Bain Capital also

others.

Mitt Romney is one of
the wealthiest self-made men in our
country but has given
more back to its citizens in terms of
money, service and
time than most men.
And in 2011 Mitt
Romney gave over $4 million to charity,
almost 19% of his
income.... Just for comparison purposes,
Obama gave 1% and Joe
Biden gave $300 or .0013%.

Mitt Romney's
background, experience and trustworthiness
show him to be a
great leader and an excellent citizen for
President of the United States.
You may think that
Romney may not be the best representative
the Republicans could
have selected. At least we know what
religion he is, and
that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice
fiscal irresponsibility.
We know he has the
ability to turn this financial debacle
that the current
regime has gotten us into. We won't like
all the things
necessary to recover from this debt, but
someone with Romney's
background can do it.
On the minus side, He
never was a "Community Organizer", never took drugs or smoked pot, never got
drunk, did not associate with
communists or
terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose
pastor called for God to damn the US!
Here are some things about Romney's character you won’t see on
the main stream media....
In July 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner
at Bain Capital, had disappeared. She
had attended a rave party in New York City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days
later, her distraught father had no idea where she was.
Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all
30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find Gay’s daughter. Romney set up a command center at the
LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to assist with the
search. He established a toll-free
number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his
Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York, and asked them to help find his
friend’s missing daughter. Romney’s
accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while
cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper.
Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked
with everyone they could – prostitutes, drug addicts – anyone.
That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured
photos of the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a teenage boy phoned in, asked
if there was a reward, and then hung up abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to
a home in New Jersey, where they found the girl in the
basement, shivering and experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a massive
ecstasy dose. Doctors later said the girl might not have survived another
day. Romney’s former partner credits
Mitt Romney with saving his daughter’s life, saying, “It was the most amazing
thing, and I’ll never forget this to the day I die.”
So, here’s my epiphany: Mitt Romney simply can’t help himself. He sees a problem, and his mind immediately
sets to work solving it, sometimes consciously, and sometimes
not-so-consciously. He doesn’t do it
for self-aggrandizement, or for personal gain. He does it because that’s just how he’s
wired.
Many people are unaware of the fact that when Romney was asked
by his old employer, Bill Bain, to come back to Bain & Company as CEO to
rescue the firm from bankruptcy, Romney left Bain Capital to work at Bain
& Company for an annual salary of one dollar. When Romney went to the rescue of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, he accepted no salary for
three years, and wouldn’t use an expense account. He also accepted no salary as Governor of Massachusetts.
THIS IS ALL TRUE, YOU CAN CHECK IT ON SNOPES.
Character counts!!
