We are deeply troubled by your campaign’s recent advertisements and statements about welfare, which we believe demonize the families we serve and reflect a woeful lack of knowledge about the challenges faced by tens of millions of Americans. By accepting our invitation, we hope that you will have the opportunity to see firsthand the struggles of those in need and have the compassion to desist your campaign’s harsh attacks.
We are all God’s children and equal in God’s eyes. Efforts to divide us by class or score political points at the expense of the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters reveal the worst side of our country’s politics. Please accept our invitation to witness and to serve.

Do they not realize that he’s rich? What would a bunch of women who took a vow of poverty know that he doesn’t?
These silly religious folks should realize that their job is to numb the people to the exploitation of the entitled elites.
Here is an idea_–If ROmney is so for people why doesn’t he use th emajority of his millions to help people pay their mortgages, their bills, and create jobs?
What is better a millionare president ruling starving, homeless people or a poor president leading a healthy vibrant nation filled with people who love him?
