Thousands bused, walked, biked and drove into Holland State Park in Michigan Tuesday to watch the presumptive Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, speak.
“Romney has the credentials I feel (are) necessary to fix the problems America has with regards to the economy,” said the Rev. Ira Combs Jr. as he waited for Romney to arrive.
Jon Peterson, of Holland, brought all five of his children to the rally, saying, “We want them being involved in the American process.” They range in age from 10 to 18. This will be his daughter Leah Marie Peterson’s first presidential election. She was impressed with Romney’s speech.
“It’s not too late for us to change,” she said.
“I was impressed. I really liked the way he very simply and clearly articulated the way we need to revive a hope in America,” said her father.
Charlotte Ambrose, of Comstock Park, remembered meeting Romney’s father, then-Michigan Gov. George Romney, many years ago.
The retired teacher wasn’t politically active until recently.
“I wanted to see a change in government. I’m doing everything I can to support that,” she said. “I’m worried about the impact on my grandchildren of the huge debt and the fact that the United States is being apologized for. ... We really needn’t apologize.”
