Winning Our Future
The 2012 presidential campaign of Newt Gingrich, former U.S. Representative of Georgia and Speaker of the House, was formally launched on May 11, 2011, through a video posted on Facebook and YouTube, following the establishment of an exploratory committee on March 3 and speculation about a potential run for the office. Gingrich gained national prominence during the 1994 midterm elections due to his efforts to unify the Republican Party's campaigns under a single platform, dubbed the " Contract with America." The elections led to the Republican Party controlling both chambers of Congress. Gingrich was subsequently elected as Speaker, holding the office until his resignation from the House at the beginning of the 106th Congress's term in 1999.

A newt is a salamander in the subfamily Pleurodelinae. The terrestrial juvenile phase is called an eft. Unlike other members of the family Salamandridae, newts are semiaquatic, alternating between aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Not all aquatic salamanders are considered newts, however. More than 100 known species of newts are found in North America, Europe, North Africa and Asia. Newts metamorphose through three distinct developmental life stages: aquatic larva, terrestrial juvenile (eft), and adult. Adult newts have lizard-like bodies and return to the water every year to breed, otherwise living in humid, cover-rich land habitats. Newts are threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation and pollution. Several species are endangered, and at least one species, the Yunnan lake newt, has become extinct recently. Etymology The Old English name of the animal was , (of unknown origin), resulting in Middle English ; this word was transformed irregularly into , , or . The initial ...
