We got your back Senator. In fact most of us love it when you stand up to this poor excuse of a presidential candidate.
Dear David,
The other day, I said that Id been told by a very credible source that Mitt Romney hadnt paid taxes for ten years. Governor Romney got upset. But, you know what? Im not backing down.
Im not backing down because, when you run for President, you should be an open book. Im not backing down because Mitt Romney is hiding something and the American people deserve to know what it is.
Governor Romney told me to put up or shut up but hes the one whos shut up when people asked legitimate questions about his finances, and its up to him to put up his taxes so we can see the answers.
We cant let Mitt Romney get away with this not with hiding his taxes, and not with a tax plan that would reach into the pockets of the middle class to help multi-millionaires like himself.
Will you stand with me? Click here to help me tell Mitt Romney were not going to shut up until he comes clean and make a contribution to prove you're not backing down.
Its well-known that wealthy individuals like Mitt Romney have all sorts of creative tricks to dodge taxes offshore accounts, hidden loopholes, questionable deductions, and the like.
And its clear that the Romney campaign knows they have something to hide. After Governor Romney promised to tell the nation whether hed ever paid a lower tax rate than the 13.9% he paid in the one year of taxes he partially released, his campaign quickly walked it back.
So instead of attacking me for raising questions, Governor Romney needs to start answering them. And if he thinks Im about to back down, hes got another thing coming.
Mitt Romney is waiting for us to apologize and stop asking questions. Click here to help build our strength and show him thats not going to happen.
In the end, Mitt Romney could end all the controversy by releasing his taxes. He can tell us exactly what shady tricks hes used to avoid paying his fair share, or he can prove that he had nothing to hide all along.
What he cant do what I wont let him do is keep hiding. Hes running for President, for Petes sake. And its up to us to make Mitt Romney come clean with the American people.
Click here to take a stand with me.
Thanks for proving that Democrats arent about to back down on this.
