 ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT LAUNCHES VIRGINIA YOUNG AMERICANS FOR ROMNEY COALITION

ARLINGTON, VA – Today, Washington Redskins Offensive Lineman Jordan Black will host the rollout the Virginia Young Americans for Romney coalition. Young Americans for Romney is the biggest GOP youth outreach effort in Virginia history, reaching more than 10,000 young Virginians each week, while our general get-out-the-vote effort reaches tens of thousands more.  
 
Our nation is at a turning point and young Americans can’t afford another four years like the last four years under President Obama’s failed policies. Today roughly half of all new college graduates cannot find full time work and are burdened with record amounts of student debt. For those without a college education, the job market is even worse. When Mitt Romney is president, he will work with Democrats and Republicans, put the interests of the American people first, and deliver the real recovery President Obama could only talk about. Gov. Romney can do it because he’s done it before in business and as Governor of Massachusetts. This election is a choice between the status quo and real change – change that offers promise that the future will be better than the past four years.
 
Details are as follows:
