Earlier today, our General Chairman Newt Gingrich sent the following invitation to Senator Barack Obama to attend Solutions Day:
Dear Senator Obama:
I viewed with great interest your new ad, "Real Change," in which you declare that this year, "change has to be more than a slogan." On this critical point, at this critical time, I believe you and I have found common ground.
Earlier this year I wrote a book entitled Real Change: From the World that Fails to the World that Works. The premise of Real Change is that Americans - Democrats, Republicans and independents - are united in their desire for change. But you're absolutely correct - "change" can't just be a slogan. So Real Change outlines specific solutions for the energy, environment, immigration, education, retirement, economic and health care challenges we face.
I'm also General Chairman of an organization, American Solutions for Winning the Future, that was founded to rise above traditional, gridlocked partisanship to find the solutions that will bring about real change.
I'm writing you today to invite you to be a part of an exciting initiative to engage the American people in moving "real change" from a slogan to a reality.
On September 27, American Solutions will join with citizen activists and elected officials across the country to participate in our second annual Solutions Day.
Last year, on our inaugural Solutions Day, over 100,000 Americans participated in person and online in more than 35 workshops at six different locations across the country to find solutions in education, health care, energy and the environment. It was a truly bipartisan event. Democrats including Roy Romer and Elaine Kamarck led workshops along with Republicans such as Dick Armey and Mike Huckabee.
This year, the theme of Solutions Day 2008 will be "We Have the Power." This theme is a reflection of the belief we share in the power and potential of citizen activism. As a template for this citizen activism, American Solutions has produced a tripartisan document called The Platform of the American People, which can be viewed at AmericanSolutions.com/Platform.
I invite you to learn more about Solutions Day at SolutionsDay2008.com. And then I invite you to join us on September 27 to outline your vision of real change in energy, the economy, education and health care. Of course, I know how busy your schedule is these days. So if you're unable to join us in person, we would be excited if you could submit a video of your ideas for real change.
This is an increasingly divided, partisan time in our national life. Solutions Day this September 27 will be an opportunity to genuinely put aside party and politics and concentrate - if only for a day - on the challenges that face us as a nation. Your voice and your commitment to a more hopeful and more prosperous America would be an invaluable contribution.
Yours sincerely,
Newt Gingrich
The first Solutions Day had David Barton speak. Why are there are no well known Christian speakers scheduled this time?
Did you miss the fact that John McCain's first decisive win against Obama was the Saddleback Church debate? Did you miss that Sarah Palin makes strong Christian statements? Did you miss the fact that all true Conservatives are born again Christians like our Founding Fathers because that is the true essence of being conservative?
Did you miss the fact that Kirk W. Fraser is one of the longest enduring participants in American Solutions with two solutions in the first 100 and many more through this year? Did you fail to consider rewarding that loyalty?
Did someone on your staff decide they want to cooperate with the Red White and Blue inclusive agenda so much they threw out God which the Blue is wont to do? Or did they choose to follow another more recent founding father?
The true founding fathers came up with COOPERATION between church and state except not letting one church be in charge of the state. The founding father of SEPERATION was Supreme Court Justice Black, a KKK member who in 1947 inexcusibly altered the meaning of a scribbled note by Thomas Jefferson, taking the SEPERATION phrase out of context of the note AND out of context of his other writings. So who's your daddy? The KKK?
