Real Reasons Mitt Romney Deserves Good Press
As a Christian I believe character counts and I believe the Savior counts charity as being very important as told in scripture--here are some great things about presidential candidate Mitt Romney for better or for worse...
*Romney donates 14% of his income annually to charity
*He donated his CEO salary for turning around the 2002 Olympics to charity
*He donated his inheritance to charity
*He served for more than 10 years as a layman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (no pay)
*He served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for two years on his or his father's own dime (no pay)
*He served as a governor for four years (no pay)
*He shut down his business and flew his volunteer employees out to search and rescue his partner's daughter in NYC after she attended a rave and ended up missing--she was found after a call in to the rescue effort asking about a reward led the police to her location
*He gave his pocket cash, $50, to a woman in need on the campaign trail and called over his campaign chairs to help her out during the middle of campaigning
*He calls his rivals (both of whom have attacked his personal integrity) by kind terms. Gingrich + wife he calls each "a friend" and Santorum he calls "a good guy"
*Despite having earned enough money to last a lifetime no matter how many Cadillacs he needs he is determined to serve and turn around the economy for other Americans
*He promotes belief in the United States of America as the greatest nation in the world
*He has been married faithfully to the same woman for more than 42 years and helped her raise a family of sons (all married and educated)

Charity As It Can Be Found Around
I am concerned with the world as it is. And, still, I've seen and witnessed some great acts of kindness and charity in the news and locally each day. As I hope and believe that charity is the greatest thing out there and that compassion is one of the most desirable traits in a wife I would love to share some of these AWESOME stories with you. According to the scriptures "charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever" (Moroni 7:47).
"Nothing you do makes much of a difference if you do not have charity. You can speak with tongues, have the gift of prophecy, understand all mysteries, and possess all knowledge; even if you have the faith to move mountains, without charity it won't profit you at all....
"Without charity—or the pure love of Christ—whatever else we accomplish matters little. With it, all else becomes vibrant and alive.
"When we inspire and teach others to fill their hearts with love, obedience flows from the inside out in voluntary acts of self-sacrifice and service" (Elder Joseph B Wirthlin, Ensign, Nov 2007, 28–31).

In my own community I am aware of a recently divorced man who visited with and cried with another man who also recently divorced and encouraged him to move forward.
I know a recently homeless man--he's a vegan and confused about religion and its role. He's had a hard life and one of the members of my ward welcomed him into his home for a week.
In Las Vegas I know of a couple families who received help from church members paying to turn on their lights and helping them visit the doctor's office.
My own mother helps teach a child to read during evenings at home. I read his carefully written thank you card and it was AMAZING. He called her one of his favorite people and thanked her and mentioned how fun it was to be with her. She really is fun to be around! I am not kidding.
My wife's charity is radiating and splendid. Everyone at work likes her. Our home teachers and friends all like her. My Meservy family reminds me often that I lucked out with her--she plans and humbly asks my opinion, she sweetly gives my kisses whenever I need them, she always helps me get up and get going in the morning--very patiently, she dreams of a future family and a glorious existence somewhere in the distance. She even allows me to spend or donate money when I feel things are important. It is a beautiful thing to see our love grow and our mutual respect develop.

THREE CANDIDATES
In 2012 I am thrilled to be voting for a President of The United States of America. For some weeks I've pondered and debated individually, amongst friends and family, and in prayer who to support as well as how to support them (and talk about them). How wonderful an array of choices we have at this time. In fact, I am deeply impressed by how exciting our options are.
1. We can elect the obvious heavy hitter--Mitt Romney. He is a man who is an obvious poster child for success. His choices have sent him right to the top of his career, political fields, and family and religious life. Moreover, he not only looks good but is an established world class expert in turning around deficits. His plan for the economy is already published with charts and numbers.
2. We can re-elect the most politically correct president in the history of the USA--Barack Obama. He is a man who is not only African American but the son of an immigrant (who returned to Africa). He has devoted his policies to ensuring coverage in the most broad sense in health care, mortgaging, etc and has repeatedly leaned toward helping minority groups. He has placed minority leaders in the Supreme Court and has removed multiple distinctions between marriage and "same-sex marriage".
3. We can elect the total wild card--Rick Santorum. He is a man with recent immigrant roots who has virtually no track record of working on an economy from a leadership seat. He is still very young and has not held any leadership positions outside of being a voice in congress. And, although his bill record points to raising debt ceilings and earmarks, we cannot be sure what he would do. He has opposed Pres. Obama's plans and has claimed to be the "most conservative" (something very difficult to pinpoint). And, to reiterate, we just don't have much of a record to go off of on him--would he know what to do, who to work with, and how to accomplish this?
I'm also adding something my dear wife found and showed me which I think helps strengthen the case for Mitt Romney as my choice.

JUXTAPOSING MITT ROMNEY & NEWT GINGRICH
1. EDUCATION
Newt Gingrich has a MA (Master's) and a PhD (Doctorate) in modern European history from Tulane University (LA). His dissertation was entitled "Belgian Education Policy in the Congo: 1945–1960".
Mitt Romney has a JD (Doctor of Law) and an MBA (Masters in Business) from Harvard University. He earned both degrees simultaneously and graduated in the top 5% of his class. He was also valedictorian of BYU after first gaining entrance to Stanford University.
OPINION: The guy with the better grades and education based in law and business will be more helpful to America than the guy with degrees in European history and a focus on Belgium's influence in the Congo.
2. MAJOR LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
Newt Gingrich was made the US Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1995-1999. Prior to that he spent six years as the House Minority Whip. In 1997 several House Republicans attempted to remove him as Speaker claiming his public image was a liability--their plan was give him an ultimatum to resign or be voted out. In 1998 he faced another rebellion in the house and agreed to step down from both the position of Speaker as well as a member of the House. He had made the following comment only 1 day after being reelected "I'm willing to lead but I'm not willing to preside over people who are cannibals. My only fear would be that if I tried to stay, it would just overshadow whoever my successor is." He left office in 1999, about two years after he had been charged with ethics charges on 84 accounts. That event, 15 years ago yesterday, was a first for any Speaker of the House in the history of America. Approximately 88% of House Republicans asked that the Speaker be reprimanded for his ethics.
Newt Gingrich ended two marriages in divorce with infidelity widely accepted as the reason for their end. He was to blame. One of his daughters from his first marriage (he has two, both from the first marriage) has joined his campaign.
Newt Gingrich's 2012 presidential campaign hit a large snag on June 9 and June 21, 2011 when he went on an unplanned vacation and several key members of his staff including his longtime spokesman and his campaign manager quit citing internal disagreements about the direction of the campaign. This occurred while he was on vacation.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid publicly announced in January 2012 that if Gingrich became the president of the USA he would promise to make it his personal mission to make sure Gingrich is a one term president.
President Ronald Reagan mentioned Newt Gingrich once in his diaries. It was in response to a bad idea that Newt had given him.
Mitt Romney was the Republican Governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007. While in office his major credentials include having balanced the budget and putting in place a $2 billion rainy day fund, signing in Massachusetts heath care reform, expanding scholarships for college students in the #1 ranked education system in the USA, and overseeing a series of spending cuts and fee increases. He took no salary as governor.
Mitt Romney is the father of 5 sons who have all attended prestigious universities and married. He has been married to the same woman, Ann Romney, for 42 years. Four of his sons have joined him on the campaign trail--the fifth has expressed a desire to be there but a duty to finish his medical school residency.
Mitt Romney was the CEO of the 2002 Olympics. He joined the effort while they were scandal ridden and projected to lose money. Instead, they became one of the most financially successful winter olympics in history as well as one of the most watched.
Mitt Romney was hired by Bain & Company, a management consulting firm, in 1977. The head of Bain & Company offered Romney a partnership deal in a spinoff company, a private equity investment firm, called Bain Capitol in 1984. Romney was extremely careful in his decisions on investments. His first major success was in 1986 with Staples Inc. They soon moved from start ups to leveraged buyouts. Some of the companies they helped turn around include Dominos Pizza, Sports Authority, Artisan Entertainment, Brookstone, and others. During the 14 years Romney headed the company Bain Capital's average annual internal rate of return on realized investments was 113%. Romney's work was heavily data driven and averse to risk. And, in 1990, Romney was asked to return to his original employer, Bain & Company, which was facing financial collapse. He became its CEO in January 1991 but took no effective salary. Within one year he had turned Bain & Company and its 5,000 employees around, given it back to new leadership, and returned to Bain Capital.
Mitt Romney served as a local lay clergy in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was a Bishop from 1981-1986. And from 1986-1994 he presided over the Boston Stake with its approximately 4,000 church members.
Mitt Romney despite losing the race for the presidency in 2008 emerged in 2012 with a very powerful campaign structure. He has consistently earned more donations than any of his fellow Republican opponents and has garnered far more endorsements. These endorsements include prominent leaders and politicians including--
*Governor Chris Christie (New Jersey)
*Governor Nikki Haley (South Carolina)
*Governor Bob McDonnell (Virginia)
*Governor Tim Pawlenty (Minnesota, 2003-2011)
*Governor Jon Huntsman Jr (Utah, 2005-2009)
*Governor Robert Ray (Iowa, 1969-1983)
*Governor John Sununu (New Hampshire, 1983-1989)
*Governor Frank Keating (Oklahoma, 1995-2003)
*V President Dan Quayle (1989-1993)
*Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (-1996)
*Senator John McCain
*Senator Scott Brown
*Senator Kelly Ayotte
*Senator John Thune
*Senator John Hoeven
*Senator Lisa Murkowski
*Senator Mark Kirk
*Senator Orrin Hatch
*Representative Ros-Lehtinen (Florida)
*Representative Diaz-Balart (Florida)
*Representative Womack (Arkansas)
*Representative McCotter (Michigan)
*UN Ambassador Bolton (2005-2006)
AND, President George H W Bush has indicated Romney is the "best"
3. MORALS
Mitt Romney has had 1 wife, 1 religion, and has released his jobs plan, a book explaining his positions, and answered countless questions in interviews.
Newt Gingrich has had 3 wives, 3 religions, has released no jobs plan--no number of projected jobs, has released no book explaining his positions, and has dodged questions about his former marriage in a recent CNN debate. He has also made countless incendiary statements which have garnered him considerable political hype akin to a Lady Gaga or a Katy Perry. Among his stunts he has posted his taxes for one year on the internet during a debate and attacked Mitt Romney for not doing likewise DURING the debate. This is after he called for no attack ads and reversed his own position. He similarly did attack Mitt Romney's campaign claiming that until they release the taxes he would not trust them on anything. Thus, he took direct aim at Romney's character amidst Romney asserting that he had been "honest in his dealings".
Addendum--
On Tuesday Jan 24, 2012 Mitt Romney released his tax returns for 2010 and 2011. This is more than any other candidate. It is widely regarded by tax professionals cited by Forbes, CNN, etc that his finances were legally maintained and taxed properly and that he gave a considerable amount to various charity (roughly $6 million). He also paid a full 10% to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in tithes.
Newt Gingrich may be in trouble for his own taxes according to Forbes' Janet Novack's report. “Newt Gingrich avoided tens of thousands of dollars in Medicare payroll taxes in 2010 by using a technique the Internal Revenue Service has consistently and successfully attacked.” This technique has been dubbed the "John Edwards Loophole".

Thoughts On Liberty, Freedom, and America (Mosiah 29)
26 Now it is not common that the voice of the people desireth anything contrary to that which is right; but it is common for the lesser part of the people to desire that which is not right; therefore this shall ye observe and make it your law—to do your business by the voice of the people.
27 And if the time comes that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity, then is the time that the judgments of God will come upon you; yea, then is the time he will visit you with great destruction even as he has hitherto visited this land.
28 And now if ye have judges, and they do not ajudge you according to the law which has been given, ye can cause that they may be judged of a higher judge.
29 If your higher judges do not judge righteous judgments, ye shall cause that a small number of your lower judges should be gathered together, and they shall judge your higher judges, according to the voice of the people.
30 And I command you to do these things in the fear of the Lord; and I command you to do these things, and that ye have no king; that if these people commit sins and iniquities they shall be answered upon their own heads.
I believe in being a registered voter and an educated person of high moral fiber. I also believe in capitalism and I am a Mitt Romney backer.
