: How "Romney Care" Saved My Life.
At the age of 25, I was working around 35+ hr/wk at $12hr as a Sales Assistant in Portland, Oregon. Additionally, I went to school full-time, on campus, after I got off my shift at 6pm. I paid for everything on my own. Because I did not own a car, I relied on public transportation to get around….

Mitt Romney rose up to Gingrich’s challenge and simply defeated him where Gingrich was thought to be strongest: on the debate stage.
Family First
In July 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain Capital, had disappeared. She had attended a rave party in New York City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea where she was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find Gay’s daughter. Romney set up a command center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to assist with the search. He established a toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York, and asked them to help find his friend’s missing daughter. Romney’s accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper. Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked with everyone they could – prostitutes, drug addicts – anyone.
That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a teenage boy phoned in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to a home in New Jersey, where they found the girl in the basement, shivering and experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose. Doctors later said the girl might not have survived another day. Romney’s former partner credits Mitt Romney with saving his daughter’s life, saying, “It was the most amazing thing, and I’ll never forget this to the day I die.”

Gingrich was wrong.

Ex-Gingrich Adviser Now Trying to Close Lobbying Loopholes : Roll Call Politics
Gingrich said he had hired “an expert in lobbying law” to make sure he never did anything that would qualify him as a lobbyist.
Susman confirmed that he trained staff members at Gingrich’s firm, then known as the Gingrich Group. He declined to go into the details of his advice to Gingrich but said the definition of a federal lobbyist is clear: someone who spends at least 20 percent of his time for each client on lobbying activity and also makes two contacts with covered government officials.
“There is a clear line at 20 percent,” Susman said. “At 19 percent, even if you get $100,000 for your advice, you’re not required to register under federal law. It’s fairly clean.”
