Did you read the "NEW PARTNERSHIP FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE

[napi21]

announced by the Dems today? I know where they're going with this in trying to copy the idea of the Gingrich "Contract with America" of 1996.

Here's a link: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040922/dcw034_1.html

It's toward the bottom section of the page.

I don't have a probelem with the ideas, but they are way too long. For most people to accept this kind of stuff, you have to keep your statements short and sweet. This doesn't do that.

1. Everyone remembers the failed

"Contract", don't they?

2. "Statements short and sweet"?? You mean like PNAC did?

3. I suppose that was a slam to me. That ok. No I mean for instance:

Instead of a long paragraph like this one:

Create 10 million new jobs over the next four years * Reform the tax code to reward companies for creating secure jobs in America, not for outsourcing jobs overseas * Expand home ownership and affordable housing opportunities * Invest in our nation's infrastructure, including broadband * Enact middle class tax relief * Make unprecedented investment in cutting edge research, development and advanced technology for the next generation of jobs, products and services to build the American economy * Assure access to capital for small businesses to create jobs and serve new markets * Support fair wages with good benefits so no one goes to work every day and comes home poor and dependent on public services * Approve trade agreements that enforce laws protecting the rights of labor and aggressively expand commerce in products "Made in the USA" * Build stronger rural communities and sustain America's rural economy *

They should be made bullet points like:

*10 Million new jobs in four years.
*Reward Companies for keeping jobs in America
*Expand home ownership
*Invest in our nations infrastructure.

You get the point! People tend to be more likely to read individual bullet points, and at the most scan paragraphs.
