Romney for President Announces Virginia Veterans for Romney Leadership Team

Arlington, Va. – Today, Romney for President announced its Virginia Veterans for Romney Leadership Team, which is composed of more than two dozen leaders from Virginia’s veterans community. Whether it’s his massive defense cuts that could eliminate more than 207,000 Virginia jobs, his proposal to increase health care costs for military retirees, or his failure in leadership at the VA, it’s clear President Obama has not kept faith with the more than 800,000 veterans who call Virginia home. Veterans throughout Virginia and America deserve better.

“We are excited to announce the Virginia Veterans for Romney Leadership Team,” said State Chairman Don Loren, a retired rear admiral and former deputy assistant secretary of defense. “Virginia’s 800,000-strong veterans community is one of the Commonwealth’s most important constituencies, and the Romney-Ryan team is committed to earning their support. Our leadership team will play a vital role in helping educate veterans about the Romney-Ryan plan to reverse the current administration’s defense cuts, get unemployed veterans back to work, enact positive reforms at the VA, and restore our military after more than ten years of war.”

    Drag out your brass……..but just how many defense jobs could be funded from the proceeds of billions of dollars of tax cuts for the rich (and please dont change the subject to Obama)…….just address what ROMNEY/RyAN plan to do to all of our active and retired military in Virginia…………

    While I was at Fr. Lewis preparing to go to vietnam, Romney was in Paris, France going door to door trying to sell the french his religion. It takes a lot of money DODGE THE DRAFT traipsing around France, who did his father pay off for that. No other religion gets exempt to do missionary work. DON’T SUPPORT THIS BUM, NO AN HONEST BONE IN HIS BODY!

    Romney likely had an exemption simmilar to those of Catholic seminarians…..I hold no ill will to Gov Romney. Its just that the Democrats have more to offer……….
