Despite the unending assaults on Romney out here, I still believe that he would make the best President.

The issue of gay marriage in Massachusetts I believe is falsely charged as Romney's work.

Romney's true baggage is the required health care that he signed into legislation. Worst political move ever by a conservative. He has no legitimate chance at the nomination despite his obvious potential for restoring the economic climate.

Sarah Palin is a symbol now. The media is obliged to take her out of the equation. Things are bound to get much uglier.

I will definitely work for her, and I certainly hope that she can take the heat that is undoubtedly coming her way.

"I am more convinced than ever before that as we seek to establish full equality for Americas gay and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent.

I am not unaware of my opponent’s considerable record in the area of civil rights, or the commitment of Massachusetts voters to the principle of equality for all Americans. For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponent’s record in this area. But I believe we can and must do better. If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.

We have discussed a number of important issues such as the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which I have agreed to co-sponsor, and if possible broaden to include housing and credit, and the bill to create a federal panel to find ways to reduce gay and lesbian youth suicide, which I also support. One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.

As we begin the final phase of this campaign, I need your support more than ever. By working together, we will achieve the goals we share for Massachusetts and our Nation."

Sincerely,

W. Mitt Romney
