Conservative Contract for America v.2010

Below are my proposals for the Conservative Contract for America for this coming election cycle. The details for each item are found in a companion blog. Below the list are important measures that were overlooked in 1994 with regards to implementation.

• Firm support of our Military to win the War with Islamofacism
• Base foreign policy on the Peace Through Strength philosophy
• Cut Government spending at all levels and reduce taxes
• Create a Monetary Policy that greatly reduces the boom and bust cycles
• Move towards Energy Independence by exploring all domestic sources
• Secure the nation’s borders and enforce all current immigration laws
• Implement free market solutions to improve health care delivery
• Restructure the education of our youth
• Move Social Security to a market based solution
• Eliminate judicial tenure, and appoint only strict constructionists
• Revamp entitlement programs to support families and offers more than money
• Common sense solutions to protect the environment that does not overburden the economy
  
  Key Factors for Implementation of the Contract
  History tells us that the 1994 Contract for America was only marginally implemented. I believe it was the lack of a post election plan that lead to that failure. Below are my suggestions that I will fight for with Republican leadership:
  

• Each line item becomes a Solutions Group topic supported with caucus members from both the House and the Senate.
• Every Republican is a member of one Solutions Group. The top two leaders in each chamber may be excused.
• Each Solutions Group is charged with monthly updates to be posted on a web site as *.pdf files for review.
• The key focus within the first 100 days is to identify the specific legislative changes required to implement the plank. Identifying which sections of the US code that need to be eliminated will be a large part of the activity.
• By the end of the first 100 days, a detailed time table will be established for each plank based on the scope of each project.
• Every Republican will maintain links on their home page to the work of each Solutions Group to allow their constituents ready access to updates and the opportunity to contribute ideas.
• Each Solutions Group will identify a leader that will be the spokesperson for the caucus on their particular topic.
• Each Solutions Group will include development of educational materials to support the position and made available to each caucus member to be able to persuade the American people on why their path is best for the country.
  
  I believe that these items are what was missing after 1994. These ideas should not be new to anyone who has worked in private industry or run a large project. They are simply the actions of real leadership that will lead to actually solving problems.
