Romney Week in Review
April 5, 2007

This week, Governor Mitt Romney announced that his campaign raised an astounding $23 million from the first quarter of 2007, more than any of his opponents in the Republican primary . With contributions from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., the strength of Governor Romney’s early fundraising effort demonstrates that his message of change in Washington through innovation and transformation is resonating with people across this country.

His strong showing in today’s Zogby poll in New Hampshire that places Governor Romney at 25% and tied for first in the field is one more indicator of Mitt’s surging momentum.

Unwilling to rest on his laurels, Governor Romney had an aggressive schedule of television apperances this week, including CBS’ Early Show, NBC’s Today Show, and ABC’s Good Morning America on Tuesday morning, Fox News’ Big Story with John Gibson on Tuesday evening, and an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday night. Watch all the highlights and don’t miss Mitt’s 2008 candidate word association game!

Governor Romney also held his first “Ask Mitt Anything” public forums in Derry, New Hampshire and Urbandale, Iowa. “Ask Mitt Anything” events are an opportunity for local residents to ask the Governor questions in a town hall or tele-town hall about his policies, ideas and vision for meeting a new generation of challenges.

But because most Americans can’t make it to Derry or Urbandale, we’ve launched a new “Ask Mitt Anything” channel on Mitt TV where you can watch Mitt answer unscripted, unfiltered questions from these events. We’ve already released videos on the national debt, immigration, energy policy, foreign relations, and the right to life.

Finally, the campaign launched it’s newest television ad, “;I Like Vetoes,” which highlights Governor Romney’s pledge to bring fiscal discipline back to Washington.

Governor Romney has proposed capping non-defense discretionary spending at inflation minus one percent and will veto any budget that exceeds that amount. Make sure to watch it on Mitt TV now ... early primary voters will be soon!

Thanks for posting that portion of the Romney Week in Review email from the Romney campaign. It reminds me, I should let people know how to sign up for that excellent summary at Join Team Mitt on the campaign website. I'll prepare a FReepMail for the Mitt Romney Ping List.

The new "Ask Mitt Anything" channel on Mitt TV will be a great addition to the video library.

Good! I like this. While serving on a public board, we imposed this on the liberal majority due to legislative budgetary requirements. 7 of my eight years, we held below inflation.

Didn't hurt us a bit financially. And we still expanded our services while eliminating detritus of earlier failed policy initiatives. It wasn't even painful, except to the liberal majority who acted like it would kill them to tolerate any limitation on their ability to rob the voters to offer loopy services 'for the children'. But we even managed to convince some of them after some years had passed.

Federal, state and local governments needs to be put on a lean diet on a regular basis. Those parasites have a tendency toward slow metabolism and become quite obese without some dietary rigor.

I'm not supporting Mitt yet. But he is doing well to revive and champion fiscal conservatism and smaller government, at least with me.
