One more day of snarky publicity;
Show us you have not done "any of the terrible things portrayed".
"Kind regards and best of luck"

OPEN LETTER TO W. MITT ROMNEY
January 13, 2012
Dear Governor Romney,
Today, the Washington Post reviewed the video King of Bain. The review seems to rest its case on the fact that you left Bain to run the Winter Olympic Games in 1999. This date now looms important since the media has questioned facts stated in the video asserting that you could not have done much if any of the terrible things portrayed because you were not at Bain past 1999.
I personally reviewed all documentation, video, transcripts, government documents, media reports and other research that went into the making of this video prior to agreeing to purchase the distribution rights. I found the documentation to be in order and comprehensive.
We want the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have seen this video in the past two days to be aware of any discrepancies that may exist between the video and your version of the facts.
Therefore, we will agree to revise our ads and/or the video to reflect any errors that may be present in the current version of the video. To do this, however, we respectfully request you answer a few questions that might help guide our review.
1. When did you leave Bain for good full time or part time?
2. When did you relinquish controlling interest in Bain, any Bain projects or Bain funds?
3. When did you resign as the CEO?
4. When was the last Bain document submitted to the government denoting you as an executive at Bain?
5. When did you receive the final check from Bain for any investment in which you had and interest?
We are certain you would like to clear up this matter quickly. We will await your response and stand committed to address any discrepancies. Hearing no response, we will assume you can offer no evidence of errors and we will continue to stand by the film as presented.
Kind regards and best of luck,
Gregg Phillips
Managing Director

a) Romney
b) Obama
c) OWS

(31,706 posts)The ultimate cat and mouse games this year with Mittens Gecko is to force him to disclose his tax returns. He hasn't and has been trying to avoid the issue. We'll find out he earns in interest in one year what most of us earn in a lifetime...and he paid almost no taxes (interest income offset by deductions and losses)...he may have even gotten a rebate.
Hopefully the Obama team has seen this achillies heel and will keep asking these questions and more...get Mittens to open up the books. Every other candidate does it...President Obama does it...c'mon Mittens, make public your tax returns. And not the "short form" either...
