Here are a couple of skeptical reviews of the GOP’s plan: A Critique of the GOP’s New ‘Pledge to America’: Dudes. It’s, Like, 20 Pages Too Long. I’ve Got the One-Page Version Right Here. Perhaps the Most Ridiculous Thing to Come Out of Washington Since George McClellan If it is truly a work in progress as some on talk radio suggest, I recommend you to call the GOP and voice your opinion.
