I haven't yet, but I will. Like many others this will be my first political campaign donation in memory.

Most of all, I want to see Obama defeated. Most of his policies reek of socialism, and they will not improve the economy. Nearly four years of him in power has pretty much proven that. The stimulus, the cash for clunkers, the massive health care package, and so on have not made things any better. In fact, while these government handouts had good intentions, they have really done nothing more than stall recovery and made things worse in some cases. The national debt has skyrocketed since Obama became President ... and I thought G.W. Bush was bad in this regard! People's health insurance rates & prescription drug costs have increased (not decreased) since the passage of Obamacare. Are we better off than we were four years ago? Most of us seriously can't say yes to that question.

We need somebody who will reduce the size of government, cut spending, and turn most federal programs over to local/state control, or the private sector. We need a distinguished successful businessman who will run the country like a reputable business. I see Romney as the best Republican candidate for President since Ronald Reagan. It's time to give him a try.
I have donated twice and I didn't even support him in the primaries.

Yes, several times...and much more than the $3 that Mr Hope and Change begs for....
I do think this country needs to be run more like a business, unlike an earlier poster suggested. The Govt is suppossed to be good stewards of the people's money to provide a nominal number of services, and I believe they are doing a terrible job.

Well said Valley. Yes I have contributed to Romney's campaign. I feel it is for the country and myself, not for Romney. BTW No wonder democrats are so bitter, they are using that scratchy toilet paper while republicans are using Angel Soft!

How about like a government? Why are we TRYING to get a world power to adapt policies of a corporation, where cuts and layoffs are the norm, and working loopholes for tax write off are acceptable?
