Governor Mitt Romney Statement On Memorial Day

Governor Mitt Romney Statement On Memorial Day

Boston, MA - The Romney for President Exploratory Committee released the following statement from Governor Romney on Memorial Day:

“As we observe Memorial Day, we owe thanks to the many Americans who have fought and died to defend our country. Their courage, their willingness to lay down their lives, reminds us that the United States is not a country like any other. Rather, we are an exceptional nation. Those patriots who are on the battlefields today or have gone to battlefields in the past, some never to return, have left us a stronger country, a great nation that, whatever its divisions, shines as a beacon of liberty before the peoples of the world. Memorial Day is a solemn day, but it is also a holiday of barbecues and family gatherings and vacations. Today, let us give remembrance and respect to those who have sacrificed everything to keep us safe.

DFL Honors Hubert Humphrey on 100th Anniversary of His Birth

DFL Honors Hubert Humphrey on 100th Anniversary of His Birth

Party founder was a progressive leader, civil rights activist, champion of programs that still help so many Minnesotans today

St. Paul (May 27, 2011) — Today is the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Hubert H. Humphrey. State DFL Chair Ken Martin released this statement:

“Hubert H. Humphrey was relentless supporter of progressive ideals, who pushed our state and nation forward on civil rights and was a champion of the government programs that so many Americans depend on today.

“The DFL Party exists because of Hubert Humphrey. As a professor more than 50 years ago, he joined the Democratic and Farmer–Labor parties and united people around our state under the common values of community, opportunity and fairness for all people. He united us all around the idea that our party is the party working to create a better life for Americans.

“Hubert Humphrey pushed us all, and especially Democrats, to lead on civil rights, to look out for our nation’s elderly, poor and most vulnerable, and to stand up for the progressive ideals that ensure that we all do better when we all do better.

“So today, we honor our state’s leader and our country’s ‘happy warrior’ for his lifetime of service to our party, our state, and our nation. We owe him a great deal of gratitude and we are proud to honor him every day, but especially on the 100th anniversary of his birth.”

Nicole Schlinger Joins Pawlenty Campaign

Nicole Schlinger Joins Pawlenty Campaign

URBANDALE – Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced today that Nicole Schlinger, recognized as the leading Republican fundraising professional in Iowa and one of the state’s top organizers, has joined his presidential campaign.

Schlinger founded Campaign Headquarters in 1999 to provide candidates with professional fundraising and event management services.  The firm, based in Brooklyn, Iowa, has grown to provide high-quality live telephone voter contact services to conservative candidates, initiatives, and causes nationwide.

Schlinger is the most prolific political fundraiser in Iowa Republican history for candidates ranging from city council members to governors. She was also the Straw Poll Director for Mitt Romney’s victorious 2007 Iowa Presidential Straw Poll campaign.

Prior to founding Campaign Headquarters, Schlinger served as Finance Director of the Republican Party of Iowa. She is a 1995 summa cum laude graduate of Syracuse University with a bachelor’s degree in economics and policy studies.

“What speaks volumes to me about Nicole Schlinger’s professionalism and record of results is her favorite quote, ‘I’m going to succeed. The only question is whether or not you’re coming along for the ride.’ She knows the ride called the Iowa caucuses as well as anyone in the country,” Pawlenty said. “I appreciate her decision to join our campaign for the presidency and take the ride with us.”
