ROMNEY VICTORY EFFORT
RAISES $106.1 MILLION IN JUNE
Boston, MA – Today, Romney for
President, Romney Victory, and the Republican National Committee
announced fundraising totals of $106.1 million in June. The campaign
and RNC have approximately $160 million cash on hand.
Announcing the numbers, Romney Victory National Finance Chairman
Spencer Zwick said, “This month’s fundraising is a statement from
voters that they want a change of direction in Washington. Voters of
all stripes – Republicans, Independents, and Democrats – have made it
clear that President Obama has not lived up to the promises of his last
campaign. Mitt Romney’s message of restoring economic security and
rebuilding our middle class is clearly resonating across the country.
In the months to come, these resources will be crucial to highlighting
the difference between President Obama’s broken promises and Mitt
Romney’s plan to get America on the right track again.”
“Our June fundraising is a sign that voters are fed up with President
Obama’s failure to fix our economy and want a change of direction,”
said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. “While
President Obama thinks that the private sector is ‘doing fine,’
millions of Americans are struggling to find work, pay their bills and
stay in their homes. President Obama is clearly in over his head and
Americans deserve better. Mitt Romney will fix our economy, repeal
Obamacare, and get spending under control – that is why he is receiving
such strong support from voters across the country.”

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!"
