This language about Newt Gingrich's support of a federal mandate to purchase health insurance at the top the
Health Care entry is incorrect and uses a citation that is incorrect. The quote provided (“I agree that all of us have a responsibility to pay - help pay for health care") does not mean Gingrich is for a federal mandate to purchase health insurance. Furthermore, Newt Gingrich has clearly stated in this video and statement posted on his campaign website that he is opposed to a federal mandate to purchase health insurance.
[1] I am asking that this sentence be removed because it is inacurate. --

A similar request: in the section
Entitlement reform section there is currently a sentence about Newt Gingrich's comments on Meet the Press involving the phrase "right wing social engineering." It currently states that Gingrich "condemned" the Ryan plan using this phrase. While this has been a viewpoint expressed in the media, Mr. Gingrich has discussed this several times since, and I hope that his explanation can be included. Here is a suggested alternative for this sentence:
Current sources 33 and 34, from the Washington Post and Politico, respectively, are fine. The source for Newt Gingrich's clarification is this May 18, 2011 interview transcript from On the Record with Greta Van Susteren. I hope that some version of the above can be incorporated in this sub-section. -- Joedesantis ( talk) 23:45, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

This article seems to dodge his positions on issues relating to homosexuals. I'm thinking that this might be an attempt to make him look better. I want to know his positions on same sex marriage and I feel like this page is hiding something. JohnnyRH ( talk) 22:45, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Why is there no mention of his social political believes? Like what does he think about gay marriage, abortion etc? This is important info that is missing. -- JDDJS ( talk) 23:34, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Newt's position on advance directives is worth mentioning. [1] [2] See also: death panel. Jesanj ( talk) 19:53, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
I replaced an inflammatory sentence in the middle of the same-sex marriage section. I tried to make it politically neutral, but the result is kind of clunky and lacks a source (although it is pretty common knowledge AFAIK) so clean-up (or removal? It doesn't seem to be of critical importance) would be appreciated. However, please avoid implying that this phrase is some kind of a "code word" unless you have a solid academic citation showing that Gingrich doesn't actually believe what he's saying. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.194.37.180 ( talk) 04:21, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
Hello, this is Joe DeSantis, the communications director for Newt Gingrich's presidential campaign. The purpose of this note is to request a change in the section now called Marbury v. Madison. Right now, it states:
However, this is not an accurate summary of his views. The current sentence is sourced to an article from The Hill, which has misleadingly paraphrased Mr. Gingrich. The reporter writes that "Gingrich’s position represents, in effect, a direct challenge to the interpretation of Marbury v. Madison" -- but nowhere in the piece is Mr. Gingrich quoted as saying that. This is simply the reporter's misinterpretation.
A fuller and more accurate quotation is found in a Capital New York article, which clarifies that Gingrich's argument is specifically about judicial overreach during and since the Warren Court:
Newt Gingrich's actual position on the matter is further explained in a white paper available on Newt.org and in a USA Today op-ed this week. In these he clearly questions the concept of "judicial supremacy" in which the Court assumes a disproportionate weight in the checks-and-balance system. His argument is that the Cooper v. Aaron decision misinterprets Marbury's principle of judicial review to mean something it is not.
And he is not alone in making this argument. Stanford law professor Larry D. Kramer has also written:
I suggest the current "Marbury v. Madison" section retitled and replaced as follows:
If there are any questions about this topic, I can help clarify further. Thanks, Joedesantis ( talk) 17:44, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't this page at least mention some of his 2012 positions like the flat tax that he wants? 99.148.24.214 ( talk) 22:40, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Blanket tags like this are not helpful. Unless more specific concerns can be spelled out here, this tag should be removed.-- RadioFan ( talk) 00:04, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Joe DeSantis, the communications director for Newt's campaign. If I may, I'd like to offer a suggestion to bring this article up to date on Newt's energy policies. Based on recent press, I have put together the following for adding to the "Energy policy" section:
Here is the markup code:
I do not wish to add this to the article myself, but would ask for other editors to consider including this material. If there are any questions about the material or the policy in general, I can help to clarify. Thanks, Joe DeSantis Communications Director, Gingrich 2012 ( talk) 13:11, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

In the last few days a new section on Iran has been added to the article, which contains biased or misleading wording and material not included in sources.
I suggest that the wording relating to regime change be amended to provide a more accurate summary based on these reports.
I would like to ask editors to consider rewording this section to improve its neutrality, and provide a more accurate summary of Newt's position on Iran. Thanks, Joe DeSantis Communications Director, Gingrich 2012 ( talk) 00:20, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
