Romney's Decisions had Consequences: Obama super PAC adviser: 'What fact in that ad is wrong?'

Bill Burton, the main face of Priorities USA Action, refused to back away from an ad that the pro-President Obama super PAC unveiled yesterday about Joe Soptic, who talks in the spot about losing his job at a Bain Capital-owned steel company when the plant was shut, and how he lost his health insurance and his wife lost hers, and she got sick a short time later and died within 22 days of a cancer diagnosis.  How many other people have a similar Bain story ....?

Just Some Food for Thought....Take a Minute to Check out Some of the Links/Articles Below.  Some are Funny, and Some, Rightfully so, Are Not as Funny! | Educating Voters and Promoting the Vote | Scoop.it

“Does how much money you have make you better than other human beings? Should money provide people with greater BASIC privileges and BASIC rights? Should money mean different rules and different laws?


Can an average citizen's voice compete with the voice of large corporations, whose goods and services we often buy?


Should The Supreme Court be influenced by money before a decision?


If money becomes speech, how about when people that lose their jobs, should they be silent? Are we a democracy or a plutocracy?


Should banks use tax payer money to take away tax payers' rights to ensure they never have to suffer another financial collapse?

If money is equal to speech and 93% of the economic gains since 2010 benefited the top 1% what will happen to the voice and votes of the 99%? What will happen to tax policy if money equalled speech?”

The 3 M's Mitt Won't Talk About...

1) Money--How he got it; what he does with it...

2) Mormonism--what it means to him...

3) Massachusetts--what occurred there during his tenure...for better or worse...

From how he avoided taxes...to the impact of Mormonism on his secretive practices...to his flip flopping for expediency sake on the Affordable Heath Care Act after he successfully implemented a version of it in Mass. ....Do you really want a President who is hiding so much???

Think Mitt Romney Would Treat You Better Than His Olympic Horse? Think Again.

Think Mitt Romney Would Treat You Better Than His Olympic Horse? Think Again. | Educating Voters and Promoting the Vote | Scoop.it

Straight from the horse's mouth...." 

A MoveOn original.

“In our ad, voters hear the truth about Mitt Romney straight from the horse’s mouth: Romney seems to think many Americans deserve to be treated worse than a horse. There’s nothing wrong with taking good care of a horse, but there’s something messed up about a millionaire who spends twice what most Americans make in a year caring for a horse, but wants to take away people’s health care and offshore their jobs. We’re rooting for Rafalca and all of our Olympians to bring home the gold, but we’re sure not rooting for Mitt Romney to send jobs overseas. Voters had best steer clear of Romney unless they’re looking for a ride on a one-trick trickle down pony.”
