Our Platform for Outlining Colorado’s Future

Today's schools are falling further and further behind world standards. It is time to raise the bar on education by making teaching a true profession, measuring progress, providing a focus on math and science, and involving parents from the beginning of a child's school career. "We cannot continue to have an excellence gap with the rest of the world and intend to remain the economic superpower and military superpower of the planet. That's just not going to happen," Romney said. "We're in a position where unless we take action, we'll end up being the France of the 21st century: a lot of talk, but not a lot of strength behind it in terms of economic capability." Governor Romney, AP, November 16, 2005 "It's going to take teachers, superintendents and parents talking to their legislators saying yes, we want more money of course ... but we also want changes in the way our schools are managed. We want our principals to have the ability to...

I had the chance to talk live with Don and Roma last week on their WLS Radio program in Chicago last week. It's always a little nerve-wracking to do an interview live, especially for me as I don't have a lot of experience doing it. I can't help it: I think about the risk that I'll say something stupid, that I'll fumble badly over my words, that I'll forget to wear my pants, etc. But Don and Roma were nice to talk to so they put me at ease. Here's a link where you can hear part of the interview:  And here are a couple of photos from the interview: Posted at 2007-07-30 08:20:29 by Matt Romney     Comments   Sounds like you did a great job!

I'm confident that national poll numbers will rise, the more states your dad is able to visit and get to meet people face-to-face. Posted by Sara in AZ at 2007-07-30 10:14:57 I ...

  Last week I had the opportunity to go to Chicago and attend a "networking party" hosted by State Senator Dan Rutherford at Harry Caray's Restaurant in Chicago. Senator Rutherford was nice enough to introduce me and let me say a few words on behalf of my dad. There must have been over 300 of Senator Rutherford's closest friends there (they all said how much they admire him). It was a great chance to meet so many Republican activists in Chicago and get a chance to tell them about my dad's candidacy. On the way back to the hotel, I had a nice stroll down Michigan Avenue. Chicago is a beautiful city. If you haven't been there, I highly recommend it. Here's a picture of me and Senator Rutherford next to Harry Caray's bust: Posted at 2007-07-30 10:10:05 by Matt Romney   Looks like fun! I could have gone, but I think it cost 50 or something...

To view this email as a web page, go here. We can all agree that we need change in America.  America’s strength depends on change and innovation. I’m convinced that America is going to change course. The question is which way it is going to go?  Are we going to take the sharp left turn Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards represent, or are we going to move forward with the American values that have always made us the ...
