On the same day House Republicans will release their new governing document, former President Bill Clinton advised Democrats to issue their own written agenda that contains policy ideas before November the midterm elections.
Clinton, who was president when former Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) released the 1994 “Contract with America” that helped propel the GOP into the majority, said Democrats should prepare themselves so they do not lose grip of their message as voters head to the polls.
