Romney For President Releases Television Ad, “Least We Can Do”

ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT RELEASES TELEVISION AD, “LEAST WE CAN DO”

Boston, MA – Today, Romney for President released a new television advertisement titled “Least We Can Do.” Medicare is going broke. It’s not politics. It’s math. We can save Medicare for current retirees, if we accept that Medicare will be different for younger Americans than it is for their parents.

AD FACTS: Script For “Least We Can Do”:

SEN. MARCO RUBIO: “Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan get it. Medicare is going broke.”

VIDEO TEXT: “Marco Rubio”

SEN. MARCO RUBIO: “That’s not politics. It’s math. Anyone who wants to leave Medicare like it is, is for letting it go bankrupt. My mother’s eighty-one and depends on Medicare.”

VIDEO TEXT: “The Romney-Ryan Plan”

VIDEO TEXT: “Preserving Medicare For Our Seniors”

VIDEO TEXT: “Strengthening Medicare For Our Future”

SEN. MARCO RUBIO: “We can save Medicare without changing hers, but only if younger Americans accept that our Medicare will be different than our parents’, when we retire in thirty years. But after all they did for us, isn’t that the least we can do?”

MITT ROMNEY: “I’m Mitt Romney, and I approved this message.”

ROMNEY: I WISH TIM PAWLENTY SUCCESS IN ADVANCING THE INTEGRITY OF OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM

Boston, MA – Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty made the following statements following the announcement of Pawlenty accepting the Chairman and CEO position at The Financial Services Roundtable, a bipartisan organization that does not allow political activity:

“It is an honor to call Mitt and Ann my friends,” said Tim Pawlenty. “My new position as CEO of The Financial Services Roundtable does not allow me to participate in partisan campaign activities. For that reason, I am stepping down from my position as co-chair of Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign. My work with Mitt has been a privilege. Mitt Romney is a truly good man and great leader. As the campaign moves into the home stretch, he has my full support and continued faith in his vision and his policies.”

“Tim Pawlenty is a dear friend,” said Mitt Romney. “He’s brought energy, intelligence and tireless dedication to every enterprise in which he’s ever been engaged, and that certainly includes my presidential campaign. While I regret he cannot continue as co-chair of my campaign, his new position advancing the integrity of our financial system is vital to the future of our country. I congratulate him on his new position and wish him every success in carrying out his new mission.”
