MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES “JUNTOS CON
ROMNEY” LEADERSHIP TEAMS IN 15 STATES
Boston, MA – Building on
the recent launch of his “Juntos con Romney” National Steering
Committee, Governor Mitt Romney today announced “Juntos con Romney”
leadership teams in 15 states, as well as three additional members of
his national steering committee.
“I am honored and humbled by the overwhelming support our campaign has
received from Hispanics across the country,” said Mitt Romney. “These
state leadership teams will play a key role in making sure Hispanic
voters know that they have an alternative come November. The Hispanic
community has felt first-hand the devastating effects of President
Obama’s failed economic policies and broken immigration promises.
Hispanic voters should know that I will work long and hard to earn
their trust and vote. And, when I am elected president, I intend to
keep all the promises I have made to them.”
“Our country needs a new direction,” said Adriana Fralick. “President
Obama has had nearly four years to fix the economy, but his liberal
policies have failed to help middle class families who are struggling
to make their mortgage payments, put gas in their cars, and send their
children to college. Mitt Romney spent his life in the private sector
and knows what it takes to free our country’s entrepreneurial spirit.
We stand with Mitt Romney because we believe in his pro-growth agenda
that will create more jobs and foster prosperity for all Americans.”
“President Obama has let down our Hispanic community. Instead of
spurring economic growth and job creation, his policies have held back
Hispanic small businesses and led to higher unemployment,” said Victor
Cabral. “We stand with Mitt Romney because he will empower Hispanic
entrepreneurs.”
“We had high hopes for President Obama, but he did not meet his
campaign promises on immigration reform. We need long-term solutions
that will reunite Hispanic families; the last thing we need is
last-minute, politically-motivated, and temporary measures from a
President who has not delivered for our community,” said Christine
Mastin.
“With Hispanic unemployment now soaring to 11 percent, it is clear
President Obama’s policies have particularly hurt the Hispanic
community,” said New Mexico Lt. Gov. John Sanchez. “In fact, President
Obama recently said ‘the private sector is doing fine,’ demonstrating
that he does not understand how to get the country back to work. Unlike
President Obama, Governor Romney has a proven record of success in the
private sector, giving him the knowledge and tools to foster job
creation and lasting prosperity in our communities.”

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!"
