MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES “JUNTOS CON ROMNEY” LEADERSHIP TEAMS IN 15 STATES

Boston, MA – Building on the recent launch of his “Juntos con Romney” National Steering Committee, Governor Mitt Romney today announced “Juntos con Romney” leadership teams in 15 states, as well as three additional members of his national steering committee.
 
“I am honored and humbled by the overwhelming support our campaign has received from Hispanics across the country,” said Mitt Romney. “These state leadership teams will play a key role in making sure Hispanic voters know that they have an alternative come November. The Hispanic community has felt first-hand the devastating effects of President Obama’s failed economic policies and broken immigration promises. Hispanic voters should know that I will work long and hard to earn their trust and vote. And, when I am elected president, I intend to keep all the promises I have made to them.”
 
“Our country needs a new direction,” said Adriana Fralick. “President Obama has had nearly four years to fix the economy, but his liberal policies have failed to help middle class families who are struggling to make their mortgage payments, put gas in their cars, and send their children to college. Mitt Romney spent his life in the private sector and knows what it takes to free our country’s entrepreneurial spirit. We stand with Mitt Romney because we believe in his pro-growth agenda that will create more jobs and foster prosperity for all Americans.”
 
“President Obama has let down our Hispanic community. Instead of spurring economic growth and job creation, his policies have held back Hispanic small businesses and led to higher unemployment,” said Victor Cabral. “We stand with Mitt Romney because he will empower Hispanic entrepreneurs.”
 
“We had high hopes for President Obama, but he did not meet his campaign promises on immigration reform. We need long-term solutions that will reunite Hispanic families; the last thing we need is last-minute, politically-motivated, and temporary measures from a President who has not delivered for our community,” said Christine Mastin.
 
“With Hispanic unemployment now soaring to 11 percent, it is clear President Obama’s policies have particularly hurt the Hispanic community,” said New Mexico Lt. Gov. John Sanchez. “In fact, President Obama recently said ‘the private sector is doing fine,’ demonstrating that he does not understand how to get the country back to work. Unlike President Obama, Governor Romney has a proven record of success in the private sector, giving him the knowledge and tools to foster job creation and lasting prosperity in our communities.”

WASHINGTON, June 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former Presidential Candidate Gary Bauer congratulated Governor Scott Walker for his win in Wisconsin's recall election, calling it "another sign that taxpayers will award office holders ready to do the hard work of reigning in out-of-control government spending."

Bauer, the chairman of the Campaign for Working Families,  made the following statement:

"I congratulate Governor Scott Walker for his hard-fought victory tonight, and most especially for having the courage of his convictions to fight the good fight. But the victory in Wisconsin is not Scott Walker's alone.  It is a victory for the hard-working taxpayers of Wisconsin, who foot the bill year after year.  It is a victory for common sense over powerful special interests.  It is a victory that taxpayers in every state can celebrate.  It is a victory, yes, even for some union members.

"Since Gov. Walker's reforms were enacted, tens of thousands of state employees have opted to keep more of the money they earn rather than let the public employees union siphon off their hard-earned dollars.  In other words, once given the choice, more than half of the public employees union's members decided that they didn't need the union.  These reforms will pay real dividends for the taxpayers of Wisconsin.  They are the real winners tonight.

"The recall election is a sign of good things to come.  The power of the Big Labor bosses has finally been checked, not just in Wisconsin, but also in scores of other states across the country.  More governors, legislators and taxpayers will be inspired to stand up against the liberal labor unions and do what is truly in the best interests of their communities.  Wisconsin's 10 Electoral College votes are now in play, and the anti-tax, small government movement that swept the country in 2010 is about to sweep Barack Obama out of office in 154 days!"
