Contract From America Nearing Phase 2

During the past several months, hundreds of thousands of members of the free-market, limited government activist community has collected and debated hundreds of potential solutions to our nation’s most pressing problems at www.contractfromamerica.com. We thank you for all your help! The final date for submitting ideas on this site is January 24, 2010.

Right now, we are in the process of narrowing down all the ideas submitted, and we want you to be part of the process. Please go to www.spiritof94.org, and help us by taking the survey. This survey is the next step in a process that will help us identify 20 of the most important issues that resonate with the grassroots community. Following your help finalizing the list, an online vote will be held in February and March, with the final list of 10-12 ideas being unveiled at the April 15th rallies as the Contract from America.

This Contract from America will have a strong grassroots narrative and will create a reform-minded platform led by a broad-based coalition of grassroots activists, public policy organizations, and new media leaders.

Contract From America



Welcome to the Contract From America initiative, where you can join your fellow Americans in a collaborative grassroots effort to create a document that offers real change in Washington, D.C. and the state capitals. This website provides you with the opportunity to offer your innovative free market, limited government solutions to our nation’s pressing problems and to vote and comment on the ideas of others. We believe that the result of this grassroots-generated marketplace of ideas will be a document that not only represents the will of the American people, but promotes unique ideas that will breathe new life into the economic conservative movement. We will have a Contract From America for which we are all responsible and in which we feel a sense of ownership. And politicians will have a stark choice: accept and therefore be held accountable to the terms of the Contract From America, or face loss of their seat in 2010.
