COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney is in Colorado as he wins the Nevada caucus.

The former governor of Massachusetts spent Saturday talking to voters.

He said the upcoming election is about the course for America and the need for jobs, accusing President Obama of focusing too much attention on policies that don't help job growth.

"I would take advantage of energy resources, work to open up new markets for American goods, and crackdown on cheaters like China, that have been stealing American jobs," Romney said.

The grassroots rally touched on the need for freedom and opportunity, principles that made american successful, not more government.

"I think he takes his inspiration from the capitals of Europe and wants us to become more of an entitlement society, where government takes from some because the government thinks they're entitled to do it," Romney said.

Romney believes our government is too large and said his plan would cut government programs, then get America back on track with a balanced budget.

But before he can do that he needs the support of Colorado voters in Tuesday's caucus.
