As governor, Romney raised fees, which generated an additional $400 million in revenue in their first year, according to Factcheck.org, a nonpartisan website that examines candidates' statements.

Off topic.

Do you own a 'Vaquero'?
Is so can I ask you a couple questions about it in a Freepmail, or the other Colt SAA clones now out there?

Thanks in advance.

I'll be gone in and for a while, have to take our puppy to the Vet shortly.

FID fee doubles to $100, and it takes three times as long to process. All this under the liberal Romney.
