April 7, Wednesday Newt Gingrich is well-known as the architect of the â¬SContract with Americaâ¬ý that led the Republican Party to victory in 1994 by capturing the majority in the U.S. House for the first time in 40 years. After he was elected Speaker, he disrupted the status quo by moving power out of Washington and back to the American people. Under his leadership, Congress passed welfare reform, passed the first balanced budget in a generation and passed the first tax cut in 16 years. In addition, the Congress restored funding to strengthen U.S. defense and intelligence capabilities, an action later lauded by the bipartisan 9/11 Commission. As an author, Gingrich has published 19 books including 10 fiction and non-fiction New York Times best-sellers. Non-fiction books include his latest, 5 Principles for a Successful Life: From Our Family to Yours, which was co-authored with his daughter, Jackie Cushman Gingrich, Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less, Real Change, A Contract with the Earth, Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America, To Renew America, Lessons Learned the Hard Way, Saving Lives & Saving Money, Window of Opportunity, The Art of Transformation and Rediscovering God in America. He is also the author of these fiction books: Gettysburg, Grant Comes East, Never Call Retreat: Lee and Grant the Final Victory, 1945, Pearl Harbor, A Novel of December the 8 and his latest, Days of Infamy. All of these novels are active history studies in the lessons of warfare based on fictional accounts of historical wartime battles and their aftermaths. Gingrich and his wife, Callista, host and produce documentaries. Recent films include Ronald Reagan: Rendezvous with Destiny, We Have the Power and Rediscovering God in America.
