I would like to help organize the facts so that when people say un-true stuff about Governor Mitt Romney we can respond.
Each of the Mitt Romney press releases follows the standard sentence structure. It says who is doing something, uses an action word, and then says what was done.
I have been organizing each of the press releases by topics but I decided I could make each of the action words in the sentence a link also. So when you read a press release on my site, that says, "Mitt Romney appoints a new HR director”, you can click on the word appoints, and find all the other appointments that Mitt Romney made.
That is the cool thing about these wikipedia sites. You can click on almost every word, and learn more about that topic.
If you get a chance, try it out and tell me if it is lame or not.
These are the action words that I have so far:

Governor Mitt Romney: Making government more efficient.
Governor Mitt Romney Consolidation Quotes
- “Throughout this process, we have been guided by a desire to simplify our health and human services agencies to better serve recipients. Rather than requiring families to navigate the current red tape jungle, we are consolidating functions to better help those who cannot help themselves. Families requiring HHS services now face a confusing alphabet soup of state agencies to access the help they need.”
- “You went through a tremendous evaluation process to decide where to consolidate the plant. You analyzed over 30 scenarios and considered many other states. In the end, you decided to stay here in Massachusetts and for that, I salute you,” Romney told company officials during a tour of the facility.
- “Massachusetts proved to be the best decision considering all the variables. We have the people, the capital and the technology market.”
- “The Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission office currently located on Middlesex Avenue will move to the Department of Transitional Assistance office located here at One Davis Square, saving taxpayers $108,000. It's just plain common sense to join two agencies together rather than having two offices half empty.”
- “As my 'Common Sense for the Commonwealth' program is implemented, taxpayers will see our outdated 1950's style bureaucracy transformed into a leaner, more efficient and better organized state government.”
