Having an interest in these things, and seeing that the thread has managed to survive so far, I'd like to know more about this "Contract on America". Could you tell me, accurately, what exactly that was? Was it itemized? Were there specific goals that an assembly was trying to reach? Did they achieve them? Was it a "contract" as in something gangsters do?

Thanks in advance.
