Their help will be essential to spreading this message so we can turn around our struggling economy.”
 
“I am pleased to join with Mitt Romney to help get our country back on track,” said Georgia State Finance Chair Eric Tanenblatt. “America has had enough of the broken promises and failed record of the Obama administration.
