1/31/2007 Bopp Another Conservative!The pre-loaded Romney Runnin Campaign has landed another pro-life verifier. A key endorsement of RNC member James Bopp, Jr., who is known for the long-time counsel for National Right to Life and other social consevative groups in the United States. Bopp has argued four times before the Supreme Court on issues facing the family in society and is well known for this conservative activism and outgoing attitude. He will be Romney's "Special Adviser on Life Issues." His endorsement speaks for itself in the conservative credentials of Mitt. Bopp spearheaded a resolution at the recent RNC winter meeting designed to poke Sen. John McCain in the eye: it repudiated his signature campaign finance legislation. 1/30/2007 Romney Has Turned the Corner! Apparently, the Christian Broadcasting Network thinks Mitt's religion has taken a new turn and has turned the corner regarding the religious test for conservatives. Although that is not over however, a new corner has been turned. Feel free to read the linked article above. 1/29/2007 On the road Again! As time is moving on, Mitt Romney's presence is moving forward with key endorsements and speeches with lots of miles in between. He has been traveling to South Carolina, Iowa, New Hampshire, and everywhere between while key endorsements are surfacing one by one. As they say, by the small and individual steps does the long and crazy journey become a reality. Amazingly, his momentum continues to move forward as he is invited to speak at national conferences, on national television and media networks as well as attract media attention everywhere he goes. 1/27/2007 MR08' Will Anounce More I must have missed this but Romney announced some 16 names of supporters that have endorsed him. You can check it out here. And early next week, on Monday and Tuesday, January 29-30, Governor Mitt Romney and his son, Tagg Romney, will travel to South Carolina. Governor Romney will deliver the Keynote Address at the Aiken Rotary Club in Aiken, SC. The Romneys will travel South Carolina and then hold a press conference to announce more key endorsements from leaders in that area. 1/26/2007 John McCain, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani Top GOP I know this is a little late but it needed to be added. CBS some weeks back posted on their website that John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Rudy Giuliani ARE the heavyweights in the GOP field going into 2007. Recently, in a joust to all three in one shot, the Majic City Morning Star took a shot at all 3. Talk about efficiency, 3 birds hit in one shot! In Montana, that's called "Shotgunin". Anyhow, it's kind of interesting how somehow the article put a laso around all three as liberals. You'll have to check it out for yourself. In other news, in one GOP Straw Poll, MR08'(Romney) lead with over 12,000 votes in, the latest GOP Bloggers 2008 Straw Poll of GOP contenders shows Romney as both the number one 'first choice' of bloggers and blog readers and the 'most acceptable candidate.' As it is still early to really make assumptions, it does show that there is interest online from bloggers and readers in favor of him. However, in other polls, he trails in a close third at Pajamasmedia Straw Poll 2008. For future note: On Monday Jan. 29 2007, The National Review will issue an article entitled, "Join the Club: Mitt Romney and Pro-Life Conversion" by Kate O'Beirne. I'll try to add a link (if I don't forget) to it when it comes. Until then, here's a sentence or two to chap your lips. "Romney has been stating his abortion position with the conviction of a convert, in terms that can appeal to a broad audience. Many social conservatives are persuaded that his conversion is genuine." 1/24/2007 A Look at Mitt This is an article that takes a look at Mitt and his ability to communicate as a national leader which while taking a look at his abilities and potential. The following is an excerpt taken from the Riehl World View. "While too early for me to come out for a particular Republican Presidential candidate, my instincts have been piquing my interest in Mitt Romney, so I wanted to set time aside to review an Instapundit podcast featuring Romney. Additionally, other materials recently came bloggers way via the Romney team. I looked them over, too. Like many on the Right, I sincerely believe that when basically conservative and some libertarian principles and political ideas are communicated effectively to the American people, they win the day. I'd apply the same reasoning to at least a portion of why our effort in Iraq has suffered in terms of its support from the American people. Consequently, a candidate who understands communication and is effective at it is a significant part of how I intend to finally make the choice of which candidate to support." Hoekstra Joins Team Mitt The following News Release was issued today. "Boston, MA - Today, Governor Mitt Romney announced that U.S. Representative Pete Hoekstra (R-MI), the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, will be joining the Romney for President Exploratory Committee. Representative Hoekstra will serve as Governor Romney's adviser on all matters pertaining to U.S. intelligence. Governor Romney also named Representative Hoekstra as a Co-Chair of his Michigan state organization helping to organize areas of Western Michigan." The rest of the article can be found at his Exploratory Committee website if interested. 1/23/2007 Hastert endorses Romney Add another one to the "Romney Run" of supporters. Former US House Speaker Dennis Hastert, of Illinois announced his support for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a continued sign that Romney is building credibility in Washington. Hastert is probably the most prominent current member of Congress to announce his support for Romney Mitt Romney's great trek A large bias against a Mormon for president is the next barrier to fall in US politics. The Christian Science Monitor's View-Click Here for the link. Here's part of it. At first, it sounds like a bad joke: What if a woman, a black, and a Mormon ran for president? Yet with Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Mitt Romney running for the White House, this welcome burst of diversity in US presidential candidates is no joke. Each of these politicians comes with enough experience, patriotism, and popular support to be taken seriously for the 2008 contest. Yet polls show a number of Americans still hold some prejudice against them simply for their sex, race, or religion. Yahoo News Yahoo News brings up an interesting article about American voters and who they say should be the president. They endorse the spirit of our very own constitution, which states that there should be no religious test for public office. The following is part of the article from Yahoo News. This is not an endorsement of Romney - we leave it to the voters to decide whether he deserves to be president. Rather, we endorse the spirit of Article VI in the Constitution, which states that there should be no religious test for public office. Kennedy captured that spirit well in 1960 when he said: "While this year it may be a Catholic against whom the finger of suspicion is pointed, in other years it has been - and may someday be again - a Jew, or a Quaker, or a Unitarian, or a Baptist." For latest info, feel free to tap into the Mitt Romney Exploratory Committee which has released several new excerpt videos of his address in Israel today at www.mittromney.com. or visit a blog in support of Romney for the GOP Primary Nomination at Reason 4 Romney-Blog ---As a side note, the President of the United States of America will address the nation in his "State of the Union Address" tonight. As one is sure, President Bush will respond to the Iraq situation and proposals in the future of the rebuilding of Iraq but also our issues we face here at home in the United States of America. 1/13/2007 Pass Me DeMints Please! :-)South Carolina's Senior Senator DeMint endorsed Mitt Romney for the 2008 South Carolina Republican party. He officially joined on with the Mitt Romney campaign as a Senior Advisor. To listen to DeMint’s interview on the Ralph Bristol radio show explaining his endorsement, click here. Here is something to think about for Montana conservatives in politics regarding Mitt Romneys abilities and what some people think about his chances I've posted part of it below. From the final results of his $7 million dollar one-day fundraiser, it will be interesting to see him through the primaries of which their is a new primary debate coming up in April in New Hampshire. It will be hosted by CNN and WMUR. John R Says: January 13th, 2007 at 10:15 am LJ, I have witnessed two Romney campaigns here in Mass. and this guys problem is not electability. He is brilliant in debates, is a great communicator on the campaign trail, and his opponent’s attacks just don't stick because any honest observer realizes Romney is such a decent man. There are about ten conservatives in Mass. but Romney won with well over 50% of the vote. He reminds me of Reagan in so many ways - a sense of humor which he never loses, one of the better speech-givers out there, he even kinda looks like Ronny. Even when he began to campaign for pres. here in Mass. his approval rating stayed above 40%. Polls are significant at this stage, but I would not go overboard on a guy who is unknown and is probably known as the Mormon guy to those who do not live in New England or are political buffs. You ask how he can win states trending blue when he won in Mass.! Sure, he was pro-choice at the time but everyone knew he was a conservative and voted for him anyway, it was unbelievable! One who contributes to this site is a conservative by the name of HeavyM. HeavyM is a 27 year old who hails from Wyoming, the second-most conservative state in the country based on recent Presidential election results. He became interested in politics during the 2000 election while in college and ended up sorting out his personal beliefs to the point where he voted for George W. Bush - and did the same more enthusiastically in 2004, though he is a lot less enamored with Bush now. 1/11/2007 Dear Friends, This morning, Evangelicals for Mitt has released two important documents responding to the misleading attacks against Governor Romney by MassResistance and others. We’re hoping to get this information posted on as many pro-Mitt blogs as possible TODAY. Here is the link to the information: EFM RELEASES TWO IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS Please consider prominently posting this response on your blog as soon as you can so the truth about Mitt will be known! Thanks so much, Nathan Burd Founder, www.americansformitt.com Contributor, www.evangelicalsformitt.org 1/10/2007 Mitt TV is a new media idea and publicity for his election campaign in 2008. For articles and up-to-date news, stories and etc; check out the newly formed Mitt TV. It's impressive and there are some new stuff, videos, and fun stuff on this website. It's also one of many ways to get to know him a little better. 1/9/2007 The day after Romney's fundraiser and there are too many articles to reference so here's one. Enjoy Funds Flood in for Romney. 1/8/2007 ---- $6.5 Million Raised! ----- Today, Mitt Romney's Presidential Exploratory Committee raised $6.5 million dollars today in a record fundraiser completed by phone. The goal today was to reach $1 million (and tomorrow is expected to be the same, I think). Can you feel the excitement? I hope so. I don't have much time but wanted to post this for all to know where to go for the excitement. There are a lot of new technology ideas for this upcoming presidential election in 08' and these are but a few of what he has to offer along with telethons, live blogging, Internet Mitt TV programing, and it's open to those who want to attend.

Washington Post article on forming an exploratory committee . CBS News on papers filling . This is why conservatives should support Mitt Romney. He went through the correct legislation to move the ban on Marriage in Massachusetts forward and stood up for traditional values. Although it's up to the legislators to vote, it's important to note that he reminded them of their responsibility in dealing with issues of the people. New York Times article of Mass. vote on gay marriage ban. 12/28/2006 Some past articles that might be of interest. Two in Montana. Some Year End thoughts of Mitt Romney Mitt Romney On The Blogs And New Media Interview with Mitt Romney on Human Events Romney Set for Presidential Announcement Will Christians back a Mormon Candidate? These are the only one's I found in a limited time in Montana so if you have an article or website that is recent that is also respectful, noteworthy, or in favor of Romney, send them to me for I won't have time to be looking in all the sites. Also, if you would like to jump online and help in this website, let me know. Thanks, Take care 12/27/2006 Brace yourself for the worst is still to come. Here's an example. Dear Mitt Romney Supporters/Bloggers, I'm sure you are all aware of MassResistance, the group that recently distributed a "report" entitled "The Mitt Romney Deception." The purpose of their report is to discourage conservative voters from supporting Governor Romney's expected presidential campaign and, needless to say, it is filled with distortions. It deals primarily with the issues of abortion and gay rights/marriage. It has been distributed widely among conservative circles and has even generated media attention. On January 2, Evangelicals for Mitt will post a detailed response to MassResistance that will set the record straight. We're hoping that all of the "for Mitt/for Romney" blogs and websites will feature a prominent link to the post and publicize the response as much as possible. Will you help us spread the word and defend Governor Romney from these misleading attacks? Thanks, Americans for Mitt****Inserted Note and Link: MITT ROMNEY "CHOSE" GAY MARRIAGE? The author David French is qualified to write this piece for Evangelicals for Mitt. 12/26/2006-Night After Christmas Twas the night after Christmas and all through the house, not a child was crying, you could have heard a mouse! With holiday cheer and a future New Year, makes me think of Mitt and what Montanans will get. With Rudolph eyeing his past and McCain trying not to crash, makes Romney's critics frown, and try to bring him down. With nothing to lose, from work to personality, brings his mormon faith into modern reality. So off to the races, and out the gate, "Who will be Montana's Pick in 2008?" Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and may the next year be as exciting and challenging as this last year, but in regards to Our Man Mitt; No matter what, there's a future ahead. It is this time of season that we take a moment to reflect, analyze and look to the future. That is what Mitt is doing this season (as well as spending time with family) as well as contemplating his contribution to the future of our country and world. For that, my friends, is a noble way to think! May we all take that example and learn. Doing good presently for a future tomorrow, will make us feel better when we look to the past. Let's give him the support he needs in making this country and state of Montana a better place! Our very own “Montana’s For Mitt Romney-Website” has been nationally linked to over the holidays; recognized, quoted, and referenced by other national websites that are in support for Mitt Romney. One of the articles was even referenced in a 12/22/06 posting about a “New Montana Website” at blog.electromneyin2008.com . This is considered the number one website for Romney supporters in that Mitt Romney’s wife founded the site. The other one was in an email regarding the website from “Americans for Mitt” which recognized the site as a grassroots appearance. I posted over a week ago about referencing other Montana websites who talk and reference Mitt Romney and his expected presidential run. It has been brought to my attention of an article regarding Who will be Montana’s Pick in 2008? which sparked the idea of the previous poem. It’s at this time that I think it’s appropriate to ask for those who would like to start posting material on this website and referencing articles about mitt in Montana and surrounding areas. If you are a strong supporter of Romney and would like to add postings to this website, email jondmcniven@yahoo.com. I will continue to post what I can but invite others to help in this project and cause for I am busy attending school fulltime and my time is very limited even though I like supporting Romney for America's President in 2008. Until then, continue to tap into the main blogs/webpages in my initial posting. Take Care,12/16/2006 I've wondered in the past how a republican like Romney has been able to get elected in a very liberal state like Massachusetts. I'm impressed by what he has done and the manner in which he carries himself. Another thing that has come to my attention is the fact that he was able to pass a bill into law requiring all citizens in his state to have health insurance. I wonder if that is possible in Montana. What do you think? However, I'm optimistic that the name Mitt Romney will be reaching the news in Montana since over the last couple of months I've seen him in the news, on tv, and read about his potential. It has recently been announced that a rumor about a date of announcing his candidacy will be January 8, 2007! If and when he announces this, I'll definitely put it on the webpage. In addition, it has been highly mentioned by well known names in broadcasting programs that Mitt is the "Alternate to John McCain". Only time will tell so be watching for news articles and anything from Montana that would be relevant. If and when that is the case, please let me know so that I can start referencing articles and linking to these articles that are being generated out of the Big Sky Country of Montana.
Until then, continue to tap into these websites which are very active and up-to-date on the most current events.
Elect Romney for President in 2008 Blog.
11/29/2006 Montana is not known for major national politics but as some say, "What comes easily, will go just as easily". I don't think this is the case for Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney who seems to be gaining speed in the public eye for a number of reasons for a potential 2008 White House Run. I've read recently in the last couple of months about Governor Romney and the knit-picky things that are being published about this guy. In fact, I've come to realize that a number of the articles have stooped so low to start targeting him "below the belt" as they might say. I've got two thoughts that come to my mind in regards to these articles: 1. It sure must be a slow day in regards to publishing!!! OR Although he is surfacing quickly in the national spotlight; his depth and name recognition are because of what he has done in the past starting from scratch and making it big over time and business mentality. In fact, at this point for Romney in gaining any national recognition, I would venture out on a limb to say that he's just pleased to be having articles generated about him at this point, especially since at this time he hasn't even declared his run for the white house! So as to Montana, will anyone in the Big Sky Country be picking up on this family man and write an article about him for starters? I have a "hunch" he's not going anywhere even though he has surfaced quickly and continues to hit the national stage with name recognition. 9/08/2006-***Initial Posting*** I invite you to join with me in my efforts to encourage Mitt Romney (Gov. of Massachusetts) to declare his candidacy (hopefully in January of 2007) for President of the United States in 2008. The Commonwealth PAC is an organization that is prepared to support him in addition to www.runmittrun.org. Feel free to read more on either website and contribute as neccessary. I feel his greatest challenge will be getting through the primaries and getting his name out there among individuals. I'm impressed by what he has done previously, presently, and his vision in the future of our country and abroad. I've seen this man in action, whether in the U.S. 2002 Winter Olympics, as Govenor of Massachusetts, as a family man, business man, man of faith, and leader; I feel he will be the best man for the job. I invite you to be active in the organizations in your own localities by signing up for emails, volunteering, contributing, sharing with others, or just showing support when he comes near your own cities. Remember, this position is an elected position and nothing will get accomplished unless we as the citizens of the United States are actively engaged and support those whom we decide to support while moving forward in our own lives. Although I'm very busy in school right now, I had fun starting this webpage that could inform the masses about where to go for Republican issues and support Mitt for American President in 2008. If there's enough interest, I'd like to start a blog but that won't happen until I get time (probably never), so until then tap into the others right now. Cheers Oh, according to my sources, this is what impresses me most about this guy, "Speaking of money, it should be noted that Romney has served as governor without taking a salary to encourage the spirit of volunteerism and out of his desire to give something back." For news about Mitt Romney, click Here For links to Romney Mania, click Here Montana Republican Party, click Here For Run Mitt Run, click Here OK, if you've got time, the following is one of the longest articles I think I've ever read by a reporter (believe me, it's 5 internet pages long). It says it all and has so much info I didn't know about this guy. It's entitled "The Holy Cow Candidate" (written in September 2005). The Alternate to McCain Surprising, because it's from a Boston newspaper. (see below) Boston Newspapers Powerpoint about Mitt ![]() |
