Contract from America

[thundley4]

It's not really a blog, but I didn't know where else to put this. Has anyone checked out this site?

Here's just a few of the ideas with a number showing the amount of support they get.

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.

Easily the most relevant thing I've seen posted here. Within five minutes I was able to register and find the Tea Party organization in my area. The site is fairly well laid out and easy to navigate. I would encourage everyone to check it out.

Thanks for the post Mr. 4.
