Romney lobbied for STAPLES to be the official 2002 Olympics office supplies supplier. Romney lobbied the Salt Lake board to change their contract for office supplies from OFFICE DEPOT and give it to STAPLES, a company Bain and Romney had a financial interest - OFFICE DEPOT was offered $$$ to withdraw their contract; they declined.

Romney was on the Board at STAPLES at the time he lobbied to make STAPLES the official office supplier of the 2002 Olympics - an obvious conflict of interest. How many more conflicts of interest will we learn about if Mitt Romney releases his financial records?
