Mitt Romney To Visit Jacksonville

POSTED: Tuesday, September 18, 2007

The parade of Republican candidates for president coming through North Florida continues on Tuesday with Mitt Romney scheduled to stop in Orange Park.

Former senator and actor Fred Thompson made his first Florida campaign appearance at the Jacksonville Landing last Friday and the Republican leading the polls, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, was in Jacksonville in July.

Romney, the former one-term governor of Massachusetts, is planning an "Ask Mitt Anything" town-hall meeting at St. Johns River Community College at 5:30 p.m. at the Thrasher-Horne Conference Center, 283 College Drive.

Organizers asked that people attend the event and bring items to send to military men and women serving overseas.

Romney made news over the weekend by saying the president of Iran shouldn't be allowed to address the U.N. General Assembly next week. Instead, Romney said Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should be greeted "with an indictment under the Genocide Convention."

He made that recommendation in a letter to the U.N. secretary-general, which he posted on his campaign Web site.
