Before introducing myself, I would to say I am very thankful for having the opportunity to contribute to the My Man Mitt blog. I also post at the MichigandersforRomney blog.

I am Ryan Thompson, a junior double majoring in political science and history at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan. At Hillsdale, I am the Chair of the College Republicans and have been helping the campaign as a volunteer along with working at the school library and maintaining on the Dean’s List. I have lived in several states including North Carolina, California, Pennsylvania, and now Michigan.

I have been a fan of Mitt Romney since before he even ran for Governor. His work with the Utah Olympics was impressive to say the least, but based on his record in the private sector it should be no surprise how successful he was at turning the games around and making a profit for the people of Utah. He brought this track record of success to the office of Governor by balancing the state budget by cutting the size of government and not raising taxes. I come from a family who champions success and fiscal responsibility, and Mitt more than fits this mentality with his record.

Along with his record of success in turning faltering organizations around, Mitt has the right vision to put this nation on the right track for the 21st Century. We must meet the challenges facing our nation from abroad and at home with innovation and the power of individuals not government. Mitt has proven time and again his support for using the power of individuals not the government to fix problems that most others would view as hopeless.

Most importantly, Mitt has lived a life based on strong moral character that should be expected of our leaders. Mitt will lead our nation to a strong and prosperous future where my family will live for generations to come. These are the reasons I am proud to support Mitt Romney for President.
