This article can be verified at www.snopes.com. It is completely true.

Unlike most urban legends, this one is 100% true. It is detailed on
Snopes (just type in "Mitt Romney and Robert Gay's daughter") or
easier still, here's the link:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/romney/search.asp
.


Whether you like Romney or not, this story is very revealing. I hope
the Republican Party is still the party of family values and
character.

Sometimes, this facet of Romney's personality isn't so subtle. 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 and 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."

So, here's my epiphany: Mitt Romney simply can't help himself. He sees
a problem, and his mind immediately sets to work solving it, sometimes
consciously, and sometimes not-so-consciously. He doesn't do it for
self-aggrandizement, or for personal gain. He does it because that's
just how he's wired.

Many people are unaware of the fact that when Romney was asked by his
old employer, Bill Bain, to come back to Bain & Company as CEO to
rescue the firm from bankruptcy, Romney left Bain Capital to work at
Bain & Company for an annual salary of one dollar. When Romney went
to the rescue of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, he accepted no salary
for three years, and wouldn't use an expense account. He also accepted
no salary as Governor of Massachusetts.

Character counts! The media and Obama re-election machine will focus
on Romney's wealth and the immorality of it, as they see it, but
Romney is a man who uses his wealth to bless and to make this world a
better place. Let's get this message out because it is not likely
that the media will do so!

    We ALL need to come together in November. Put aside our differences on Ron Paul, Santorum, Newt, whatever. We have a job to do. We need to remove the worst person ever to occupy the white house. If we let our egos dictate our decisions, America loses, not just our own selfish needs. Remember; ABO!

    More and more will come out about Mitt Romney and I feel very strongly that people are going to REALLY like this this man.
    This is one story Dan..thanks for printing it. All will be hearing many more.
    Mitt Romney is not only smart..but a great human being as well,.
    Because of his humbleness (yet he is STRONG) it will be up to others who know him well...to spread the truth about him.
    Thank you Dan.
    If something is true..IT MUST BE PRINTED.

    You got that right!!!

    I was sent a poll. It is a poll to vote for your dream team. ONLY, when I tried to "drag" New't photo in the position where they had "Romney's Photo" it wouldn't allow me to replace

    Romney with Newt or anyone else for that matter. It would allow me to drag the photo to VP position. I immediately hit "return" and wrote this in the subject line: "DO NOT SHOVE ROMNEY DOWN OUR THROATS!"
    They did receive it because I did NOT get the usual "un-deliverable" sent back to me. I made this viral... and when my contacts tried to do the same -- the email address had been abandoned and it did come back as "un-deliverable".
    I went back to the dream ticket site and there was a small comment section in the upper right hand corner. Again, I wrote DO NOT SHOVE ROMNEY DOWN OUR THROATS!"
    It doesn't matter if you are for or against Romney -- go leave a comment....This is NOT how Americans normally elect people.. This must be stopped!
    Think about it. Romney worked with Soros to approve this!

    With a little research, I found out that Soros had created this:
    Republicans are being led to the polls by the RBC? who's leader is a friend of Geo. Soro's.And how he fixed every State to favor Mitt no matter who the

    people voted for.

    What must be stopped is all this conspiracy thinking. Not a word that you just wrote is true..not a word.
    Romney busted his arse 24/7 for every vote he got. Do you have a TV..or read a newspaper? How about going to hear anyone speak?
    Nothing is shoved down your throat..NOTHING.
    If you actually believe what you just wrote....don't vote. No one wants you to compromise your 'vast conspiracy' thoughts. Watch the election results in Nov...and if Obama wins...feel the joy. You earned it.

    I also hear that Mitt Romney tithes his income, giving 10% right off the top. You're right, the press won't print stuff like the rescue of the girl, and the tithing. Main stream media is totally owned by someone who is pro-administration. Could be controlling interest is held by Islam, who knows? From the way he treated P.M. Netanyahu, when he came here the first time, it's hard to know where BHO's head is.

    "President George Bush, President Barack Obama, and presidential hopeful Mitt Romney all work for the exact same handful of corporate-financier interests. While they vary in how they dress up their methods of carrying out what is essentially a singular agenda, there is glaring continuity from one administration to the next in a process analogous to a corporate spokesman presenting the agenda of the board of directors. Changing spokesmen doesn't change the agenda of the board of directors."

    It's still a direction of taking down the Constitution, denying individual rights as a sovereign people and tyranny where only those of corporate interests are heard.
