A president who works for everyone

July 13, 2012

Progressive Point: At a time when many Virginia families are struggling, we need a president who fights for an economy that works for everyone. But Mitt Romney's top priorities are protecting CEO's, corporate profits, and his friends in the 1%. Virginia families need leaders who put us first. Mitt Romney's record is pioneering the practice of shipping work from the United States to overseas, and his stated plan if elected is to lay off teachers, firefighters, and police officers here at home.

Mitt Romney, his corporate lobbyists, right-wing allies aren't interested in fixing Virginia's economy or finding solutions for Virginia families. Mitt Romney's plan to lay off our firefighters, cops, and teachers wouldn't just hurt our families and our kids--it would hurt our businesses, too. Virginia needs a president who puts jobs ahead corporate donors.

Get the Facts:

• Mitt Romney's economic plan would cut potentiall over ten billion dollors that goes to police officers, firefighters, and teachers based on an analysis from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. (Washington Post, June 13, 2012)


• As many as 6,000 jobs were lost under Bain Capitol during the time period the Boston Globe is reporting Mitt Romney was still at the company that he is attempting to deny. (ThinkProgress, July 12, 2012)
