Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he can't be bothered with campaigning for the presidency right now, because he's on a mission to save American civilization from the gravest crisis it has faced since the Civil War.
According to the Times, Gingrich's mission includes creating a new political action committee (PAC) to try to identify the changes America must make to survive, an effort he added, that would be 50 times as ambitious as the PAC he used in the 1980s and 1990s to train hundreds of Republican politicians and build a personal fund-raising domain. He promises his new effort will be a 10-point Contract With America for the 21st century, which includes Social Security privatization, electoral reform, radical streamlining of government, and "patriotic education” for schoolchildren and immigrants.

It calls for a re-entry to America of the "creator from whom all our liberties come” and the appointing of judges who understand "the centrality of God in American history.” He told the Times the new PAC, the American Solutions for Winning the Future, will be organized as a 527 group, named for a section of the tax code that allows for raising and spending unlimited money with minimal disclosure. He said he hoped to raise tens of millions of dollars through the committee to find bipartisan solutions to the nation’s problems. He added that any candidate of any party who wants to join in the effort would be welcome.
I hope he can re-energize the right like he did in the 1990's.
