BOSTON (AP) — A conservative leader who once expressed concern about Mitt Romney's credentials announced Monday he was backing the Republican presidential contender.
"As he travels across the country, Governor Romney has outlined a blueprint to build a stronger America rooted in our common conservative principles," Paul Weyrich said in a statement. "With a clear conservative vision to move America forward, he will strengthen our economy, our military and our families."
Weyrich is chairman and chief executive officer of the Free Congress Foundation. He helped found the conservative Heritage Foundation and worked with the late Rev. Jerry Falwell to establish the Moral Majority.
