contract with america









































the contract with america was a document released by the united states republican party during the 1994 congressional election campaign. written by newt gingrich and dick armey, and in part using text from former president ronald reagan's 1985 state of the union address, the contract detailed the actions the republicans promised to take if they became the majority party in the united states house of representatives for the first time in 40 years. many of the contract's policy ideas originated at the heritage foundation, a conservative think tank.

the fpö presented its first wave of election posters on 7 august 2008; they consisted of one big election poster and four to be put on triangle stands ("dreiecksständer"); two of them (including the big one) prominently featured fpö leader strache, and all of them depicted an eagle (from the coat of arms of austria) giving a thumbs up. the main slogan was "they are against him. because he is for you." ("sie sind gegen ihn. weil er für euch ist.") (which had been haider's election slogan in the 1994 election campaign), and the slogan on the three other posters was "we for you – therefore ⊗ fpö hc strache" ("wir für euch – deshalb ⊗ fpö hc strache"). the other slogans were rhymed and endeavoured to be witty, similar to the 2006 election campaign; one of them featured a prominent spelling mistake (""heisst"" instead of ""heißt""), which was corrected later in the day. the fpö officially started its election campaign on 29 august 2008 on the hauptplatz in linz; a second wave of posters was put up in early september, which consisted of one poster featuring strache before an austrian flag and two smaller triangle stand posters.
