Twilight of the Vote


       November 6, 2012. Presidential election day. It has now come down to the wire. Will there be enough people who bought into Romney's campaign of hate, fear, and outright lies to put him into office? Or will President Barack Obama's campaign of facts and fairness give him four more years to repair the damage done by Bush and the Republican party?

       As you look at the photos above, please take a moment to think of what the caption should be. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words!

       In a desperate attempt to turn a failing campaign around, Romney and the RNC sunk to a new low by lying about the president wanting to send Chrysler's Jeep production to China. Not only did Chrysler and General Motors (GM) rebuke Romney's lie, each organization had to reassure their employees that their jobs are staying in the US.

       According to President Obama's record, he has worked hard to bring jobs back to American shores, and continues to do so with moderate success despite the overt obstructionism from republicans in the House of Representatives.

       Based on what Mitt Romney said about Chrysler and the auto industry, he should be brought up on ethical violation charges after he loses the election. As for his campaign, Romney has continued to champion more tax breaks for the rich, de-regulate Wall Street, and allow organizations to SHIP JOBS OVERSEAS!

       This is not a hard decision to make. Undecided voters should know and understand that under a Romney/Ryan administration, their investments in Social Security and Medicare will disappear. Their job may be reduced or exported. Their pay may shrink either by having "fees" (taxes) added to their paychecks and/or a nation-wide "right-to-work" policy will be signed into law thus nullifying OSHA, EEOC, and hollow out Civil Rights to give organizations rights over their employees and strip employees right to have a voice in the workplace.

       Simply put, if you make $250,000 up to a million dollars per year, you're the middle-class Romney has classified. If not, then you're the 47% moochers and freeloaders that Romney sees and has talked about throughout his campaign and has no interest in helping.

       As Americans, it is your right and civic duty to vote. Please do so before that right is taken away by Republicans and their voter suppression laws.
