Truth Team 
Today, Mitt Romney launched a shameless attack on the President, taking
part of a statement he had made earlier about getting our economy back on
track, and twisting it completely out of context.
As always, here are the straight facts: The President urged Congress to
pass his jobs plan, noting that much of the job creation we've seen has
been in the private sector. Remember, this is the guy who came into office
in the midst of an economic crisis and helped turn it around to an economy
that has seen 27 months of private sector jobs growth in a row, with 4.3
million jobs. The President said that while we still have more work to do
in the private sector, it's doing fine compared to the public sector.
Here's what Romney turned that into: He as if the President said the
economy is doing fine. That's right the man who said he likes to be able
to fire people called our president out of touch, and then went on to
criticize President Obama's jobs plan: "He says we need more firemen, more
policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message from Wisconsin? ...
It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people."
Apparently, Mitt Romney has decided we need fewer jobs for middle-class
Americans, not more.
This is a perfect example of how the Truth Team can help. If anybody
questions why Congress needs to pass the President's jobs plan while the
Romney campaign is still out parading this latest distortion, kindly point
them to our first item in this week's tipsheet:
 #1 Tell Congress jobs can't wait 
We released a new ad this week asking supporters to join President Obama in
calling on Congress to pass his bipartisan plan to create jobs right away.
The plan isn't new the President introduced it nine months ago in an
address to Congress. But congressional Republicans are still refusing to
act. Apparently, defeating the President in November is more important to
leaving teachers, construction workers, and many other Americans without
work and waiting.
This common-sense plan would put into action the ideas the President has
laid out for jobs, including cutting taxes for small businesses that hire
or raise wages and for companies that bring jobs home, expanding
refinancing for responsible homeowners, creating a jobs corps for our
veterans, and making smart investments in clean energy manufacturing. Take
a look at the ad,
 share it, and ask your friends and family to join us in telling
Republicans in Congress to start putting country ahead of politics, and get
Americans back to work.
