The ramblings of a devoted NFL football, TV, film and music junkie. The Green Bay Packers are my favorite football team in the entire world. I have been a fan since I was 11 or 12 and I am NOT from Wisconsin. I love old films and I cry at pretty much anything. Reading is also a favorite thing of mine to do and my passion is...POLITICS. One day, vote for me, okay? Okay? Thanks.
Broken Promises: Romney’s Massachusetts Record
Mitt Romney ran for Governor of Massachusetts promising more jobs, decreased debt, and smaller government.
Here’s what Massachusetts got instead:
Jobs: 47th out of 50 states in job creation
Taxes and fees: Increased more than $750 million per year
Long-term debt: Increased more than $2.6 billion
Fact is, Romney economics didn’t work then, and won’t work now.Learn more: http://www.RomneyEconomics.com

So, after months of sitting at home watching any and all TV shows on Netflix or ones that I own, I finally have purpose in my life.
One day, while watching the Rachel Maddow show, I remember hearing something to the effect of “Doing something you love” or “Following your passion.” Directly from that point, I got on the Internet and went to the Nueces County Democratic Party website. I saw that there was a meeting for an organization called Coastal Bend Young Democrats. In February, I attended the meeting and a month later, I was voted in as Vice President.
Since March, as Vice President, I have been busy and feel incredibly fulfilled. There are meetings, organizing, planning, making deals, creating ads, creating Press Releases, and being the webmaster of THREE websites.
I am also now volunteering as a speech writer and policy advisor for a District 27 Congressional Candidate (Rose Meza-Harrison).
I have met judges, attorneys, state senators. I worked at the Nueces County Senatorial Convention and was selected as a State Delegate for the Texas Democratic Party being held in Houston. And I am going to file to run as a Precinct 53 Chair, which is an elected position and is in charge of getting out the vote within the precinct. I cannot wait.
I LOVE POLITICS. AND I FINALLY FEEL AMAZING ABOUT THE DIRECTION MY LIFE HAS TAKEN. :)

"I just wanna thank the members of Congress who took a break from their exhausting schedule of not passing any laws to be here tonight "
“One of the things I found in a short campaign against Ted Kennedy was that when I said, for instance, that I wanted to eliminate the Department of Education, that was used to suggest I don’t care about education. So I think it’s important for me to point out that I anticipate that there will be departments and agencies that will either be eliminated or combined with other agencies. So for instance, I anticipate that housing vouchers will be turned over to the states rather than be administered at the federal level, and so at this point I think of the programs to be eliminated or to be returned to the states, and we’ll see what consolidation opportunities exist as a result of those program eliminations. So will there be some that get eliminated or combined? The answer is yes, but I’m not going to give you a list right now.”
Will the Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up?
