Good Dog

Bad Romney.

Alex helped his Uncle Ron organize an event a couple weekends ago. It was Francine's first political march, rally, sit-in, what have you. Even though it was more of a large organized dog walk with friends, the Bean proudly wore her anti-Romney onesie. Because seriously, do you want a president that thinks it's okay for a dog to ride on the roof of a car - for several HOURS?!?

Here's a summary of the Good Dog Bad Romney campaign and a few photos from the Portland event:

"A Dog’s Tale
When his children were young, Mitt Romney took a 12-hour road trip with the family dog, Seamus, in a crate tied to the roof of his car. Even after Seamus was stressed to the point of severe sickness, Romney’s only response was to hose him off and throw him back on the roof for another six hours.

The Problem
This incident shows that Romney lacks empathy and compassion—a key character flaw for any presidential candidate, regardless of party affiliation. A man like this is not worthy to lead our country.

We Are Not Alone
The Washington Post has reported that the Romney dog story has taken on a life of its own and won’t go away. According to Public Policy Polling, 68 percent of the electorate think it’s inhumane to put your dog in a kennel on the roof of your car. When told about Seamus, an amazing 17 percent of voters who support Romney say this incident makes them less likely to vote for him.

The Solution
It’s time to mobilize! We are pet lovers, animal advocates, breeders and sports enthusiasts. We number in the millions, and we are disgusted and offended by Romney’s callousness. We need to get this story out to Democrats, Independents and the 17 percent of Romney Republicans whose votes are up for grabs."
