R.N.C. convention officials and the Romney campaign are working closely with state, local and federal officials, as well as the Secret Service, to monitor Tropical Storm Isaac and preserve Florida’s emergency management resources.
Our first priority is ensuring the safety of delegates, alternates, guests, members of the media attending the Republican National Convention and citizens of the Tampa Bay area.”
The Republican National Convention will take place and officially nominate Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, and the party has other necessary business it must address, We also are remaining in constant contact with state and federal officials and may make additional schedule alterations as needed.”
Russ Schreifer, top aid to Mitt Romney declared,
We will absolutely be able to get our message out, “We still have an opportunity to tell the story of the last four years of how President Obama has failed the country.”
Obama for America calling for Mitt Romney to a traditional act of transparency. Really, where is the birth certificate and the college and Harvard records that Obama has sealed? What is up with that Mr. President? I do not want to see Romney’s tax returns. I want to view Obama’s REAL Birth Certificate and college transcripts. What do you mean the GOP did not properly vet this man. How did Obama get vetted? I have been asking that question for four years.
Obama for America distorted view of the GOP 2012 election, funny video!
Friend —
Friday morning, I sent a letter to Mitt Romney’s campaign manager, asking that Romney release just five years of tax returns. And I made a commitment that, if he does, this campaign would not demand more.
Right now, our opponent is proposing a $2,000 tax increase on middle-class families with kids in order to pay for tax breaks for millionaires like him.
He’s asking Americans to put him in charge of their taxes, while refusing to come clean about his own.
This isn’t going away because voters deserve better, and everyone but the Romney campaign seems to recognize that.
Romney’s refusal to release his returns is raising more questions than he’s been willing to answer.
According to the one full year of returns he has released, Romney paid 13.9% in taxes on his income. Thursday, he said he went back and looked, and has never paid less than 13% over the last ten years.
Now we’re asking him to put his money where his mouth is.
It is absolutely relevant for us to ask how much a presidential candidate paid in taxes, if he sheltered his money or tried to get out of paying taxes at all, why he started — and continues to own — a corporation offshore in Bermuda, why he keeps his finances offshore in the Cayman Islands, and why he opened a Swiss bank account.
In refusing to be transparent about it, he’s not only breaking the trust he’s asking voters to place in him, but also three decades of precedent that began with his own father’s presidential campaign in 1968.
This issue isn’t going away, and for good reason. Tell Romney to follow 30 years of precedent and release his tax returns:
Has President Obama Earned Your Vote? Great ad from Americans for Prosperity, highlighting 2008 Obama voters who have responded to the last 4 years not with anger, but with sadness and disappointment.

Will Barack Obama drop Joe Biden from his ticket? Obama has 22 days to decide. September 6, 2012 is the deadline where the official nominees will be registered on all 50 states. After the Charlotte, North Carolina’s Democratic National Convention the nominee will be on the ballot. Maybe Obama will shake things up and request Hillary Clinton to fill the Vice President slot. There have been weirder things happen in government. Remember, Obama will do anything to keep his position in the White House. I would not put anything past Obama. Desperation has begun.
