Strategy for a Stronger America
Romney for President 2008 ^ | 09/19/07 | Mitt Romney

Posted on 09/19/2007 3:47:15 AM PDT by Reaganesque

My fellow Americans,

Throughout the history of the world, there have been “inflection points”—times when political, economic, military and other forces converged to alter the course of our nation’s history. I believe we are at one of those inflection points today. Forces of globalization, the rise of major new economic powerhouses such as China and India, and the emergence of radical jihad have created a “perfect storm” that will change the course of our nation.

Our actions today will determine which course America will take.Will America remain the world’s economic and military superpower, able to preserve peace and prosperity? Will our children and grandchildren grow up with the same opportunities that have been the birthright of Americans for over two centuries? Will the culture that is uniquely American—a culture of family, patriotism, faith, and freedom—remain the foundation of the American dream?

Our future depends on our willingness to hold to the principles that have guided and built our nation. It depends on the character and sacrifices of the American people. And it depends on leadership to craft and implement a Strategy for a Stronger America.

America’s strength has been the best ally peace has ever known. Our strength has flowed from the inherent goodness of our people, a people that time and again has paid the ultimate price for freedom, for faith, and for family. Our strength starts in the home where mothers and fathers teach children enduring values. It is seen in our economy where free enterprise has been matched with ingenuity, technology and hard work. And it is preserved by a strong military, peopled by the bravest and most patriotic soldiers in the world.

As I look at the new generation of challenges facing our country, I know that our actions must be rooted in the core principles that have made America strong. Our way ahead must be built on these fundamental principles:

 Our military superiority cannot be compromised

 Our government must remain federalist and governing should be conducted as close to the people as possible. Washington today is not the solution, it is part of the problem

 Money and resources are best used when they remain in the hands of the people. A competitive America is one where taxes are low and government is small

 Free market principles built the American economy. Unleashing the power of free markets is key to our economic future

 Culture determines the strength of a nation. American values must be cherished and developed in each generation

 Government should be accountable and transparent. Government service is a privilege and government officials should be held to the highest ethical standards

These principles are at the center of my Strategy for a Stronger America. I am convinced that as we employ these principles to confront the new generation of challenges, we will emerge an even stronger nation. Our future will be even more bright and prosperous than our past.

If I have the privilege of serving as your President, I can promise that these principles will guide my decisions and that I will be ready to act, on day one. Together, we will meet our challenges. We will leave our children and grandchildren an America that is strong and prosperous, an America that remains the hope of the world.

Sincerely,

Mitt Romney

...And when Fred whoops Mitt's blow-dried butt in New Hampshire, you RINOs will all be crying in your metrosexual mocha lattes. Too bad, so sad.

Tell 'em what you think of Romney and his campaign, lil yellow dude...

Still with that not-so-fresh feeling. He's going to be the next President of Inyourdreamsastan. You can move there and continue stroking his ginormous ego.

Good questions, and Mitt Romney is undoubtedly the best and the brightest to help us achieve all the right answers.
