members while making it easier for law abiding visitors to come to the US.

  7. Revitalize our national security system to meet 21st century threats by restructuring and adequately funding our security agencies to function within a grand strategy for victory over those who seek to kill us or to limit American freedom.

  8. Maximize the speed and impact of medical breakthroughs by removing unnecessary obstacles that block new treatments from reaching patients and emphasizing research spending toward urgent national priorities, like brain science with its impact on Alzheimer’s, autism, Parkinson’s, mental health and other conditions that knowledge of the brain will help solve.

  9. Restore the proper role of the judicial branch by using the clearly delineated powers available to the president and Congress to correct, limit, or replace judges who violate the Constitution.

  10. Enforce the Tenth Amendment by starting an orderly transfer of power and responsibility from the federal government back “to the states, respectively, or to the people,” as the Constitution requires. Over the next year, state and local officials and citizens will be asked to identify the areas which can be transferred back home.
