Conservatives and Grass roots Republican must take back Congress to save the republic.

Yep. Contract with America II.

Yep. Contract with America II.

Yes, and it should start with the unfinished business from Contract with America I. Most importantly, congressional term limits and the abolition of the US Department of Education.

Conservatives and Republicans won big when we ran on ideas in 1994. For whatever reason, though, we haven't run on ideas since.

We as conservatives and the Republican Party as a whole should think about that.

For that matter, where is Newt Gingrich on this? I know there are some problems with his "New Contract", but what the heck is he doing piddling around with the Presidential race? You'd think he of all people would be out front in pushing for a national, ideas-driven Congressional campaign.

I really think it's time for Michael Steele, as Chairman of GOPAC, to step up here. When he took over last year, he vowed to make it the kind of force it was under Newt Gingrich. We're facing a Democrat tide from the top of the ballot to the bottom this November, and if the GOP wants any chance of stemming it, it needs to give conservatives something to get excited about and vote for, rather than against. John McCain ain't it. A new "Contract", or something like it, could be just the ticket, though.

If anyone here knows Michael Steele, tell him we want his leadership on this. More than a few of us thought he'd make a fine VP nominee, but I think he has an historic chance to serve his movement, his party, and his country right where he is.
