Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House spoke to over 500 people at the 16th annual dinner of the Nevada Policy Research Institute Dinner (NPRI). The theme of his talk was “American Solutions for Winning the Future.” He has created a grassroots, non-partisan group that will develop solutions for the future. He said that every great change in American history came from the people and not government. He believes that as Americans we must strengthen and renew the principles and values of American civilization by making English the official language of the United States, allowing every American to have the right to say “One nation under God” when reciting the pledge and abolishing the death tax.
He believes that we must move the government into the 21st century. It needs to be efficient, accountable and responsive. He said that if Federal Express can track 23 million packages on-line each day, the federal government should be able to track 7 million illegal aliens. He sited the case of one illegal alien that had used a false social security number. She was the 43rd person to use that number. The federal government needs to enter the modern age.
He also believes that as a nation we must do everything we can to protect America. America must control its borders and strengthen its intelligence system. He was not happy that the President of Iran was allowed to speak on US soil.
He ended his talk by promoting his three day conference called “American Solutions for Wining the Future” which will be help on September 27, 2007, the 13th anniversary of the unveiling of the “Contract with America.” The three day series of meetings will be held across the country and available by the internet and direct TV.
