From: Matt Rhoades, Campaign Manager To: Interested Parties Date: September 19, 2012 Re: Two Visions for America To View This Memo Online, Click Here: http://mi.tt/OEflhw 48 days remain until Election Day. As the choice voters face comes into greater focus, the different visions that Mitt Romney and Barack Obama have for America are becoming more sharply defined. Mitt Romney's vision for America is an opportunity society, where free people and free enterprise thrive and success is admired and emulated, not attacked. President Obama's vision for America is a government-centered society, where government grows bigger and more active, occupying more of our everyday lives. In a newly-unearthed set of remarks, we can hear Barack Obama in his own words advocating for government as a means to redistribute wealth: "[T]he trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure everybody's got a shot." Mitt Romney has a very different idea. He knows that we need to foster growth and create wealth, not redistribute wealth, if our economy is to grow the way it has in the past. We don't have to look far to see the failure of President Obama's approach. We can look at his record. First came the stimulus - and nearly a trillion dollars of government spending later, the unemployment rate is almost 3 percentage points higher than where President Obama projected it would be. Then came Obamacare. Even though it has yet to take effect, businesses are already grappling with the new taxes, regulations, controls, and bureaucracies that are impeding hiring and adding to our uncertainty. We are experiencing the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression. More Americans than ever before are in poverty or on food stamps. President Obama's government-heavy policies have not worked, and we need a new direction. Mitt Romney places his trust in the American people, not in government. His plan includes tax relief to spur growth and increase take-home pay, trade policies that allow American companies to compete and win, and a commitment to championing small business as the engine of our economic growth. Policies like these define what an opportunity society is all about. There is no doubt that Americans are not better off today than they were four years ago, and this race is a choice between two very different visions. In the next 48 days, Governor Romney will describe the difference in these visions and what that difference means for our future. Americans don't want the next four years to look like the last four. We believe they'll elect a president who will restore the American promise for everyone. Mitt Romney will be that president. "Medicare is going broke. It's not politics. It's math. We can save Medicare for current retirees, if we accept that Medicare will be different for younger Americans than it is for their parents." On this website there is a page called Great Political Videos. If you would like a quick laugh everybody should check it out. The Video feed is below. There is over 20 political videos. "Hard Work, Not Redistribution, Built Our Econom" - Congressman Paul Ryan In the state of Colorado which has 9 electoral votes Mitt Romney has increased a bit in the latest RCP election average. The RCP average gives Barack Obama 47.3% and Mitt Romney 46.0%. If you look on the graph below taken from RCP, Governor Romney is increasing and Barack Obama is falling in this poll average. Four years ago Barack Obama won this state by a nice margin. Four years later Barack Obama is having trouble defending this state. I do believe Colorado will switch to the republicans this election.
"Is it any wonder that someone who attacks success has led the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression?" "President Obama is ruining the coal industry and it's affecting real people across the country. We have 250 years of coal. Why wouldn't we use it?" |
