THE AMERICAN ELEVEN

Writing about winning in the 2006 election, Newt Gingrich, today, writes about The American Eleven - A Values Led Plan for Victory in November and lists 11 issues that he says "are all clear and all doable".

Newt says,

Consultants are working overtime to convince the American people to favor Republican policies. This is exactly backwards.

What really works is what happens when Republicans identify themselves with the American people and against the values of the left-wing establishment that dominates the media, the bureaucracies and the lobbying community.

I like his 11 value issues. Read his article here.
