House Republicans just released a draft of their legislative agenda for the next Congress, a 21-page "Pledge to America" that they will formally unveil Thursday morning at a Virginia hardware store.
"The need for urgent action to repair our economy and reclaim our government for the people cannot be overstated," the introduction says.
It continues: "With this document, we pledge to dedicate ourselves to the task of reconnecting our highest aspirations to the permanent truths of our founding by keeping faith with the values our nation was founded on, the principles we stand for, and the priorities of our people. This is our Pledge to America."

GOP writes... Whenever the agenda of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to institute a new governing agenda and set a new course. As Written... That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government

And the difference between the two sentences? None.
There is a difference.
The "Pledge" says 'new agenda - new course' (weasel words) while the Declaration of Independence says 'alter - abolish - institute new Government'. The first allows the same bunch of drones to stay; the second allows every cussed one of the culls to be thrown out.
Big Difference.
Why are they altering the language of our Declaration? They don't think the Founders got it quite right!?!
I got a “polling call” from Newt last night about this new “contract.”
IN the end, they asked for money.
I hung up.
