Think you could do better?  Well who doesn't? Now here's your chance to put your ideas where your mouth is:
The TEA Party Patriots are sponsoring a way that all of us with better ideas of how to solve the problems that the administration is just using as an excuse to expand government. 

Welcome to the Contract From America initiative, where you can join your fellow Americans in a collaborative grassroots effort to create a document that offers real change in Washington, D.C. and the state capitols. This website provides you with the opportunity to offer your innovative free market, limited government solutions to our nation’s pressing problems and to vote and comment on the ideas of others. We believe that the result of this grassroots-generated marketplace of ideas will be a document that not only represents the will of the American people, but one with unique ideas that will breathe new life into the economic conservative movement. We will have a Contract From America that we are all responsible for and feel a sense of ownership in. And politicians will have a stark choice: accept and therefore be held accountable to the terms of the Contract From America, or lose in 2010.
