Friend --

Yesterday, a leaked video from a closed-door fundraiser
showed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney telling
a room full of big-money donors that Americans who don't
support him think they're "victims" who don't "take
personal responsibility and care for their lives."

So rarely over the course of this campaign have we gotten
to hear Mitt Romney say what he believes in such a
revealing, unfiltered manner. This is one of those moments.
It's important that we make sure that the people in our
lives who are just tuning into this election know what
disdain and contempt Romney has for half of the citizens of
this nation he wants to lead. Take a look at the items in
this tipsheet, and then share them with others. 

#1 What Americans think of Romney's comments
The secret video shows that Romney believes nearly half of
all Americans won't take responsibility for their own lives
and don't pay taxes. Watch this video of Americans
listening and reacting to Romney's shocking comments, and
make sure others do too:

#2 Who Romney is writing off?
It's worth taking a second to look at some of the people
who make up the nearly half of the country that Romney has
so much disdain for. Who exactly are these people that
Romney rips for not paying income taxes? The overwhelming
majority are seniors, students, people with disabilities,
or working families. They pay payroll taxes, property
taxes, sales taxes, and more. Those working families
include U.S. soldiers in combat, receptionists,
firefighters, and clergy, just to name a few. Certainly,
those folks aren't short on personal responsibility. Read
this blog post highlighting some of the Americans that
Romney has written off, and share it with others:

#3 Romney's responsibility map
Romney has said that "my job is not to worry about" the
people who don't support him. But America needs a president
who will stand up for all Americans, not just the half of
the country who agrees with him. Take a look at this
graphic about Romney's idea of "responsibility" and post it
to your Facebook wall:
