(2005-04-14) — Democrat National Committee (DNC) chairman Howard Dean, seeking to overcome his party’s reputation as “a vision-free zone” today unveiled a DNC version of the old Republican Contract with America.
A $307 million advertising campaign will launch the new Democrat agenda under the slogan: “A Better America without DeLay.”
“The Democrat party will sweep Congress in 2006 with a unified, proactive, principled message,” Mr. Dean told an audience of state party leaders. “This slogan capitalizes on our major accomplishment of 2005 and hints at a brighter future thanks to Democrat leadership.”
Polls show a groundswell of enthusiasm among voters as Democrats continue to build on their record of legislative accomplishment by holding news conferences to disparage House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-TX.
“This is why we came to Washington,” said Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-CA. “To make government really work for the little people.”
While the new Democrat agenda is still in the “slogan phase,” Mr. Dean said he would soon poll his supporters on the internet to “flesh out” the vision.
