First, Mr. Romney will strengthen families in America. For too long, we have debated health care in America while watching as costs go up and the ranks of the uninsured increase. Mr. Romney will make sure every citizen in our country has access to affordable health insurance that is private and portable.
As he did in Massachusetts, he will make sure that our children have great schools and teaching is treated like a profession. To build strong families, Mr. Romney will also defend our traditional values. Washington talks about empowering families, but he will get the job done.
Second, Mr. Romney will strengthen our military. In April 2007, he laid out a bold plan to add at least 100,000 more troops to our military and commit to funding the Armed Forces with at least 4% of our GDP. Mr. Romney recognizes that our men and women in the military need a stronger commitment from Washington, especially when they come home and require the care we have promised to them. Washington talks about strengthening our military. Mr. Romney will get the job done.
Third, Mr. Romney will strengthen our economy. He knows what we must do today because he understands the economy and why jobs come and go. The best way to promote growth in both the short-term and long-term is to cut taxes. Mr. Romney has proposed a bold agenda that puts Washington on the side of taxpayers.
Among many things, he will make the president's tax cuts permanent, eliminate taxes on middle-class savings and end the payroll tax on seniors who return to the workforce. These are elements of his tax plan that end inequities in our tax code. Washington talks about strengthening our economy. Mr. Romney will get the job done.

I read your remarks in the WSJ and I have to question some of your statements based on Governor Romney's record. I really question that he will strengthen our families the way he promoted homosexual marriage in Mass. And what about his judicial nominees? Everything I read on his nominees scares me - who knows what he'll do as president.
KC in Ohio
KC - I see you are from Ohio. Perhaps you should investigate the "facts" not the distortions that others are wanting you to believe. I am more afraid that if McCain gets the Oval Office, he will drop an A-Bomb on the Hanoi Hilton, just to get even with them. As McCain said in Florida, check this story: http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Buchanan_McCain_win_means_war_with_0128.html
I'd be more worried how quickly McCain will start WWIII.
He most certainly did NOT promote homosexual marriage. He was the one fighting for traditional marriage and stood up to the judicary in Massachusetts who were trying to by-pass the citzens of the state and enact law for gay marriage. Get your facts straight before you vote, please.
