Romney's Record as Governor: F Minus

Romney's Record as Governor: F Minus

At a time when creating jobs in this nation is top priority, Mitt Romney is running for president on a record in which Massachusetts under his years as governor was 47th in job creation. Worse, Romney apparently didn’t care—when state customer service call center jobs were outsourced to India, Romney vetoed legislation to stop the practice.

This and more info on the Romney record are available at our new Meet Mr. 1% website.

The Outsourcer in Chief further put the squeeze on middle-class families while governor by raising fees they pay while fighting to keep tax breaks for the wealthy.

But, to be fair, he did move Massachusetts to first place in one ranking: The state with the highest debt per capita.

If you think Romney’s record is bad news for America’s working families, send this information along via Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

If you don’t want to see Romney’s record as Massachusetts governor repeated on a national scale, take action and pledge to vote this November.
