Contract with America

Summary: How Republicans Can Save America!
Review: In 1993, Democrats, with the help of Vice-President Gore, passed the largest tax increase in America. Through 1993, and 1994, there was no success with these tax hikes. Fortunately for America, Newt Gingrich and an overwhelming majority of Congressional Republicans were elected into office in November of 1994. What the recipe to the Republican's success? This book. As oppose to pork barrel spending, and double talk, Republicans sent a clear vision to the people, showing what they wanted and how it would get done. This was more than a mere election promise, it was the best way to renew America from the tight grip of the Clinton Administration. It worked. Within the first 100 days of the new Republican majority, 9 of the 10 points published in this contract were passed by the House. The Republican's promise to live up to their vision, and make the Contract happen is probably what has enabled them to maintain the leadership in the House and Senate. (The population of Vermont did not vote on whether or not Sen. Jeffords should switch political parties.)This book is the key to the Gingrich Revolution and should be in the hands of all conservatives!

Summary: A Contract On America
Review: The reactionary lunacy contained within this book and the opposition it engendered provided a major contribution to the success of the Clinton administration. It's a book for people beliving that America should be a country with a minority of haves and a majority of have-nots who serve them.

Nevertheless, it's an important historical document. Read it to understand what might have happened had Americans chosen to go over to the "dark side."

Summary: Contract with America over Bill Clinton and Congress
Review: This book outlines a contract the Republicans were to follow should they be given a majority in the House of Representatives in 1994 led by Newt Gingrich.

Although today the contract is long forgotten, at the time is was enough to propel the Republicans to a new majority and for the items in the contract to be voted on.

It also gave some ammunition for Democrats to rally against, however overall it was considered a major success and should be considered a major reason why the tide turned on Bill Clinton and his control over Congress.

Summary: Legislation for a stronger America
Review: Within this book are ideas that have helped make America a better place in terms of the economy, crime reduction, welfare reform, and improving conditions for families. I'll admit Newt Gingrich is not going to win the character of the year award, but his treatise, along with approval from his fellow Republicans, was a stepping-stone to ensure that wasteful, inefficient liberal spending was ended and fiscal responsibility was integrated. Because of this, we enjoy the budget surpluses of today.

Unfortunately, not all parts of the Contract were signed into law, but what did get signed clearly shows in what it set out to accomplish. Gingrich takes on many issues like budget deficits, welfare, crime, family issues, judicial affairs, the size of government, and job creation and offers commons sense ideas on how to either improve in these areas or solve these burdens on the American people. He gives hypothetical myths and answers with actual facts, and how the Contract was not some kind of political stunt or way to win voters. It was a necessary collection of ideas that stress personal and fiscal responsibility, limited government, liberty, and safety at home and abroad. It also preaches the need to end modern liberal spending pracices and return to more sensical limits to government's scope and power. Luckily for America, the Contract started the ball rolling to clean up government and give more voice to the people who desire the power to fix America's problems.
