Romney to address ski-resort association in May

http://www.sltrib.com/business/ci_13953660


Group likes his Olympic, business perspectives

The Salt Lake Tribune

The National Ski Areas Association likes Mitt Romney's perspective and has arranged for the Republican presidential candidate and former organizer of Salt Lake City's Olympics to be keynote speaker at its annual meeting in May.

"Not only does he possess a unique perspective of the ski industry, given his work in organizing the [2002] Winter Olympics, but we're confident that [former Massachusetts] Gov. Romney's pro-business, small-government message will resonate with a number of our member ski area owners and operators," said NSAA President Michael Berry.

He said Romney's appearance at the national convention and trade show, May 2-5 in Orlando, Fla., will occur shortly after the scheduled spring publication of No Apology: The Case for American Greatness . In that book, Romney is expected to address 21st Century challenges facing the United States.

Attack at Pearl Harbor, 1941

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.....Dec.7, 1941

The surprise was complete. The attacking planes came in two waves; the first hit its target at 7:53 AM, the second at 8:55. By 9:55 it was all over. By 1:00 PM the carriers that launched the planes from 274 miles off the coast of Oahu were heading back to Japan.

Behind them they left chaos, 2,403 dead, 188 destroyed planes and a crippled Pacific Fleet that included 8 damaged or destroyed battleships. In one stroke the Japanese action silenced the debate that had divided Americans ever since the German defeat of France left England alone in the fight against the Nazi terror.

Approximately three hours later, Japanese planes began a day-long attack on American facilities in the Philippines. (Because the islands are located across the International Dateline, the local Philippine time was just after 5 AM on December 8.) Farther to the west, the Japanese struck at Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand in a coordinated attempt to use surprise in order inflict as much damage as quickly as possible to strategic targets.

Although stunned by the attack at Pearl Harbor, the Pacific Fleet's aircraft carriers, submarines and, most importantly, its fuel oil storage facilities emerged unscathed. These assets formed the foundation for the American response that led to victory at the Battle of Midway the following June and ultimately to the total destruction of the Japanese Empire four years later.

Aboard the USS Arizona

The battleships moored along "Battleship Row" are the primary target of the attack's first wave. Ten minutes after the beginning of the attack a bomb crashes through the Arizona's two armored decks igniting its magazine. The explosion rips the ship's sides open like a tin can starting a fire that engulfs the entire ship. Within minutes she sinks to the bottom taking 1,300 lives with her. The sunken ship remains as a memorial to those who sacrificed their lives during the attack. Marine Corporal E.C. Nightingale was aboard the Arizona that fateful Sunday morning:

"At approximately eight o'clock on the morning of December 7, 1941, I was leaving the breakfast table when the ship's siren for air defense sounded. Having no anti-aircraft battle station, I paid little attention to it. Suddenly I heard an explosion. I ran to the port door leading to the quarterdeck and saw a bomb strike a barge of some sort alongside the NEVADA, or in that vicinity. The marine color guard came in at this point saying we were being attacked. I could distinctly hear machine gun fire. I believe at this point our anti-aircraft battery opened up.

Romney's 10-Point Plan to Lift Our Economy

>> Read the entire op-ed at USA Today

Mr. President, here's how to lift our economy
By Mitt Romney

My 10-point plan

The president's economists insist that technically, the recession is over. But double-digit unemployment was neither prevented nor has it ended. To get people back to work as rapidly as possible and to restore America's economic vitality, the nation must change course.

Here's the advice I would give:

•Repair the stimulus. Freeze the funds that haven't yet been spent and redirect them to immediate, private sector job-creation priorities.

•Create tax incentives that promote business expansion and hiring. For example, install a robust investment tax credit, permit businesses to expense capital purchases made in 2010, and reduce payroll taxes. These will reignite construction, technology and a wide array of capital goods industries, and lead to expanded employment.

•Prove to the global investors that finance America's debt that we are serious about reining in spending and becoming fiscally prudent by adopting limits on non-military discretionary spending and reforming our unsustainable, unfunded entitlements. These are key to strengthening the dollar, reducing the threat of rampant inflation and holding down interest rates.

•Close down any talk of carbon cap-and-trade. It will burden consumers and employers with billions in new costs. Instead, greatly expand our commitment to natural gas and nuclear, boosting jobs now and reducing the export of energy jobs and dollars later.

•Tell the unions that job-stifling "card check" legislation is off the table. Laying new burdens on small business will kill entrepreneurship and job creation.

•Don't allow a massive tax increase to go into effect in 2011 with the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. The specter of more tax-fueled government spending and the reduction of capital available for small business will hinder investment and business expansion.

•New spending should be strictly limited to items that are critically needed and that we would have acquired in the future, such as new military equipment to support our troops abroad and essential infrastructure at home.

•Install dynamic regulations for the financial sector – rules that are up to date, efficient and not excessively burdensome. But do not so tie up the financial sector with red tape that we lose a vital component of our economic system.

•Open the doors to trade. Give important friends like Colombia favored trade status rather than bow to protectionist demands. Now is the time for aggressive pursuit of opportunities for new markets for American goods, not insular retrenchment.

•Stop frightening the private sector by continuing to hold GM stock, by imposing tighter and tighter controls on compensation, and by pursuing a public insurance plan to compete with private insurers. Government encroachment on free enterprise is depressing investment and job creation.

New York State of Revolt

Mitt Romney has long extolled the need to lower the tax burden on American families. The old maxim that whatever you tax you get less off has been proven true time and again.

The GOP needs to pay attention to the taxpayer revolt that is starting to sweep the country and realize that the voters have had to up to their earlobes with politicians who have never seen a spending bill that they didn't like.

It's stories like this latest one coming out of New York State that make me feel that Mitt Romney is going to be America's choice for Mr. Fix It as we look at the financial carnage that Obama and an out-of-control Democratic super majority has wrought.

Enough with the taxes, say voters in Westchester and Long Island.

Republicans won a squeaker in Long Island, New York's Nassau County this week. And according to the loser, Democratic County Executive Tom
Suozzi, it should serve as a warning to politicians nationwide, especially those
in high-tax states.

"People are angry about property taxes, and they
held the county executive accountable," said Mr. Suozzi after conceding to Ed Mangano, a little-known local Republican legislator. "You'd
better be careful, because you're all at risk."

Mr. Suozzi is not your
typical tax-and-spend liberal. He's been a sensible Democrat who has repeatedly
called for tax reform and picked up the pieces of Nassau County after the GOP
imploded. In 2001, when Mr. Suozzi became Nassau's first Democratic county
executive in three decades, the county's bond rating was barely above junk.

But Nassau residents today pay the second-highest property tax bills in
the nation (after New Jerseyans) and Mr. Suozzi got caught up in the revolt
against rising levies. He wasn't the only one. Last month in Westchester
County, the high-tax suburb just north of New York City where Democrats
outnumber Republicans by 2 to 1, popular Democratic County Executive Andy Spano
lost by 16 points to low-tax Republican Rob Astorino, whom he beat by the same
margin four years earlier.

The GOP now gets another
chance to regain its footing in Long Island, and we can hope it's learned
something from the days of the Al D'Amato patronage machine that nearly
bankrupted Nassau County. The broader lesson for other elected officials is that
taxpayers have a breaking point, and this may not be the best time to test their
limits.

Romney Endorses Ivey for Governor of Alabama

via Fox WBRC:

Former Massachusetts Governor and 2008 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has endorsed Alabama State Treasurer Kay Ivey's campaign for governor.

Ivey's campaign announced the news Monday morning in the following statement to FOX6 News:

"I worked closely with Kay when I ran for president," Romney said. "Having been a governor myself, I know she's got the experience and vision to do a good job. Some candidates may talk about being a conservative, but Kay Ivey is the real thing. I've seen her stay true to her conservative principles as State Treasurer, and I know they will guide her as governor of Alabama."

Ivey served as Alabama Chairwoman of Romney's presidential campaign and says she is honored to have his endorsement. "It says a lot when a national figure of Governor Romney's stature supports my effort to provide Alabamians conservative leadership with effective results. Governor Romney and I share a passion for making government work better for the people it serves.

"Mitt Romney took office at a time of economic crisis and he turned things around for his state," Ivey said. "I will do the same in Alabama. Mitt Romney was a leader in improving education as governor, and I will be, too. As a candidate for president, Mitt Romney stood up the values of faith and family and defended our cherished way of life. I will do the same here in Alabama as well."

Mitt Romney Actually Coming to the Athenaem

News by Victoria Hetz

http://cmcforum.com/news/11232009-mitt-romney-potential-res-publica-speaker

Romney’s Athenaeum appearance makes sense as part of series of events with Claremont-based organizations, as he is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at Claremont Institute’s California Public Policy Conference in Newport Beach on Dec. 5, 2009 to discuss state and local government policies and their future impact. The Claremont Institute, while independent of the Claremont Colleges, hosts a number of faculty members from the CMC government on its board. This connection to CMC could well yield other fruitful interactions with Romney for the College.

Given Romney’s economic background, his opinions on the financial crisis would be especially invaluable to CMCers with economic-driven aspirations, but would also likely attract members of CMC’s vibrant political community.

Romney's Op-Ed about Afghanistan on Politico:

During the presidential campaign, many Americans thought that Barack Obama’s lack of leadership experience would not prevent him from being an effective president. His eloquence, his insistence that, yes, he could solve any problem and his image, so artfully crafted by his advertising team, led by David Axelrod, convinced many that hope could trump demonstrated ability. It has not. Nowhere is the evidence more apparent than in his mismanagement of the conflict in Afghanistan.

A $hattering $uccess

Jacksonville Observer:

Duval GOP’s Romney Event Shatters Fundraising Records

Jacksonville was the place to be for Florida Republicans Monday night. The Duval County Republican Party announced today that the November 9th event, “An Evening with Governor Mitt Romney Honoring Tom Petway”, was an unparalleled success, topping all previous such events in Northeast Florida.

“The local Republican Party is on fire! Everyone is energized and prepared to turn out the vote in 2010. Thanks to the generosity of our donors – many of whom have never given to the local Party before – and of course our mighty grassroots, we exceeded our goal and raised more $250,000 even in these tough economic times.

State Committeewoman Cindy Graves, who chaired the event, reported record ticket sales. “Republican grassroots leaders from five counties turned out a sell-out crowd of more than 750 and still others clamoring for tickets on Monday.

Curry also praised the unique draw of the event’s keynote speaker and honoree. “Tom Petway is a legend both for his generosity to the GOP and his unwavering support of Jacksonville. Governor Mitt Romney has a unifying message of a strong economy and military coupled with a patriotic view of America. Joined by Republican leaders and elected officials from all over Florida, we celebrated our collective goal of an overwhelming victory for fiscally conservative Republican candidates throughout our state and our nation in 2010,” Curry said.

ROCK STAR!

John posted this article earlier, with these comments:

While some in the second and third tier of possible Presidential candidates are engaged in ad hominem attacks on fellow Republicans, Gov. Romney is moving the ball down the field and quietly rebuilding the Party from the ground up.

Kudos to the the Duval County Republican Party for organizing a very successful fundraiser for Tom Petway.

'Conservative to the Core'

Governor Romney, Welcome Back - to Florida!
>> read entire editorial here

Monday night at the Duval County R.E.C. Lincoln Day Dinner, over 750 North East Florida Republicans gave a warm welcome to their number one 2008 Presidential primary favorite, Gov. Mitt Romney.

Romney’s speech was principled, impassioned and conservative to the core. He spoke about the dire effects of big government spending and taxpayer funded bailouts crippling an already frail economy, versus limited government which spurs economic growth and empowers Americans to pursue greater opportunities.

Like President Reagan, Romney is a free market, economic supply-sider. He believes in the greatness of the American people to overcome the economic challenges we face, not by mortgaging trillions of dollars in debt to future generations by expanding government bureaucracy.

Our nation and Florida are facing the worst economic crisis since 1975. Florida’s unemployment rate is at a staggering 11% and growing. Mitt Romney is a full spectrum conservative and as such is a natural ally on the life issues. He has the moral fortitude, record, and intelligence to steer this country back on course.

Though the 2012 election may seem a long way off, people are looking to the future for hope. In several of the latest polls, former governor Mitt Romney is the front runner for the Republican nomination. It’s time to start paying attention to what he has to say.

Romney to Speak at the Ronald Reagan Ranch

via CNN:

Mitt Romney is heading to Reagan country.

The former Massachusetts governor is scheduled to speak this Friday to the Young America's Foundation at the Ronald Reagan Ranch Center in Santa Barbara, California. Romney is expected to be the dinner banquet speaker for the foundation's West Coast Leadership Conference, which consists of young conservatives from 44 colleges and universities across 12 states.

"Young people provide much of the energy in the conservative movement, and if we are going to be successful as a party we need to harness that energy and put it work on behalf of the principles we all believe in – more freedom, lower taxes and limited government," says Romney Adviser Eric Fehrnstrom.

Since February, Romney has made a series of moves that could aid in any 2012 reprise of his 2008 presidential bid: He has attended nine events for senatorial candidates, appeared at more than a dozen rallies or fundraisers for those running for governor this year or next, and spoken at almost two dozen meetings of Republican Party groups or conservative organizations. He's also finished a new book, due out next year.

"From now until November of 2010, I will be working to help conservatives across the country," Romney told CNN last week. "The country, in my view, is being taken a direction that is very damaging, and I think people want to see a strong return of fundamental American principles."

Romney Statement on Veterans Day

Mitt Romney's statement on Veterans Day:

"As Americans pause to reflect on the service of veterans, I want to express my appreciation for our active military stationed in Afghanistan, Iraq and around the world, separated from families and loved ones, who dutifully carry out the mission of keeping the nation safe from its enemies. The Fort Hood massacre is a reminder of the threats we face, both at home and abroad. On this day of remembrance, we are called to remain vigilant, thankful for the contributions of so many who once wore the uniform and mindful of the sacrifices currently being made in defense of freedom and liberty."

Mission Remission: Now that we have lost the battle, how can we win the war?

I don't agree with the NRO on one point. I don't think we have lost the battle, I think we got some Congress critters on record for having voted for this power grab/tax increase in a time of 10% unemployment, with 20% unemployment being the real number.

This vote makes it easier to identify the Representatives who need to be swept out of Congress.

An NRO Symposium

Pelosicare may have passed the House,
but the debate on health care is far from over. What should conservatives be
doing to influence the next phase? We contacted a few of National Review
Online’s health-care experts and asked them for their recommendations.


JEFFREY H. ANDERSON

As the health-care
debate moves to the Senate, Obamacare opponents should emphasize that the Senate
bill is not remotely moderate. It would cost $1.7 trillion in its real first
decade (2014–23), according to the Congressional Budget Office — 95 percent as
much as the House bill.

Two points should be hit particularly hard: One,
the Senate bill would provide tremendous incentives for people not to buy
insurance until they are already sick or injured — which would raise most
Americans’ insurance premiums substantially. Two, it would brazenly pay for
Obamacare by siphoning hundreds of billions from Medicare. The bill even says it
would cut Medicare Advantage benefits, and would cut doctors’ Medicare payments
by 25 percent and never raise them back up. If it didn’t follow through, it
would become a massive-deficit bill.

Crucially, we should also advance —
and persuade Republican senators to champion — a clear alternative. To avoid the
criticism that the House GOP bill got for not doing enough to address the number
of uninsured, GOP senators should basically take the House Republican bill and
add a targeted tax break — finally ending the unfair tax on the uninsured
(without touching employer-provided insurance or its tax status). Unlike the
$1.7 trillion Democratic bill, the CBO says, the $61 billion House GOP bill
would lower Americans’ premiums. The GOP Senate bill would also significantly
lower the number of uninsured — and could do so in a deficit-neutral manner.

Americans’ choice would be clear: massive cuts to Medicare benefits and
doctors’ payments, or none; $1.7 trillion, or one-tenth of that; government
control or private control; mandates or choice; higher premiums or lower
premiums. The GOP bill would accomplish more, cost less, and destroy less. It
would highlight the core weaknesses of the Democratic bill while bringing
Americans into the GOP camp.

— Jeffrey H. Anderson is a senior fellow in
health-care studies at the Pacific Research Institute and was the senior
speechwriter for Secretary Mike Leavitt at the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services during Pres. George W. Bush’s second term.


GARY ANDRES

— The House bill is a
target-rich environment from both a policy and a political perspective. It’s a
bloated, partisan government takeover of the health-care system that doesn’t
address Americans’ central concern, affordability. Moving forward, conservatives
must continue to highlight its many shortcomings, including higher taxes and
increased health-care premiums, a $1.3 trillion price tag, $505 billion in
Medicare cuts, and a long list of new mandates. But conservatives can also
confidently appeal to the most salient concern Americans express in poll after
poll: how much health care costs.

On this point, the House-passed bill
and the Republican substitute offer a stunning contrast. The GOP alternative
makes health care more affordable; the Democratic bill makes it more expensive.
This radical difference alone should be a game-changer.

According to
CBO, the Republican substitute reduces premiums by 10 percent for small groups
(50 or fewer employees), 8 percent for individuals without employer-based
coverage, and 3 percent for those employed by large companies. CBO says the
government-run plan in the Democratic bill would result in higher premiums and
costs for individuals and businesses.

Reducing frivolous lawsuits and
offering more choices are two other ways the Republicans apply conservative
principles to contain costs. The Democratic bill fails on these fronts as well.

Conservative policies produce more affordable health care, for
individuals, businesses (small and large), and the government. This should be
conservatives’ mantra moving forward.

— Gary Andres is vice chairman of
research and policy at the Dutko Group Companies and a frequent NRO contributor.

SALLY PIPES

Conservatives must focus on the
Pelosi/Obama bill, reminding Americans that this is what happens when Democrats
have total power. They talk center and legislate left — raising taxes, building
bureaucracy, and limiting freedom. A battle has certainly been lost, but the war
may yet be won. Conservatives should highlight the absurd details of the House
legislation and communicate the issue in terms that resonate with moderate
Americans. The issue is too important to lose.

Conservatives must
compare the massive costs of the bill to the modest benefits. Deficit neutral
does not mean household-budget neutral. Democratic health reform will cost
trillions, much more than the CBO estimate of $1.3 trillion.

We must
remind Americans that the bills contain nothing but wishful thinking —
discredited and disliked ideas — to control costs. As Thomas Sowell points out,
shifting costs to taxpayers is not the same as controlling them. Price controls
always lead to rationing. As for government being more efficient than the
private sector, a recent 60 Minutes exposé on Medicare shows it efficiently pays
$60 billion a year to fraudsters.

Most important, these people cannot be
trusted to tell the truth or keep their promises. Candidate Obama campaigned on
no middle-class tax increase. He lambasted Hillary Clinton for endorsing an
individual mandate and McCain for wanting to tax health insurance. Today, he’s
endorsed bills that will punish the middle class, tax health insurance, and
mandate that people purchase a government-approved form of it or pay fines.

This all seems so obvious to those of us tracking the issue. Yet we
obviously haven’t clearly communicated it to the public.

Center Goes Right

Full column: Obama Cedes the Center
by Michael Gerson

Both McDonnell and New Jersey's governor-elect, Chris Christie, were blessed with opponents who combined weakness and viciousness in equal measure. But the ideological atmosphere for the election was determined by Obama himself. When I interviewed McDonnell in September, he saw the first signs of an anti-Democratic backlash among Virginia businesspeople who were concerned about the "card check" bill (which would allow union organization without a majority vote). Then a broader resentment about the level of spending and new burdens imposed by cap-and-trade climate legislation. Then the summer of health care reform discontent.

The White House now dismisses Tuesday's losses as the reflection of "local issues" -- as though the Virginia outcome was determined by zoning disputes on the proposed site of a new 7-Eleven. When one of the primary concerns of the electorate is the direction of the economy, all politics is national.

By creating deficits unequaled as a percentage of the economy since World War II, by proposing to nearly triple the national debt in the next 10 years, by using the economic crisis as an excuse for the massive expansion of government authority over health care, Obama has become a polarizing figure. Of course, some Republicans thrive on ideological combat and would seek it even if unprovoked. But it is Obama's tax-and-spend ambitions that have united Republicans of every stripe in opposition, put fiscally conservative Democrats in an impossible bind, and ceded the economic center to Republican candidates in Virginia and New Jersey.

The Republican candidates who won on Tuesday were generally conservative, but not angry. They were supported by the Republican base, but spent most of their time reaching toward the middle. It was a center-right victory in a center-right country.

Add to all of this, today's big number: 10.2
See: Unemployment Rate Soars Past 10 Percent

High unemployment is likely to become a political liability for Obama and Democrats in Congress. ... “More debt, more spending … clearly has not worked — particularly in a time of double-digit unemployment,” said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
