Now mITT begins in earnest

Excerpts from Mitt's official Presidential announcement:

The best ally for peace in the world is a strong America.

Our influence must once again match our generosity.

Some believe America's strength comes from government... I believe the American people are the source of America's strength.

We strengthen America by increasing freedom, by letting people keep more of what they earn, and improving education and innovation.

America can't continue to lead the family of nations if we fail the family at home. How do we strengthen the family? By putting marriage before children: every child deserves a mother AND a father.

Mitt is right on. This is a tremendous opportunity. This may prove to be a chance to prove Joseph Smith and Brigham Young right: If the constitution is to be saved at all, it will be by the Elders of Israel. The most important issue of our time is strengthening the family. Mitt is the only candidate who knows about and believes in the Family Proclamation. Following that document is more important than any petty party platform.
