Working Background:
After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a Mormon

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 state 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. But, on the
minus side, 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 US.
