Attempting to rebut the Democrats' charge that the GOP is the "Party of No,"about a dozen Republicans, led by House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), are expected to attend the unveiling. The campaign plan is modeled on the 1994 "Contract With America," released by the party before it took the majority of seats in both chambers in that year's elections.

The Republicans will hold a round-table Thursday with small business owners and then a news conference at Tart Lumber Co. to discuss their proposals, they announced Tuesday.

GOP leaders have not said what policy ideas will be included, but they are expected to combine ideas that the party has proposed over the past 20 months with concepts pushed by the growing grass-roots "tea party" movement.

"We want to show the American people we are listening and we believe Washington has run roughshod over the American people," said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who worked in one of the informal groups of Republicans that helped frame the document.

One tea party proposal under consideration for the Republican agenda calls for a requirement that before a bill is passed, Congress cite what provision in the Constitution specifically gives it the power to enact laws on that issue. Republican plans on stimulating the economy and reforming health care that have been rejected by congressional Democrats could also be in included.

4. Everyone over 40 knows Newt is a piece of shit - failure hero of epic

proportions! This will backfire, like always now, and cost them seats in the future. A small minority eat their shit up and ask for seconds, the large MAJORITY of us laugh at their pathetic attempts to get rich at our expense...oh wait...

If the tea people are so "educated" about the Constitution as they profess, why would they need to have it explained to them in the legislation?
