(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) House Republicans will head to a hardware store in Virginia tomorrow to unveil their Pledge to America, billed as a comprehensive set of reforms along the lines of Newt Gingrich's Contract With America in 1994. Democrats already say it's the same-old, same-old. Politico and the Wall Street Journal hit some highlights: To "repeal and replace" the health care reform law, though popular parts such as making it illegal to deny coverage over pre-existing conditions would stay. Prevent all of the Bush tax cuts from expiring. Freeze most hiring for the federal government. Give small businesses a tax break equal to 20% of their business income. Have weekly votes on the House floor to pick winners in the "YouCut" program, in which people make suggestions online. Cancel the spending of all remaining stimulus funds. Sample language: "Like free peoples of the past, our citizens refuse to accommodate a government that believes it can replace the will of the people with its own." (More House Republicans stories.)
