21st CENTURY CONTRACT WITH AMERICA
PART 1: LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS
Dear Fellow Citizen,
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, 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.
Visit Newt.org/Contract for more information on these proposals and details of how the bills
will be developed, to receive the “21st Century Contract with America Newsletter” and offer
suggestions for developing and improving the 21st Century Contract with America.
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 limit American power.
Developing and then implementing the 21st Century Contract with America will be a team
effort of millions of Americans.
8.
Maximize the speed and impact of medical breakthroughs by removing unnecessary
obstacles that block new treatments from reaching patients and emphasizing research
spending towards urgent national priorities, like brain science with its impact on
Alzheimer’s, autism, Parkinson’s, mental health and other conditions 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.
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.
2.
3.
4.
A set of legislative proposals to shift America back to job creation, prosperity, freedom,
and safety.
A “First Day” project of Executive Orders to be signed on inauguration day to
immediately transform the way the executive branch works.
A training program for the transition teams and the appointees who will lead the shift
back to Constitutional, limited government;
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.
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
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.
