From here:
Jun 3, 2008
On May 8, 2008, Gov. Mitt Romney and his wife Ann were awarded the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty’s Canterbury Medal for “Courage in the Defense of Religious Liberty.” Mr. Romney’s 18-minute acceptance speech, before friends and supporters of the Becket Fund at the Metropolitan Club in New York, focused on the need for religion in a free society.
The Canterbury Medal is awarded annually to the public figure who “resolutely and publicly refused to render unto Caesar that which is God’s.” Past recipients include Nobel Peace Laureate Elie Wiesel, Mary Ann Glendon of Harvard Law School and current U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See and Charles Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries.

It’s so great to see him in action again!

Hearing him teach again makes my day. He was truly the better candidate. Anyone who sees this has to agree.

Thank you so much, another great Romney speech! Compare the ability level between this and Mccain’s speech last night. People made a major mistake, Mitt was our man for the White house. Will we ever be able to get over this terrible injustice to the Romney family? Eventually, maybe it’s time to write the RNC again. We want Mitt for VP! Pleassssssssse.

So powerful. One can feel his convictions through the computer screen.
I do agree with Romney; God will continue to bless our nation as long as we deserve it.
As individuals, we have a moral obligation to be the best we can be, so collectively, the United States of America can be worthy of the blessings we’ve been given and remain on the “eligibility list” for additional help as we navigate through these troubled times.
May God bless Mitt and Ann Romney.

If there were only a way for everyone to hear and understand. So sad. Perhaps someday after we hit the bottom and begin to look up and climb out. God bless the Romney family and all of us. - P
