3. Saw it earlier perhaps? Document properties indicates Brian Wild??
http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/national-party-news/120593-gop-blueprint-bashes-special-interests-written-by-special-interests


The Republican’s new “Pledge for America,” the extended sequel to 1994’s “Contract With America” (anyone else wonder why it took them 16 years to produce a sequel?), attempts to separate Republicans in Congress from the special interests in Washington. Their document, they say, is “one in which the people have the most say and the best ideas trump the most entrenched interests.”

“Entrenched interests.” Ha.

Don’t look too closely at the digital paper trail of this document if you don’t appreciate entrenched interests; otherwise, you’d be shocked to learn that the document’s “author,” Brian Wild, is the epitome of a Washington “entrenched interest.”

Mr. Wild, until April of this year, was a registered lobbyist working for some of the most entrenched special interests in Washington. Now he’s on House Republican Leader John Boehner’s (Ohio) government payroll and responsible for the “Pledge.”

5. Well duh, the entire thing is just a marketing ploy anyway.

4. Who created it?
You know, for those of us who don't get MSNBC and therefore can't watch Rachel, and who are not inclined to go to the document and rick click it.
