Jobs Plan Bumper Sticker

To view this email as a web page, go here.

The jobs numbers came out recently -- and the unemployment rate has jumped to 8.3 percent. President Obama may be convinced that the private sector is "doing fine" -- but obviously his policies have failed to move the economy "forward."

This week, Governor Romney launched his Plan for a Stronger Middle Class that will bring more jobs and more take-home pay to millions of Americans.

Show your support for his plan by purchasing a Romney Jobs Plan Bumper Sticker.

Israel, our ally

To view this email as a web page, go here.

It was a deeply moving experience to be in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, last week.

You can't get much closer to the ideals and convictions of the United States than you do in Israel. We're part of the great fellowship of democracies. We speak the same language of freedom and justice and believe in the right of every person to live in peace.

The story of how America -- a nation still so new to the world by the standards of this ancient region -- rose up to become the dear friend of the people of Israel is among the finest and most hopeful in our nation's history. Israel and America are in many respects reflections of one another, and I am happy America has such a great friend and ally.
