The 2012 Elections: Bain Capital and Outsourcing

Jim -- The Washington Post reported this morning that "Mitt Romney's financial company, Bain Capital, invested in a series of firms that specialized in relocating jobs done by American workers to new facilities in low-wage countries like China and India." This is the same guy that goes around the campaign trail talking a huge game about being able to protect American jobs by standing up to foreign countries like China. But now we know that Romney and his partners made millions while sending American jobs overseas. This is a critical point, and we need to make sure everyone knows it. Check out this video I recorded today, and share it far and wide: Romney's support of outsourcing didn't just happen in the private sector. As governor of Massachusetts, he vetoed legislation that would have banned companies from shipping state jobs overseas -- and he actually outsourced state jobs to a call center in India. In contrast, President Obama has a jobs plan that could put up to a million people back to work -- including teachers, cops, firefighters, construction workers, and veterans -- help small businesses create jobs right now, and help to put an end to American jobs being shipped overseas. He's also fighting for tax breaks for companies that bring jobs back to America. Mitt Romney is fighting for tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas -- the type of companies he ran in the private sector. This isn't just a policy position for Romney, it's his economic philosophy -- and it's his record. Read the article, watch the video, and share them both far and wide -- doesn't get a lot more important than this one: http://my.barackobama.com/Romneys-Record-on-Outsourcing-Video Thanks, Stephanie
