Rep. Francisco Canseco: Reject Romney's claim about 47%
Rep. Francisco Canseco, tell us what you really think. Publicly reject Mitt Romney's offensive claim that 47% of Americans see themselves as "victims".
Why is this important?
Rep. Francisco Canseco says he represents all Texans, but he hasn’t said much about Mitt Romney's offensive remarks defaming 47% of Americans.
Texas has been hard hit by the economic crisis and I live in one of the poorer neighborhoods in Bexar County, Texas. However, I see my neighbors every day going out to work long hours. If they don't have jobs, I see them valiantly looking. Many of them intend to vote for Obama, but not all of them.
What is clear to me is that ALL Texans were smeared when Mitt Romney stated 47% of Americans think of themselves as victims who are entitled to and dependent on government support. He later went on to say, “My job is not to worry about those people.”
Canseco should have stood up for his constituents and made it clear that he respects the hardworking people of Texas, but he has not.
We deserve to know what our representatives stand for and what they really think of us.
