Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has articulated his vision for Americas future in an election-year tumult of campaign speeches and media interviews; now, this essential collection of Romneys direct quotes, past and present, is an invaluable primer that crystallizes his stance on domestic and social issues; national security; the economy; health care; and much more. Here, too, are his comments on his personal life, family, and faithkey insights into the man himself, in his own words. I do not define my candidacy by my religion.
