MEMORANDUM TO INTERESTED PARTIES
TO: Interested Parties
FROM: Stephanie Cutter, Obama for America Deputy Campaign Manager
SUBJECT: What to Expect in Tonight’s Debate
Tonight, the President and Mitt Romney will debate each other for the first time. Both sides have worked to set expectations on their candidates – from the amount of time the candidates have spent preparing, to the number of “zingers” Mitt Romney has memorized.
But, the American people aren’t going to pick the winner of this debate based on style or good attack lines. If they were, then the Republican Convention’s “empty chair” moment should have been a great success.
Instead, they’re going to pick the winner on substance. They’re looking for the candidates to lay out specific, concrete policies to move this country forward, not back to the same policies that created the crisis in the first place and punished the middle class. Tonight provides an opportunity for both President Obama and Mitt Romney to do that.
The President looks forward to that conversation – because it’s one he started six years ago and has continued ever since. In taking emergency steps to save the economy from another depression, rescuing the auto industry, reforming health insurance, putting new rules in place for Wall Street, cutting taxes for small businesses and the middle class and helping more Americans afford a college education and pay their mortgages, the President has made real and significant progress with one goal in mind: to restore middle class security. We’ve now had 30 straight months of private-sector job growth, during which businesses have created 5.1 million jobs.
For the next four years, President Obama has laid out real and achievable goals, and a specific path to get there, restoring middle-class security and creating jobs and long-term economic growth.
Mitt Romney comes to this debate in a different position. He doesn’t have any specific plans to move us forward – only tired repeats that will take us back. On job creation, deficit reduction, and the middle class, Romney’s promises are nothing more than platitudes covering up a collection of contradictory positions. In short, they aren’t serious steps to move our country forward. So, Romney can use tonight’s debate to fill in those details and finally, for the first time, explain his proposals or readjust his positions. Or he can spend 90 minutes doing what he does best: attacking the president, distorting his own record, and avoiding any and all details on his plans for this country.
Senator Burr: Why did you vote against our Veterans?
this is what Shelly Nixon would like to know. So she started a Petition asking you to sign, basically asking Richard Burr why he did this.
Her email,
Dear North Carolina Citizens,
Senator Richard Burr recently voted to block a billion-dollar veteran jobs program. North Carolina voters want him to explain why he abandoned our veterans despite their high rate of unemployment and homelessness.
That's why I created a petition on SignOn.org to Sen. Burr which says:
Senator Richard Burr, explain why you abandoned our veterans.
Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.
Thanks!
–Shelly Nixon
if you agree and would like to know why Richard Burr doesn’t care about our service men and women please sign and share..
