Will the real Mitt Romney please stand up? In honor of Super Tuesday, you can now play Mitt ‘N Match and watch Mitt change his positions on equality issues more often than he changes clothes! He used to support open military service. Now he doesn’t. He used to support fairness in the workplace. Now he doesn’t. He used to support domestic partnerships. Now he doesn’t. Mitt ‘N Match is the gift that keeps on giving… the truth about this presidential candidate’s LGBT politics. With no core convictions or guiding principles to get in the way, there’s nothing stopping you from giving Mitt a brand new look – with new policy stances to match. Mitt can become whatever you and his big money, right-wing donors want him to be. Take Mitt’s pledge to fight for a constitutional ban on marriage equality – there’s an outfit for that. What about Mitt’s support for the hate-driven Defense of Marriage Act or his opposition to ending workplace discrimination? Just dress him up! Mitt Romney is a complex guy with too many positions to count. But no matter what anti-LGBT rhetoric he’s spouting, just remember… always dress to impress! Enjoy, The HRC Team |

The Black Dollar: Move Your Money!
Black people need to make Wall Street and Big Banks stand up and take notice. The Black dollar is a powerful tool, but in order to wield that power Black people must invest it strategically.
Putting money in large corporate banks with no investment in the Black community or any community is not the way to wield that power.

Think Progress: the 5man panel – Birth Control
No Women Allowed
Sorry, ‘Gals’
This morning, Republicans held a hearing on women’s health care. Here’s the panel they brought in to discuss birth control:
And then Foster Friess, Rick Santorum’s money man, went on MSNBC this afternoon and gave some unsolicited advice on contraception to “the gals.”
Check out his shocking comments:
Foster Friess: I get such a chuckle when these things come out. Here we have millions of our fellow Americans unemployed, we have jihadist camps being set up in Latin America, which rick has been warning about, and people seem to be so preoccupied with sex. I think that says something about our culture. We maybe need a massive therapy session so we can concentrate on what the real issues are. And this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it’s such inexpensive. Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.”
IN ONE SENTENCE: Republicans may find blocking affordable access to birth control funny, but the GOP’s all-out war on women’s health care is no laughing matter.

Thank Obama for prioritizing our future over Big Coal interests!
| By putting in place the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, President Obama made a substantial leap forward for our nation’s health and environment. Not every leader would have done this for our country, since Big Coallobbyists and corporate special interests make great efforts keep us dependent on their hazardous products and services.Give President Obama a huge THANK YOU for putting our people first and standing strong against mercury pollution.» The other current presidential candidates, for example, want to take away our environmental protection and set back the progress we’ve made.Newt Gingrich wants to “maximize oil, gas, and clean coal production.” Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum have already received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Big Coal companies which visibly alters their stance on energy. And Ron Paul has stated that he would eliminate the EPA altogether.
It takes a strong leader to make such a bold environmental decision. Take a moment to let President Obama know that we appreciate his actions in standing up to Big Coal for our future.»

Campaign 2012 …
Friend —
People have been sending around two videos here at headquarters this morning, and I thought you’d want to see them, too.
This first one was posted to YouTube almost exactly four years ago. It’s Barack Obama’s “closing argument” to Iowans the night before the caucuses in 2008.
It’s pretty incredible to see candidate Obama talk about what President Obama ultimately did. He makes four specific promises — on reforming health care, making college more affordable, ending the war in Iraq, and putting us on the path to energy independence — all of which today, four years later, are promises kept.
Check it out here: http://my.barackobama.com/Caucus-Video
The second video is from yesterday — posted by the New York Times reporters on the ground in Iowa.
It’s a sneak peek into the “the best-organized presidential campaign in Iowa.” Spoiler alert: It’s not Mitt Romney. Or Ron Paul. Or Rick Santorum.
You can watch that here: http://my.barackobama.com/Caucus-Ground-Game-Video
Both these videos are pretty near and dear to my heart. I was the campaign’s Iowa caucus director in 2008, and I know how hard people are working there right now, opponent or no opponent.
That’s why I want to thank you for opening this email — especially because I know you’ve been pretty bombarded with messages from us lately.
All the work we do here at headquarters or (more importantly) in the field in places like Des Moines and Ankeny and Council Bluffs in Iowa ultimately relies on someone like you deciding to open an email, click on a link on Facebook, or visit BarackObama.com.
Those tiny decisions are what lead to conversations about the campaign, donations that fuel the work we’re all doing, and volunteers turning out at campaign events across the country.
So, thanks for that, and for everything you’ve done.
A new chapter in the story of 2012 starts with what happens in Iowa tonight. Most of us will watch what happens on TV — but as you do, remember that the end of this story is up to you and what you decide to do in the days and weeks ahead.
Thanks,
Mitch
