EMAIL DETAILS

Hunter --

You saw the news: Mitt Romney is almost certainly the Republican nominee
and our opponent in this election.

That means voters are going to have a very clear choice this November. The
President is rebuilding an economy meant to last and restoring economic security
for the middle class by reclaiming the values that made America great: the simple
idea that America prospers when we're all in it together -- when hard work pays off,
responsibility is rewarded, and everybody does their fair share and plays by the
same rules.

Our opponent thinks our economy will grow by returning to the same failed policies
that created the crisis in the first place -- an economy built on risky financial deals,
outsourcing, and slashing taxes for millionaires like him, while paying for it by
gutting programs that seniors and middle-class families rely on.

Before he gets any closer to the White House, each of us needs to know five key facts
about Mitt Romney -- and be ready to share them with everyone we know.

Forward this email -- and if you're ready for this fight, become the newest member of
the Truth Team today and help get the facts out from now till Election Day:

1. Romney is the most radically anti-women candidate in a generation. He supports
banning all abortions, backed a so-called "personhood" amendment that could
make certain forms of birth control illegal, and says he would "get rid of" federal funding
for Planned Parenthood that provides preventive services like cancer screenings for
millions of women.

2. Romney would repeal Obamacare. Insurance companies would once again be allowed
to run up premiums, unjustifiably deny coverage for pre-existing conditions, drop patients
when they get sick, discriminate against women by charging them more for coverage than
men, and spend more of your premium dollars on CEO profits and bonuses instead of
your actual health care.

3. Romney doesn't have what it takes to be Commander in Chief. He shifts positions on
serious foreign policy and security questions for political reasons, and his only clear
commitment is to endless wars: He has no plan to end the war in Afghanistan and would
leave our troops there indefinitely. He called the President's decision to bring our troops
home from Iraq by last Christmas "tragic."

4. Romney's economic plans would take more money from the middle class and give it
to corporations and millionaires like him who don't need it. Under Romney, millionaires
and billionaires would get a $250,000 tax cut, while families with kids making less than
$40,000 a year would, on average, actually see their taxes go up. He also opposes the
Buffett Rule so that millionaires can continue to take advantage of loopholes and special
deals to pay a lower tax rate than the middle class. And he supports tax breaks for
companies that ship jobs overseas.

5. Romney would end Medicare as we know it -- replacing it with a voucher scheme that
would drive profits for insurance companies by forcing seniors to purchase private insurance,
paying whatever costs a voucher wouldn't cover out of their own limited budgets.

Romney and his special-interest allies are going to spend the next seven months trying to
deny, downplay, or hide these facts from voters. It's on us to speak the truth.

So print these out, post them on your fridge, and share them on Facebook. Send this list
around to friends who are on the fence.

When and if your mother-in-law, or cousin, or best friend claims that Romney is "moderate,"
you need to know what to say.

You are the President's voice out there, and I can't stress enough how you will be the
difference between voters hearing our message or not. The more Americans learn about
Mitt Romney, the less they like him and the less they trust him.

Sign up to join the Truth Team today -- help get the facts out every day, keep the other side
honest, and make sure people know the truth about Mitt Romney's and the President's records:

If people know the truth about Mitt Romney and President Obama, who they are, and their
very different plans for this country, there's no way we can lose this thing.

This race is on.

Let's go,

which we all need to remember as we head into the general election. Take a look, and make sure
your friends see it, too:
