HEY!!! Where are the commercials with workers saying, "I'm no moocher, freeloader, etc.?"

Remember all those commercials with workers saying:

"President Obama, I built this!"

Well, where are our commercials with workers saying to Mitt Romney:

"Governor Romney, I'm no moocher. I'm no freeloader!"

Use the same kinds of workers Romney featured in his "I built it" ads: Construction workers, firemen, policemen, bus drivers, waiters and waitresses, and so on!

Come one, let's get on this. We have to strike now!!!! This is the moment!

This is a theme that will resonate.

It's a chance to really cement the image of Romney as out of touch.

This could be THE game-changer IF we act on it; we can't let this opportunity slip away.

The new ads should be fading from an elderly woman sitting by a window to a man obviously standing in an unemployment line to a disabled veteran to a college student to a woman working in a factory holding a picture of two kids.

And all of them also holding up a sign that says "I am the 47%"

Let them look into the camera and say directly to Mitt:

"I'm no freeloader!"

and

"Hey, Mitt, I worked all my life. I paid into it. I EARNED it."


Feature the "working poor" (the terminology I hear being used).

Feature the elderly, the disabled, children, veterans, etc.!!!
