7/9/2012 9:36:21 AM IN MY INBOX... Subject: His full Name is: Written by a journalist for the Florida Times Union Newspaper. Sandy Strickland Reporter The Florida Times-Union 359-4128 sandy.strickland@jacksonville.com His full Name is: Willard Mitt Romney He was Born: March 12, 1947 and is 65 years old. His Father: George W. Romney, former Governor of the State of Michigan He was raised in Bloomfield Hills , Michigan He is Married to Ann Romney since 1969; they five children. Education: B.A. from Brigham Young University, J.D. and M.B.A. from Harvard University Religion: Mormon - The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints Working Background: After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a Mormon missionary. After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar exam, but never worked as an attorney. In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity investment firm, one of the largest such firms in the United States . In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost to Ted Kennedy. He was President and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit. Some Interesting Facts about Romney: Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people. Bain Capital also worked to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others. He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year. He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's office for eight years. He was an unpaid bishop and stake president of his church for ten years. He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee for three years. He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four years. He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity. Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest self-made men in our country but has given more back to its citizens in terms of money, service and time than most men. And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income.... Just for comparison purposes, Obama gave 1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%. Mitt Romney is Trustworthy: He will show us his birth certificate He will show us his high school and college transcripts. He will show us his social security card. He will show us his law degree. He will show us his draft notice. He will show us his medical records. He will show us his income tax records. He will show us he has nothing to hide. Mitt Romney's background, experience and trustworthiness show him to be a great leader and an excellent citizen for President of the United States. You may think that Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans could have selected. At least I know what religion he is, and that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal irresponsibility. I know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the current regime has gotten us into. We won't like all the things necessary to recover from this debt, but someone with Romney's background can do it. He never was a "Community Organizer", never took drugs or smoked pot, never got drunk, did not associate with communists or terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose pastor called for God to damn the U.S. |

7/10/2012 12:04:38 PM IN MY INBOX... Quite a difference between candidates. A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable" or that he doesn't "relate" well to people. We struggled to understand why... he is after all drop dead handsome, has a beautiful wife... isn't that enough to ensure popularity for most Americans? So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten list to explain this unlikability. Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney 1. Successful, self-made businessman. (Dad didn't give him a hand-out... he and Ann had to make it on their own) 2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been FAITHFUL to her. 3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?) 4. Can't speak in a fake southern black preacher voice when necessary. 5. Knows the real meaning of giving service to his fellow man and quietly shows it in his everyday life. 6. Has pots of money (made it all himself) and since nobody else in this country has any desire to have pots of money... we don't like him!!! 7. Has a family of great boys... none of them are in drug rehab. 8. Doesn't smoke (even in secret), drink alcohol, or do drugs (not even in college, where other people were NOT inhaling) 9. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS! (We can't relate to such an anachronism!) 10. Oh yes... he's a MORMON. The religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, honest, upright and MORAL! And one more point... pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money ALL BY HIMSELF... as opposed to marrying it (as in John Kerry) or inheriting it from Dad (as in Jack, Robert & Ted Kennedy.) We didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you unrelatable to Americans. Strange. In God We Trust |

7/10/2012 10:18:27 PM The 2 parties only give the appearance of being different..on things that really matter they all vote the same. Their only purpose is to divided us and keep the fat cats in charge. Bush ran the same platform as Romney and what did we get.. Obama ran on cutting spending and creating jobs... what did we get? So you see brother it matters not who wins, it will be more of the same.. tax spend, bail out banks, never ending war, more rights taken away in the name of security... Well you might have Mit gut more of Nixons EPA and roll us back to the 50s again... The real issue is how we are all slaves to the finical system and the money being dumped into these elections that keep it all running. They wouldnt even let Ralph Nader into the debates... Would love to see a Paul Nader ticket. Would love to see Paul some how steal the nomination... its some how mathematically possible. Like our friend said its a Big Club and you ant in it... |

7/30/2012 1:02:04 PM In my inbox... Make this YOUR business! Did you notice who Obama Threatened? It's incredible that 42% of Americans think that this unqualified, incompetent, dishonorable, ego-driven fraud is doing a good job. Take a moment. Admit it to yourself. You know who his supporters are. From now thru November 2012 this should be required weekly or at least monthly reading BY ALL WHO VOTE!!! Did you notice who Obama threatened when he wasn't getting his way on raising the debt ceiling? He threatened to not pay: - Social Security Retirees, Military Retirees, Social Security Disability and Federal Retirees.- - Now … let this sink in really good - - He did not threaten to stop payments to illegal aliens - He did not threatened to take frivolous benefits such as Internet access away from violent inmates - He did not offer to fire some of the thousands of unnecessary federal employees that he hired - He did not offer to cut down on his or his wife's frivolous gallivanting around - He did not threaten to not pay the senators and representatives or any of their staff - He did not threaten to take benefits away from welfare recipients - He did not threaten the food stamp programs - He did not threaten to not pay foreign aid - He did not threaten to cut back on anything that involves his base voters - The list could go on and on. He is in full political re-election mode! • Why are we allowing this person to destroy this wonderful country with his selfishness and his lies? Have WE lost our blooming minds!!!!!!!! • His type of change is killing our country. He needs to be stopped and only our votes can stop him. • Do not forget about his tactics when it's election time. Vote Obama out of the Presidency in 2012. LET'S MAKE 2012 - THE END OF AN ERROR! We the people are coming Only 86% will send this on. Should be a 100%. What will you do? |
