I wanted to say a quick hello and introduce myself as a rookie blogger here at Elect Romney in 2008! I’m pleased and excited to jump in here and do my part to help Mitt’s run for the White House!
A bit about me: I’m 37, mother of 4 and wife of 1, living in snowy, cold, rural, beautiful, northern Nevada. I’m originally from Canada, have lived in the U.S. for several years, and just recently got my U.S. citizenship. What a great and humbling experience! I really feel at home in this incredible country! There is a spirit and a strength and a power here - a patriotism that is unlike any other.
I became a Romniac, Mitthead, Mitten about a year ago after Mitt made his announcement. I started coming to this blog shortly after and quickly became an addict, as I know many of you have (you might have seen me comment as Nevadagirl). The founder, the bloggers and, based on their comments, the readers, are all very impressive and articulate - it’s great to be part of this!
During the Nevada caucus, I had the chance to stand up and speak for 2 minutes on why I support Mitt. It felt great to vocalize to others the reasons why I feel Mitt is our best choice and hope. My challenge to you guys is to be prepared to do the same. With the upcoming importance of Feb. 5, many of you will have the opportunity to share with others why you support Mitt in your own state and in your own circle of influence. Here’s a short version of what I said:
I support Mitt because I’m looking for 2 things in a President. One - a conservative record and platform, someone that supports the 3 legs of the Reagan coalition - strong military, strong economy, and strong families. Two - someone who has a resume that shows he actually has the executive skills and personality to lead and accomplish his Presidential To-Do list. Mitt’s record in Massachusettes shows an ability to fight for conservative principles and policies in a highly liberal environment. He is one of only 2 true conservatives running. His experiences in the private sector and as CEO of the SLC Olympics unequivocally show that this is a man who understands what it takes to solve extremely difficult problems. No one else running comes close to his track record of success in this area.
Obviously the important thing is to say what works for you. Let us know about any great experiences you have had sharing your support of Mitt!
Here is a pic of Mitt at a rally in Orlando today.
