As most of you who know me, know I am an unapologetic Republican. I will be the first Republican to admit that our party is not always perfect and we have had our political disagreements internally, but the mission, philosophy and values of the party are the core of what makes America great.
If you are a Republican you have many choices for president; but only one choice will save America domestically and on the world stage. Mitt Romney is America’s best hope. Now you are probably saying this guy became a conservative overnight, learned the proper verbiage, and seems too clean to be real. That’s just wrong! Yes, Mitt seems to be different from his bids for the U.S. Senate in 1994 and the Massachusetts gubernatorial race. Looking deeper and doing some background research we see a different Mitt Romney. He wants to protect American jobs, lower taxes, preserve our military and engage in nation building, to name a few of his positions. However, did you know that Mitt Romney is the only candidate to make the following statement, “If elected president I will not accept the pay for this job, but rather I will give it to charity.” Romney may be wealthy, but this statement tells us about his ethical character and is a public servant who really cares about this country.
A great book that is objective about Romney, where these facts can be located, is Mitt Romney: The Man, His Values and His Vision by Lisa Ray Turner and Kimberly Field. When picking a candidate to vote for I hope you look to his or her ethical standards. Sit down and do some research on your candidate and then look to the other candidates running for office in 2008. You will see why Mitt Romney is America’s best hope. I will be proud to call Mr. Romney president and I hope you can cast a vote for him.
