Two points should be noted from this video from a Romney event

First, the actions taken by his staff.  It is very subtle, but a young woman, a veteran, was silently standing there, but she wore an offensive tee shirt.  What did it say? "Vets against VA vouchers"

That's it.  She, as a veteran, exercised her right to expression by wearing a tee shirt that challenged Mitt's policy (a horrible privatization giveaway to corporations, as all the radical conservative ideas are) and she was removed.

The second issue to note is the actual comments by Romney during his speech.  Against unions collecting dues and using them politically.  They call it "Right To Work", but they don't say it is nothing but a union starvation program, pushed by corporations and the Republicans that serve them.

Big business has never been forced to destroy the environment, but they did every chance they got. No one forced them to have unsafe work conditions, but they did every chance they got, and they still do.  No one forces them to lower wages more and more, where the only jobs available are at the level of temp jobs or fast food...but they do.  And Republican policies are designed to foster that type of environment that allows them greater ease in doing this. Unions are just one speed bump against the unadulterated greed of corporations.  And Mitt spews his poison here, while his goons suppress speech, and very few of the people hurt by these policies catch this.  

The sad thing is, many of these people will vote for him.

Take back America from Ayn Rand.  Vote against every Republican on the ballot.
