"Gov. Mitt Romney is the right choice for president

"As a second term Congressman from West Texas, I fully intended to keep my powder dry in the presidential race for quite a while. I had no intention of endorsing any of the candidates and simply wanted to meet a couple of them when they were in Austin a few weeks ago. Having read all the newspapers and Web sites for the last few months, I figured I knew what to expect.

"It is said that every presidential election is the most important election ever. Well, this time that sentiment might be true. We are fighting wars on many fronts – from the war against violent Islamic jihadists around the world to the war on government spending here at home. We need our next president to have the experience necessary to keep Americans safe and our economy prosperous. I believe former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is that person."

...

"We face many challenges as a nation. We need a president who will bring a new type of leadership to Washington – a proven leader that can unite our nation and lead to a stronger America. As governor of Massachusetts, Romney held to his conservative values while working with one of the most liberal state legislatures in the country."

...

"A strong believer in family values, Romney believes, as do I, that America's strength lies in the freedom of its people – freedom from big government, excessive regulations and high taxes. He has proven himself to be a successful leader ready to face difficult challenges – not because it was politically expedient but because it was the right thing to do."

...

"Mitt Romney believes our best days are ahead of us and that together, we can renew the American dream. That is why I am proud to be supporting him as he begins his campaign for our nation's highest office."
