Subject: It’s making them nervous
Dear Reader:
What’s the last thing we want in a president? A record of cutting jobs and piling on debt, just to make the 1% richer. That’s Romney and Bain Capital all over.1 Romney got rich laying off workers and crippling companies with debt.
Unfortunately, Democrat Cory Booker went on Meet the Press on Sunday and suggested that somehow it was wrong for the Obama campaign to raise questions about Romney’s time at Bain—and the Romney campaign is having a field day with it.
What’s the really good news? The hornets nest stirred up by Booker is getting media attention on exactly how Bain Capital and other “private equity” firms make money by giving the rest of us the shaft. Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich breaks it all down in this compelling new video, and now that so many people are talking about Bain, we should spread it widely!
The video’s so good that a group dedicated to defending Wall Street firms like Bain has attacked Reich over it. And if we can get the views way up, it will help grab the media’s attention to the damaging role Romney and Bain Capital has played in our economy. So watch it and then be sure to share it with everyone you know.

Professor Reich explains that when people in the 1% like Mitt Romney and his fellow private equity raiders scheme to fire people, cut benefits, and duck taxes, the 99% has to foot the bill.
That’s the story we want the media telling about Romney and his private equity days—and you can help make that happen, by sharing this video with everyone you know.
Thanks for all you do.
