MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL INDIANA ENDORSEMENTS
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today announced additional endorsements in Indiana.
“This election is the most important in a generation,” said Mitt Romney. “Indiana has not been served well by President Obama. He has failed on his promise to fix the economy and must be held accountable. With the help of these men and women, we will put our country on the right path again.”
“Mitt Romney is the candidate best suited to meeting the challenges our country faces,” said State Senator Jim Merritt. “On the issue with which Americans are most concerned, the economy, there is no other candidate who is better equipped to go toe-to-toe with President Obama, defeat him in November, and restore confidence that America will continue to be the world’s most powerful nation.”
“President Obama’s high-spending policies have put us on a path to Greece,” said State Representative Heath Van Natter. “Mitt Romney is a conservative businessman – he knows that you can’t spend more than you take in. He has proposed policies that will stop the growth of government and allow for the private sector to flourish.”
Announcing the additional endorsements, Congressman Todd Rokita said, “President Obama has failed Indiana and the rest of the country. Three years ago, he promised to bring change to Washington and to turn around the economy – he has not delivered on these promises. Mitt Romney has the private sector experience that our next president must have to fix the economic mess President Obama has created. Along with these leaders in Indiana, we will work to defeat President Obama in November and ensure that our future is as bright as our past.”

Huntsman Campaign Accepts Lincoln-Douglas Debate With Gingrich
Manchester- Jon Huntsman for President today announced that Governor Huntsman will be participating in a Lincoln-Douglas style debate with Newt Gingrich in New Hampshire this month. Details pending negotiations with the Gingrich campaign.
In addition, our campaign is declining the invitation to participate in the Donald Trump Apprentice Debate on December 27th.
Campaign spokesman Tim Miller issued the following statement:
"We look forward to discussing the issues that matter to the American people in a serious, substantive debate with Speaker Gingrich later this month. It is telling that Governor Romney has declined to participate because this substantive format makes it hard for him to hide from his record.
In addition, we have declined to participate in the 'Presidential Apprentice' Debate with The Donald. The Republican Party deserves a serious discussion of the issues so voters can choose a leader they trust to defeat President Obama and turn our economy around. We are confident that leader will be Jon Huntsman."
Romney for President Kicks Off “Earn It With Mitt” In New Hampshire
Boston, MA – Tomorrow, Saturday, December 3, Romney for President will hold “Earn It With Mitt” in New Hampshire. Mitt Romney and Governor Tim Pawlenty will rally supporters in Manchester at 9:30 a.m. Following the rally, 500 volunteers from around the region will go door-to-door meeting New Hampshire voters and making calls to voters across the state. The volunteers will knock on 5,000 doors, make 12,000 phone calls, and put together 10,000 yard signs and distribute 5,000 to New Hampshire residents.
“Governor Romney takes New Hampshire’s First in the Nation Primary very seriously,” said Romney for President New Hampshire State Director Jason McBride. “We have focused on running a traditional grassroots New Hampshire campaign, and during this time, Mitt Romney has come to know the voters through our numerous town hall meetings and other visits throughout the Granite State. He shares their devotion to ‘Simpler, Smaller, and Smarter’ government and the need for Washington to be more accountable to the taxpayers. Mitt Romney will continue to visit New Hampshire and reach out to voters as he seeks to fix our economy and restore our country’s fiscal health. ‘Earn It With Mitt’ is one of the many steps that Mitt Romney, the campaign, and its volunteers and supporters will take to earn the support of voters in the run up to the New Hampshire primary.”
