In September 1980, I helped President Ronald Reagan, then a candidate, organize the first Capitol steps event. And we had a Contract with America. Positive ideas, positive solutions led to the Republicans picking up the US Senate for the first time since 1954.
And President Reagan won with a bigger electoral college vote against the incumbent than anyone in American history. In 1994, in September, we launched the Contract with America.
And House Republicans offered a series of very precise ideas. And as a result, we picked up 53 seats. And for the first time in 40 years, we had the majority in the House. Now, in September, I recently was with the House Republicans, as they adopted what they’re calling a Commitment to America. Very specific ideas, you can see them all at CommitmenttoAmerica.com.
And I was fascinated. It’s very well developed. Kevin McCarthy, as leader, began over a year ago, having seven different working groups put together positive specific ideas to restore the America that works. I think this was a big development. I think it’s worth your looking at as a citizen. And I think you’re gonna find that there are a lot of things you really believe in that need to get done, that are right there in that commitment to America.
So I was asked yesterday to join them, and be part of it. I was honored to be with them. And I think that I felt like I was being part of history once again, just as in 1980, with Ronald Reagan, and in 1994, with the Contract. So take a look at the commitment to America, I think you’re gonna find that it’s different, as positive. It’s a real effort to think about the solutions we need.
And I think it’s going to be very healthy for the American system to get back to a debate about ideas and not just negative personality attacks.
