Protecting Our Children:
Governor Romney Proposed A "One-Strike, You're Ours" Law For Those Convicted Of Preying On Children Using The Internet. We need new, tougher federal penalties for first-time offenders who use the Internet to sexually assault children, including stiff mandatory jail time to be followed by lifetime tracking by Global Positioning Satellite (GPS).

A Real Tax-Free Savings Program For Middle-Income Americans:
Governor Romney: "You ought to be able to save your money and you ought to have a special tax rate on your savings... the tax rate ought to be absolutely zero. ... Edwards is going to announce today that he's in favor of a plan that let's you save $250 tax free. That's not going to pay for college, or retirement, or a car – maybe a bike..." (Gov.

America's Strength:
Unlike Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), Governor Romney Will Not Meet With Some Of The World's Worst Dictators. "Romney says Obama was wrong to say he'd meet with the leaders of Iran, Syria and North Korea. 'The president of the United States does not bestow our dignity and the power of our reputation around the world around those people,' Romney says. 'It's a remarkable difference if a Democratic president like Barack Obama were running this country.'" (O. Kay Henderson, "Romney Sides With Clinton In Foreign Policy Spat," Radio Iowa, 7/26/07)
