BOB DOLE: KANSAS WOULD BE WELL-SERVED BY
MITT ROMNEY
Boston, MA – Former Kansas Senator Bob Dole made the following
statement on the upcoming caucuses in Kansas:
“I’ve
known Governor Romney for some time and Kansas would be well-served if
he wins in our state on Saturday. He is a man of high
standards. He
is a main street conservative and knowing the Congress as I do I
believe he will have great success in working with Republicans and
Democrats once he is inaugurated.
“It’s
also a time when Kansans have an opportunity to make a
difference.
Every delegate is important because of the timing of the Kansas
caucus. Governor Romney holds a lead after winning six states on
‘Super Tuesday.’ If Governor Romney can do well here, he’ll be much
closer to his goal. Do Kansas a favor in voting for the best
candidate
on Saturday, March 10. Thank you and give Governor Romney your
vote.”

SENATOR BOB
DOLE: “MITT ROMNEY IS THE KIND OF MAN THAT IOWANS SHOULD SUPPORT”
“A
number of my friends are currently candidates seeking the GOP
nomination. But the time has now come for us to decide who among them
can defeat Barack Obama in 2012. I’ve made my decision, and I believe
our best hope lies in Governor Mitt Romney.” – Senator Bob Dole

Open Letter To The Voters Of Iowa
December 18, 2011
Full Letter Below:
An Open Letter to the Voters of Iowa
On
January 3, the Iowa caucuses will gather and take a momentous first
step as the Republican Party begins the process of selecting a nominee
for the position of President of the United States.
A great deal is at stake.
In
the last few years, our beloved country has fallen on rough times. We
have now gone 34 months with unemployment over 8 percent, the longest
such stretch since the Great Depression. Nearly twenty-five million
Americans are unemployed, working part-time when they would like to
work full-time, or have simply quit looking.
Millions
of Americans have lost their homes to foreclosure. Around three out of
four Americans believe our nation is headed in the wrong direction. And
they are right; our nation is indeed headed in the wrong direction. We
need to turn it around.
A
number of my friends are currently candidates seeking the GOP
nomination. But the time has now come for us to decide who among them
can defeat Barack Obama in 2012. I’ve made my decision, and I believe
our best hope lies in Governor Mitt Romney.
I’ve
known Mitt and his family for decades. His parents instilled in him a
strong work ethic, rock-solid conservative values, and a deep sense of
service to others. These traits—which have shone through in both the
debates and my own visits with him—will serve him well in the White
House.
As
President, Mitt Romney will succeed in turning this country around. He
rescued a flailing Winter Olympics when it was mired in financial
scandal. He was an exceptional Governor of Massachusetts, who managed
to both balance the state’s budget and cut taxes while dealing with an
overwhelmingly Democratic state legislature.
Before
his time in public service, Mitt Romney spent his career in the private
sector, solving real problems in the real economy. He has helped to
start or turn around numerous Main Street businesses that you know,
like Sports Authority and Staples. He wasn’t just an investor. He got
his hands dirty, and one of the results was the creation of tens of
thousands of jobs. He has the experience and talent to get America back
on the right track.
Governor
Romney has already presented a bold, sweeping, and detailed proposal to
guide this turnaround. It is more than just a jobs plan. It is a
fundamental reorientation of the American economy on the basis of
conservative principles. It takes power from the federal government in
order to get Washington out of the way so that America can get back to
work.
The
nation can’t afford four more years of Barack Obama’s failed
leadership. We absolutely need to choose a nominee who can win next
November. I’ve run for President myself and twice I had the deep honor
of finishing first in the Iowa caucuses. I have many friends in the
state. Some of them even call me the President of Iowa. When I say that
Mitt Romney is the kind of man that Iowans should support, I know
whereof I speak.
And one last point: when it comes to agricultural policy, you can trust
Mitt—I do.
God Bless America,
Senator Bob Dole
