GOP Rolls Out Agenda Topics for Discussion

Recess Packet Previews Party’s Fall Themes

By Jackie Kucinich

House Republicans are using the August recess to test a governing agenda that they plan to release this fall, including the key provisions in a district work period packet provided to rank-and-file Members last week.

The packet, distributed by House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (Ind.), included bullet points on a range of topics, labeled “solutions for discussion,” that GOP sources said represents the skeleton of the fall agenda.

Since launching the “America Speaking Out” initiative last spring, Republican leaders have been coy about what policies would be included in the agenda, telling reporters repeatedly that they were in “listening mode,” gathering input from citizens.

But several Republican aides said Monday that the agenda will be built from the five basic planks outlined in the recess document: jobs, national security, spending restraint, government reform and health care.

Are they going to explain their votes against jobs, government reform and health care or are they going to lie? Hmmmm?

1. They will discuss among themselves on how to continue to say

"No". They are not interested in bi-partisanship or the average American.

I am pretty confident in saying that their new Agenda Topics will be one page with high level bullets and no detail...

2. "Governing agenda"? From Republicans?

Oh, you mean their CAMPAIGN agenda! Haha, I get it now.
