Tea Party activists are once again descending on Washington, D.C., and this time they have a 10-point “Contract From America” that they want the next Congress to follow.
“We want them to listen to us,” Ryan Hecker, the conservative activist who spearheaded the contract, told ABC News. “We want to restructure our relationship with elected officials. This is a bottom-up, grassroots, transparent effort to call for real economic conservative reform.”
The Contract From America, which was produced through an online voting process, will be unveiled officially at a 7:30 p.m. ET “Tax Day” rally taking place on Thursday, April 15 at the Washington Monument.
The preamble to the Contract From America states that it is based on the principles of individual liberty, limited government and economic freedom.
It then enumerates 10 agenda items that it wants congressional candidates to follow.
