Priorities USA have a new ad out that claims Mitt Romney’s tax plan will raise taxes up to $2000 for middle class families while giving multimillionaires a $250,000 tax break. Priorities USA ask, “doesn’t Mitt Romney understand? We can’t rebuild America by tearing down the middle class.”
“Forward is his campaign slogan. I think forewarned is a better term. We know what would happen if he were reelected, we’d see more years of high unemployment. We’d see more year of massive deficits. We’ve seen more years of almost no wage growth in this country. We’ve seen more years of a nation on the cusp of the kind of crisis you’ve seen in Europe. We’re forewarned and that’s why we’re not going to re-elect this man,” Mitt Romney said at a campaign event in Ohio today.

The NAACP and Brave New Films have teamed up together to produce a new video that takes on the voting laws that “roll back the clock and take away people’s right to vote.” According to Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films, “voter disenfranchisement is a very real issue that could affect more than 20 million voters this year.” He adds saying, “in 2011 there were 24 new laws and 2 executive actions restricting the right to vote in 19 states.* There is proposed legislation in 33 states right now that will further limit minorities, youth and senior citizens from voting. We have a chance to change people’s thinking on this issue.”
In the Weekly Republican Address, Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyoming) says, “The undeniable truth is, President Obama is on track to have the worst jobs record of any President since World War II. When the President was hyping his so-called stimulus program, his economic team claimed unemployment would not go above 8 percent… Instead, it’s been higher than 8 percent for 43 straight months.” Sen. Barrasso continues, “The President’s policies have failed to produce the results, accountability, and solutions the American people deserve. The Obama Administration is simply not moving our country forward.” Sen. Barrasso also says congressional Republicans are committed to creating jobs and getting our economy going in the right direction.
