General documentation

The Original 2006 "Mitt Romney Deception" Report  
Our 28-page comprehensive report
released in November, 2006, describing how Gov. Romney ran for office and governed as a liberal, despite his claims to the contrary. This covers a wide range or topics and is an essential read.



Right: Flyer passed out by Romney's gubernatorial campaign workers during "Gay Pride" week 2002. The Romney campaign tried to disavow any knowledge of this flyer in early 2012, but 2002 campaign workers confirmed it here and here. One said, "He had a ton of gay people on his campaign in senior positions." (Since he continues to say he supports "gay rights," why would he want to disavow it?)

 

See for yourself: VIDEOS of Romney in his own words – Video clips (23) of former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney on abortion, "gay" rights, gun control, federal stimulus, illegal immigration, more.

"I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose, and I am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard."
– Televised debate while running for Massachusetts governor, 2002.

MassResistance rebuts pro-Romney "Open Letter" posted on National Review Online by moderate pro-family Mass. groups. They attempt to defend Governor Romney's actions during the same-sex "marriage" fiasco and on abortion, but their letter yields mostly distortions and half-truths.

 

BOOKS by MassResistance researcher Amy L. Contrada:

 

Mitt Romney's Deception: His Stealth Promotion of "Gay Rights" and "Gay Marriage" in Massachusetts

(Softcover - only $19.95 on Amazon.com.)

This well documented 640-page history has over 900 detailed footnotes.

It is the most complete coverage yet of Mitt Romney's record on "gay rights," as well as an overall review of how "gay marriage" and the homosexual agenda in the schools came to Massachusetts – and ultimately to the rest of the country. See the video preview HERE.
How "Gay Marriage" Came to Massachusetts - Governor Mitt Romney's Failure in a Constitutional Crisis

E-Book – $4.95 on Amazon. Kindle Edition; can be read on any computer, IPhone, IPad, etc., with free reading apps (i.e., you do not need a Kindle device). With over 50 exclusive color photos and almost 300 detailed endnotes with live links.
The focus of these chapters is the constitutional crisis of “gay marriage” in Massachusetts (2002-2006) and Governor Mitt Romney’s lack of leadership. While candidate Romney is now pledging to appoint only strict constitutionalists to the federal bench, as Governor he unconstitutionally enforced a Massachusetts high court ruling – enabling the judicial activism he now says he opposes. Despite his claims that he did all he could to protect marriage, Romney’s failure to uphold the Massachusetts Constitution resulted in the illegal issuance of null-and-void marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Further, he had failed to support a strong, early marriage amendment proposal, and his later assurances that a constitutional amendment was sure to pass proved false.

Romney vs. Family Values: The Romney Administration's Radical Homosexual Programs Targeting Children in Massachusetts

E-Book – $4.95 on Amazon. Kindle Edition; can be read on any computer, IPhone, IPad, etc., with free reading apps (i.e., you do not need a Kindle device). With over 330 detailed endnotes with live links, and over 90 color photos.

Massachusetts has been the incubator for harmful sexual-radical programs directed at children. It was, after all, through the Governor’s Commission on Gay & Lesbian Youth that Kevin Jennings (GLSEN founder, “Fistgate” maestro, and Obama “Safe Schools Czar”) got his start in the early 1990s. Governor Romney was in reality an enabler of sexual radicals whose goal is the destruction of traditional family values. Yet, Romney claims to believe in traditional marriage and every child needing a home with a father and a mother.

While he was Governor, Romney donated $10,000 to radical homosexual "health" group. AIDS Action Committee of Mass. – a very destructive group, publisher of notorious "Little Black Book - Queer in the 21st Century."

Governor Romney issued Proclamations urging "all citizens to take cognizance of this event and participate fittingly in its observance." See his 2003 and 2004 Proclamations. He allowed their even more radical events to proceed in 2005 and 2006 (under his Commission's authority).

This is the front page of the hardcore Boston homosexual newspaper "Bay Windows" on August 31, 1994, when Mitt Romney was running for US Senate against Ted Kennedy.  Romney had told the homosexual activists, "I'll be better than Ted Kennedy on gay rights," andhe added, "There's something to be said for having a Republican who supports civil rights in this broader context, including sexual orientation."

 

As you can see in the articles above, he kept his promise.
