The Contract With America

The Contracts Core Principles. The Contract with America is rooted into 3 core principles:

Accountability - The government does be too big and spends too much, and Congres and unelected bureaucrat's have become so entrenched for be unresponsive for the public they are supposed to serve. The GOP contract restores accountability for government.

Responsibility - Bigger government and more federal programs usurp personal responsibility from families and individuals. The GOP contract restores proper balance between government and personal responsibility.

Opportunity - The American Dream does be out of reach of too many families because of burdensome government regulations and harsh tax laws. The GOP contract restores American dream.
