[Music] TEXT: Al Zarzour
                         Lyndhurst, OH

Al Zarzour: Grew up here in Lyndhurst, started 1972, selling cars.

Male Announcer: In 2009, under the Obama Administration’s bailout of General Motors, Ohio dealerships were forced to close.

Al Zarzour: I received a letter from General Motors. They were suspending my credit line. We had thirty-some employees that were out of work.

My wife and I were the last ones there. You know, it was like the dream that we worked for, and that we worked so hard for, was gone.

Romney (voiceover): I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this message.


Notes: According to the press release, "In 2009, General Motors, led by the Obama Administration, closed over a thousand auto dealerships across the country. For these small businesses, hope and change was not so kind."
