Gwinnett’s senior congressman will have a hand in deciding the Republican agenda when the U.S. House of Representatives go back into session next month.
U.S. Rep. John Linder said he wants to help set a new agenda for the GOP, something that hasn’t happened since 1994’s Contract with America.
The new contract, he said, would include his FairTax proposal, which would abolish the Internal Revenue Service and replace the income tax code with a national sales tax.
After this year’s sweep of Congress by Democrats, Linder said he doesn’t want to wait for the 2008 presidential candidate to be chosen before the party’s new direction is formed.
