Notes: From the press
release...
Priorities USA Action today
released a new ad about the trail of broken promises Mitt Romney left
behind in
his business career, and a warning about the promises he's making right
now to
the American people.
“Same Promises” highlights the stories of people who
represent the
thousands of
middle class workers who lost their jobs, their pensions and their
health
benefits after Romney and his firm broke promises and bankrupted
companies. Today,
Mitt Romney promises to help the middle class but his agenda would hurt
hardworking families by turning Medicare into a voucher program,
cutting
education and raising taxes on the middle class.
The ad is part of a renewed multi-million
dollar effort on television and online to educate voters about Mitt
Romney’s
business record in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, Virginia and
Wisconsin. A series of related ads ran in key battleground states this
summer
and can be viewed at www.RealRomneyRecord.com.
“Mitt Romney is making promises to the
American people in the same way he made promises to the thousands of
middle
class workers whose lives were devastated by his business decisions,”
said Bill
Burton, senior strategist at Priorities USA Action. “If Romney claims
his
business experience is the reason he should be elected president, it's
important that voters know the impact that experience already had on
thousands
of middle class families.”
