Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney addresses the 113th National Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Tuesday, July 24, 2012, in Reno.

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney will rally supporters in North Las Vegas on Friday before traveling to Reno for a series of private fundraisers.
The North Las Vegas campaign rally was added to Romney’s schedule at the last minute. The campaign had been considering a public event in Reno to coincide with the fundraisers, but decided against it out of respect for one of the victims in the Aurora, Colo., shooting.
Funeral services for former Reno resident Jonathan Blunk, who died shielding his girlfriend from bullets in the movie theater shooting, also are scheduled for Friday. In observance of the funeral, Romney will be doing no public or media events in Reno.
Instead, he will give a speech to supporters at Sierra Truck and Body Equipment in North Las Vegas. Doors open to the public at 7:15 a.m.
He then flies to Northern Nevada, where he’ll attend fundraisers hosted by Reno businesswoman Patty Wade and casino mogul Ben Fahari.
Contribution levels range from $2,500 for a general reception at Wade’s home to a $25,000 a plate luncheon at Fahari’s sprawling mansion in southwest Reno. For $50,000, donors will be awarded “preferred status” at the Republican National Convention.
A big, hearty Las Vegas welcome to...

Good businessmen and their casinos have some of the finest rugs imaginable.
Both candidates..these visits are orchestrated like a Broadway production. Arrive, shake mayors hand, handshake here and there with fawners, a few "I will do this"...clap clap, rah rah. Back on the jet. "lobster thermador Mr. Romney or Mr. President"?
Anyone buying into these visits as some sort of "he's here to guide us" should be institutionalized. What a scam. $300,000 later they are back home.
In this day an age you cannot even get a home mortgage without producing 3 years of tax returns including every page.
What kind of ego does Romney have to think he can apply for the highest position in this country and not produce his full tax returns.
This is no longer a joke. Romney has to put up or withdraw . Its time to put up or shut up forever.
If he wanted to apply for a position in government then he would have to produce those tax returns or he wouldn't be confirmed.
This jerk thinks he can just bluff and bluster his way to the Presidency.
I think he should re evaluate his position
sounds like a party *cough*
Willard.....
You greedy, anti-union republicans destroyed our
economy and our middle class.
And you have the nerve to talk against our great
president.
You need to hang your sorry head in shame.
We don't want you and we don't need you.
WE'RE KEEPING OUR GREAT PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!
SHOW US THE TAXES!
I can't get Nevada Plates registered for my car without giving up a smog free kidney!
How can anyone expect to be our choice for running The Free World if we know he's hiding something? Paying taxes is important, what are you hiding?
Tricky Mitt Romney thought his disastrous overseas tour would get the American voters' minds off his taxes: Wrong. Fact is that Tricky Mitt comes out more each day as a deceitful flip-flopper than as a duplicitous, wimpy candidate who obsesses to takeover the oval office. When you are running for president, you should be an open book. Tricky Mitt is no different from Bernard Madoff and Tricky Dick (Pres. Richard Nixon). For 50 years (half a century since 1960) Madoff was not charged with $65 billion fraud because of power, influence, bribery= secretly known as not a lawbreaker like Tricky Mitt and Madoff would never have been caught had he not voluntarily confessed.Senator Harry Reid himself is standing by his statement in going for the jugular with his two evidence that Tricky Mitt did not pay taxes for 10 years which is why Sen. John McCain didn't choose him for VP. Seriously, Tricky Mitt cannot wait to buy the Presidency. This tax-cheating flip-flopper cannot be trusted to run for President and does not even have the decency or integrity to admit mistakes even if all evidences are jumping out at him.
A casino owner? That is drinking and gambling? Money more important than morality? OK Mitt. That casino owner, his name sounds "foreign" too. I thought you said we should be aware of "foreigners" like OBAMA?
Casino mogul? One place in Reno? http://www.hotstocked.com/companies/m/mo...
Mitt Romney is coming off as the Republican version of Michael Dukakis now, wow...
That business gets business from the government for their dump trucks.
@Tom1228: Great comment!!
@BeSafer: LOLOL You're a hoot. Too bad there are people who live in Nevada and Las Vegas who are not from California.
Mitt Romney going to North Las Vegas???? He probably didn't know NLV existed until one of his lackeys found it accidently on a map.
I DARE him to campaign on the corner of MLK and Lake Mead Blvd.
Even Oblamer wouldn't go near MLK and Lake Mead. Welcome pending President Romney. All polls show you have Nevada in the bag....
