ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES REAGANITES
FOR ROMNEY
Boston, MA –
Romney for President today announced the first wave of Reaganites for
Romney, a group of officials and leaders who served in the Reagan
Administration and in various political roles during the Reagan
Administration. Ambassador Jerry Carmen will serve as Chairman of
Reaganites for Romney.
“These
individuals were part of a movement that changed America and the rest
of the world,” said Mitt Romney. “The smaller government policies of
the Reagan era helped turn around a struggling economy and create
millions of jobs. And the strong defense of freedom around the world
led to the crumbling of empires and dictatorships. I am proud to
announce this group of conservative leaders – with their help we can
recreate the robust job creation of the Reagan years.”
Announcing
Reaganites for Romney, Ambassador Jerry Carmen said, “Supporters of
Ronald Reagan are supporting Mitt Romney because he is the best chance
conservatives have to return to the prosperous Reagan years. His
economic plan will unleash job-creation in the private sector, his
trade policies will open markets around the world, and he will stand up
to countries that have pledged to destroy our allies. Mitt Romney will
restore faith in our country in much the same way Ronald Reagan did
thirty years ago.”
