Report: Kevin McCarthy to Unveil ‘Commitment to America’ Agenda

Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 6 Sep 2022

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is set to unveil his four-pillared “Commitment to America” agenda that will be the core of the GOP message and strategy heading into the 2022 midterm elections.

Announced earlier in the year, McCarthy’s “Commitment to America” will be officially unveiled on September 19 in Pittsburgh. The vision is similar to House Republicans’ 1994 “Contract with America,” where the GOP saw massive gains in Congress in the midterm election during former President Bill Clinton’s first term.

McCarthy’s agenda has four focal points: “an economy that’s strong,” “a nation that’s safe,” “a future that’s free,” and “a government that’s accountable.” The “Commitment to America” is a result of collaboration from all GOP House members, not just Republican leadership.

“I’ve had a piece of putting this together. You’ll have everybody from the most conservative district to the most swingiest district all pushing the same thing. So that should fire everybody up,” Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) told Axios.

The agenda represents “what we want to get done in the first hundred days” and hopes to show voters that “we’re planning now so we can hit the ground running on January 3,” Garbarino said.

Under the “Commitment to America’s” economic pillar, House Republicans plan to combat record-high inflation levels, regain America’s energy independence, and strengthen our nation’s supply chain.

This is the way to get it done!! Get rid of the Biden this and Biden that and concentrate on what we stand for!  Quote:  focal points: “an economy that’s strong,” “a nation that’s safe,” “a future that’s free,” and “a government that’s accountable.”

Historic majority?  I think McCarthy is really dreaming and not realizing that an election was stolen.  This is reminiscent of Gingrich's 'Contract With America' --- McCarthy is a RINO. This is much a do about nothing.  Even IF the GOP manages to take the House, I don't expect much; the do nothing Congress will continue.  I'm not very optimistic with the way things are going and how things went even with a full GOP majority.

House Republicans release 'Commitment to America,' finalizing midterm messaging

House Republicans are readying for midterm elections in November. Media buys in the intervening months will only be as effective as the messages they permit politicians to transmit to voters. For this reason, and in hopes of achieving cohesion in the party's communications, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will officially unveil a four-piece "Commitment to America" on September 19 in Pittsburgh.

This package of commitments will indicate to voters not only what the GOP intends to combat in the way of Democrat policies, pernicious trends, and perceived corruption, but what it intends to deliver instead to the electorate. The latter is regarded by some as more important — communicating a positive message along with solutions rather than negative messaging.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) told Axios: "If you're just running on anti-Biden, well, that's not going to get you over the finish line."

When responding to President Joe Biden's claim that the Republican philosophy is "semi-fascist," McCarthy hinted at the party's forward-looking thematics: "Our best days are ahead of us, not behind us. Our nation can flourish again, and under a new historic Republic majority, it will."....................

"Commitment to America"   Genius phrasing, it just rolls off the tounge.

Getting rid of Joe & Company is much easier said than done. The swamp runs very deep and McCarthy is very much a part of that swamp. 

Under Trump we had a strong economy a much safer nation, energy independence, and hope for a positive future.  The RINO's and leftists stole an election to ensure that his policies were decimated. I say don't be fooled by McCarthy & Company.

"An economy that is strong"

The first document attributed an estimated 550% increase in inflation to Democrat spending and noted the impact of a 12% spike in food prices. It also emphasized American energy dependence, the high price of gasoline, and U.S. reliance on a hostile supply of critical goods (i.e. particularly on communist China).

The proposed remedies:

eliminate wasteful government spending;
reduce the cost of living and boost business with "pro-growth tax policies";
reconnect workers with jobs while also disincentivizing remote work;
end Biden's "anti-energy policies" and increase the production of American-made energy; onshore supply lines and manufacturing; and
strengthen and modernize the U.S. stockpile of supplies and medicine

"A nation that is safe"

The second document pointed to the fallout of the Biden administration's border policies, including the crime and drug deaths resulting from unchecked illegal immigration. It also noted the connections between "Defund the Police" initiatives and skyrocketing murders and between failed border policies and the unprecedented number of opioid overdoses.

The proposed remedies:

require proof of legal status when applying for a job;
restrict welfare benefits that incentivize illegal immigration;
end catch-and-release at the southern border;
finish building the border wall while also fully funding Border Patrol;
make violent crime against police officers a federal offense;
fully fund hiring bonuses to recruit more cops;
deny funding to "woke district attorneys" and prosecutors who refuse to prosecute crimes;
invest in the lethality of the U.S. military;
hold the Biden administration responsible for the botched Afghanistan withdrawal;
stand with Israel against Iran and terrorism; and
counter communist Chinese aggression.

"A future that is free"

The third document homed in on three fronts: education, health care, and free speech. On the first front, it underlined a dearth (28%) of confidence in public schools, the Department of Justice's efforts to target parents, and the pandemic's deleterious impact on children's academics. For health care, the document noted Americans' decreasing life expectancy and the possible negative impact of an increasingly socialized approach to medicine. Finally, the document touched both on the addictive and censorious nature of social media.

The proposed remedies:

take action to protect parental rights and expand school choice;
ensure that transsexuals do not ruin girls' school sports;
invest in lifesaving cures;
modernize personal health care and expand access to telemedicine;
scrap Section 230 protections for big tech companies;
provide greater data security protections for citizens; and
counter the cartelization of and collusion between big tech organizations.

"A government that is accountable"

The final document in the communication kit suggests the Democrats have: been opaque in their dealings; worked to silence their critics; applied the law unevenly; and run roughshod over the liberties of conservatives.

The proposed remedies:

promote government transparency and accountability;
uphold free speech and religious liberty;
defend the unborn and protect pro-lifers targeted by bad actors;
safeguard the Second Amendment; and
ensure safe and free elections.

McCarthy’s agenda has four focal points: “an economy that’s strong,” “a nation that’s safe,” “a future that’s free,” and “a government that’s accountable.”

Blah, blah, blah.
This is as mealy-mouthed as you can get.

How about...
- Restore and protect freedom of speech at all levels of society
- Secure the border and put a moratorium on all immigration
- Ensure the production of all forms of energy along with the rights to use it as needed.
- Protect the election processes at all levels
- End affirmative action -- ALL OF IT, everywhere
- Restore a base level of moral behavior
- Capture, prosecute, and punish criminals

I reckon that's a start...

I gotta disagree. Not with those laudable objectives, they’re fine. But rather with the messaging itself and how to conduct it.

We’ve gotten to the brink of living in a socialist dictatorship one inch at a time, over time.  Socialism entered the body politic first through inoculation with the activism surrounding social ‘rights’.  Starting with civil rights, then women’s rights, next gay rights and on to trans rights, and so on. (Instead of simply deferring back to “all rights flow from the constitution and the Bill of Rights; and the rest of our social lives is nobody else’s business).

So the pump for getting to full blown communism was primed with nice sounding things that could garner general support. Who could come out against rights?

Despite my tortured metaphors, I suspect congressional legislation won’t fix what’s happening to us now. We on the right have got to be just as clever, and—here’s where we can learn from the left—just as stealthy as the left has been, in order to get support from the public for a return to a constitutional America.
