 If you were as shocked as I was this week about Mitt Romney telling a small group of his high-dollar donors that 47 percent of the American population is dependent on government, pays no income taxes, and believes they are entitled to health care, food, and housing -- here's something you can do:
Channel that anger into something that helps ensure this guy never gets the chance to lead our country. Sign up to volunteer and help get out the vote here in Colorado for President Obama.
The most shocking thing about Romney's comments is that he doubled down on them at a press conference right after the news broke this week. He's standing by those words -- and that just makes it even clearer that he is out of touch with folks here in Colorado, and across America.
As the Denver Post put it in an editorial yesterday, his comment "bespeaks a blanket cynicism about people who aren't like him."
47 percent.
That's almost half the country, and it includes many of our students and recent graduates, elderly and retired citizens, veterans, military personnel, and disabled Americans.
Maybe Romney doesn't realize that students can't pay income tax on the jobs they don't have, or that the elderly don't pay because they are retired and receiving the Social Security pensions they are entitled to after a lifetime of work.
These are folks who come out day after day to help support this movement, because they know that unlike Mitt Romney, President Obama is concerned about all Americans -- so I hope you'll join them if you haven't already.
If you're fired up, apply that energy. Sign up here to volunteer, and help get the message out about the candidate who cares about everyone in this country, not just a percentage of them:
