MICHIGAN
TEA PARTY LEADERS ENDORSE MITT ROMNEY
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the support of Tea Party leaders in Michigan.
“In
my campaign, I have fought for the conservative principles of lower
spending, lower taxes and less government intrusion into our lives and
our businesses,” said Mitt Romney. “The Tea Party has been at the
frontline of this same fight. Along with the help of these Tea Party
leaders, we can defeat President Obama and finally get Washington out
of the way.”
Maribeth Schmidt, Co-Founder Of Rattle
With Us:
"As a mother of three and a Tea Party activist, my main concern is the
15 trillion dollar debt and I believe that Governor Romney has it right
when he says that he will look at every government program and ask two
questions: ‘Can we afford it?’ and if not, ‘Is it important enough to
borrow money from China for?’ His positions on the national debt, Right
to Work, domestic energy, and reducing the wages of government
employees to match the private sector are why I am supporting him in
Tuesday's primary."
Dennis Moore, Founder/Former
Director-Willow Run Tea Party Caucus:
“Leaders lead without putting a wetted finger in the air seeking
consensus. Mitt Romney will be a ‘Reaganesque’ president. I could not
in good conscience watch as the Tea Party invokes a litmus test that
Ronald Reagan himself would have failed. So I led by personally
endorsing Mitt Romney. This country needs Mitt Romney!”
Leisa Audette And Patty McMurray, Red
Heels On The Ground:
“We are two stay-at-home moms who are very active in the Tea Party and
grassroots movement in Michigan. We are dedicated to ensuring that our
children will have the same opportunities that our generation was
afforded. Unless the right candidate is elected in the upcoming
Presidential race, they will never have that privilege. We've burdened
them with a national debt and tax structure that only a serious
candidate with exceptional business experience and proven successes
will be able to turn around. We need a president that will not divide
us but instead, unite us with our common belief in American
exceptionalism. We believe that Mitt Romney is the only candidate who
has the ability to accomplish all of these things, because we feel that
he sincerely believes in the greatness of America!”
Rose Drouillard, Brighton Tea Party
Board Member:
“Prior to the Romney Tea Party event last night at Bakers in Milford, I
was vacillating between two candidates. After a day of careful
consideration of Gov. Romney's presentation, I am personally endorsing
Governor Mitt Romney for President because I believe he is the
candidate that has the best chance to defeat President Obama. If he
follows through with everything that he spoke about in his
presentation, our country will be able to change course and be the
exceptional nation we once were.”
Marco Lollio, Owner Of Marlo Trucking:
“Governor Romney addressed many of the concerns small businesses are
experiencing under the current administration. It would be a positive
change to have someone as President who knows what it takes to not only
create jobs but also keep the ones I have! His words strengthened my
belief that he understands that the next president’s top priority is
creating jobs!”
