Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate for the President of the United States, will give a speech at the NAACP Convention today in Houston, Texas.

Have you heard of the name Buddy Roemer during all the GOP Presidential Primary chatter? Yeah, me neither. During my normal morning routine of checking news sources, I was introduced to Buddy Roemer, a Republican running for President. So why haven’t we heard of him in the national media? A former governor and congressman, it was overwhelming [...]
