A Level of Importance Above Football

Florida Is Romney Country

 

Mitt Romney

On a college football Saturday with threatening skies, over 10,000 patriots, surprisingly confirmed in the Orlando Sentinel, with many sporting team colors, gathered in the Central Florida community of Apopka for a Romney Victory Rally.

Mitt, joined by his wife Ann, invigorated the crowd discussing the four year legacy of failure of the Obama administration and the pinpoint plans he has to return our country to prosperity.  Rep. Artur Davis, (R:AL), senatorial candidate Connie Mack, Florida CFO Jeff Atwater, Dan Webster and fellow Orlando Boone graduate and state senate candidate Andy Gardiner also spoke.

The entire program can be seen by clicking the following link:  Romney Apopka Rally.

Warming up the crowd before the rally was country music star Andy Griggs, who rather than rooting on his LSU Tigers on Satruday in Gainesville, found his time better served to join up with the Romney Victory Tour for the evening. Our group missed a good portion of the Florida State game, one we lost as huge favorites, as well.

 

There are very few things more important than the color and pageantry of college football Saturday here in the south, but helping to elect Mitt Romney the 45th President of the United States is one of them.

 

For Sunday Night Song, we will give a shout out to Andy for coming out to help us at the rally by posting his classic hit, "You Won't Ever Be Lonely".   Enjoy.

 

 

 

Love of the American Dream

This has been a very busy week. Not only are we scrambling around to preserve our standard of living under assault from the Obama administration (yes, we did build it), but along with the excitement of the start of NCAA College Football, the wrap up of the NFL preseason and dodging the latest hurricane, we have the Republican National Convention.

The Grand Old Party event has been interesting for sure. While there have been your usual snoozers, with John McCain and Mitch McConnell peeling paint, there have been some inspirational speeches praising the American dream; the privilege to participate in the great American experiment and chase your dreams.

We got some of what we expected, inclusive of learning (who did not know) that Ann and Mitt Romney are not oblivious to the struggles many Americans face each and every day. Chris Chirstie went large and hammered Obama on the issue of leadership and the failures of big government progressivism.

Comments by Artur Davis, Rand Paul, Condoleezza Rice, Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuño, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Ohio Gov. John Kasich highlighted that we can adhere to principles and change our path to prosperity. Paul Ryan hit for the cycle in a tremendous speech.

One thing is clear; the GOP bench is very deep.

Perhaps the speech that resonated with me the most came from Mia Love, Mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, a candidate for Congress. She gets it totally, and does not buy the new normal narrative consisting of the central planning of our lives through regulation and entitlements.

Her story is one everyone should hear about, and in eloquent fashion, she gave it to you at the RNC in Tampa town; a mighty fine place to be by the way. If you missed her; please take a listen.



Mia Love is someone who subscribes to the principles of our founding fathers and shares my vision of America and I would thrilled to cast a vote for her. She surely has quite a future. Come on Utah, join Conservatives across America and show your Love4Utah!
