“But I don’t know if they will because the GOP or the RNC has not purposed a unified plan!”

The Contract for America was not rolled out until 6 weeks before the 1994 elections. There’s still time. The Dems have set such a low bar, there’s several no-brainer pledges all Republican candidates could make that won’t tie the party’s hands but will serve to remind people how outrageously Dems have governed:
1) We will not allow anyone who has violated federal tax laws to serve as chair of any committee in Congress.
2) We will not pass any legislation that increases taxes by more than $100 billion on a strict party-line vote.
3) We will never spend revenues dedicated to a special purpose, such as Social Security, Medicare and highway trust funds, on other purposes.
4) We will not allow any increase in the federal debt as a share of GDP.
5) We will abandon the use of earmarks so long as the Democrats agree to the same restriction.
6) We will never enact legislation requiring Americans to purchase something against their will.

Surely there are others, but I’ve tried to address the major issues that have most aroused the Tea Party to action.

You hit the nail on the head! Repubs come out with something like what you've suggested and I very much doubt there will be a dem left standing in Nov.

These newbies just need to go in there and burn that place down and restore it's integral idea again! They have to do it, or many people who are republicans or even vote republican will no longer be...Mark my words!
