Vote Romney

This country needs a president who has proven his skills to succeed and will focus on job training programs and giving educational choice to parents. Gov. (Mitt) Romney believes a choice for every parent equals a chance for every child, so he will give every family access to great schools and quality teachers; and will make sure our workers and children have the skills for the jobs of today and tomorrow by having access to job training programs and affordable and effective higher education options. Our current president has plenty of charm, Hollywood friends, as well as golf and basketball skills, but these things are not improving the job market. 

Gov. Romney will unleash our domestic energy resources and eliminate job-killing regulations, so we can finally get the energy we need at a price we can afford. Domestic energy production will bring over a million manufacturing jobs back to the United States. One of the first items Gov. Romney says he will approve is the Keystone XL pipeline, and he will eliminate regulations destroying the coal industry. Obama has made gas prices higher and uses our tax money to subsidize Brazil's oil drilling. 

We must have a president who will cut the deficit, reduce discretionary spending and consolidate agencies. It's simple — we need more jobs, less spending, and smaller government. Gov. Romney’s plan will immediately cut and cap federal spending, balance the budget, and root out bureaucratic inefficiencies. His plan also gives states responsibility for programs they can implement more effectively and efficiently. Pres. (Barack) Obama has doubled our debt and added more government employees. 

We need a president who is a champion for small business and will reform! health care and taxes. Small businesses are being strangled by excessive government regulations and taxes. Gov. Romney will make government the friend, not the enemy, of business. His plan reduces taxes on job creation through individual and corporate tax reform which is competitive and attractive for jobs to come back to America. This is what we need; not a president who says, “You didn't build that.” 

The United States of America needs a President who will stand up to and call out the unfair trade practices of countries like China and open new markets. A Romney/Ryan presidency will open new markets for American goods and services while stopping the unfair trade practices of countries like China who steal our jobs; and will work to strengthen free enterprise around the world.

Romney as president will give us the hope and change expected from the now failed Obama policies. Remember, Obama said if he couldn't turn the economy around by his first term, he should be a one term president. I agree.
