Obama Camp Wants Petition Signatures to Get Romney to Release Tax Returns

Obama Camp Wants Petition Signatures to Get Romney to Release Tax Returns

Bridget Johnson

The Obama campaign is asking supporters to sign a letter to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney release “just five years of tax returns.”

In an email to the BarackObama.com list, campaign manager Jim Messina noted the letter he sent Friday morning to Romney’s campaign manager, vowing to get off Romney’s back about the returns if the documents were produced. The Romney camp brushed off Messina’s move.

Now Messina has converted his letter into an online petition of sorts.

“According to the one full year of returns he has released, Romney paid 13.9% in taxes on his income. Thursday, he said he went back and looked, and has never paid less than 13% over the last ten years. Now we’re asking him to put his money where his mouth is,” Messina wrote.

“It is absolutely relevant for us to ask how much a presidential candidate paid in taxes, if he sheltered his money or tried to get out of paying taxes at all, why he started — and continues to own — a corporation offshore in Bermuda, why he keeps his finances offshore in the Cayman Islands, and why he opened a Swiss bank account,” he continued.

In addition to being invited to sign the petition, supporters were reminded in a P.S. to open their wallets: “Election Day is closer than you think — make a donation to fund this campaign in the time we have left.”

You have posted the only secrets kept by the thugs from Chicago and their enablers, the left wing mediots:

• We are told that Barack Hussien Obama Sr. is our current president’s father and that his father was never a United States Citizen. Therefore, our current POTUS is not eligible to be POTUS. Obama needs to recant his claim that BHO Sr. is his father and prove that his real father was a US citizen when the current POTUS was born.

• We are told that he attended Columbia, Occidental and Harvard. Did he? Where are the records?

• We are told that he is a Constitutional Professor. Is he really? Where are the records?

• We are told that he is or was a lawyer. Was he really? Where are the records?

•Why is the Main Stream Media not investigating or even taking a casual look into these obvious cover-ups?
My opinion, the Main stream Media is comprised of a bunch of Left leaning Liberals that have contempt for the United States of America and they will do anything to cover for their socialist cause.

still wanting tax returns while he seals his own records, the hypocrisy is amazing and this crap has got old and boring.
There are far more important issues to cover so for them to do this is pure desperation.

He’s so proud of his obamacare and his homosexual agenda then he should run on that and mentio it where he goes especially tot he black community and his illegal pals.

just like in 2008 , my wife and I look at the crowds at the republican ralliesa dn the Dem arallies and we have one question.

Why is it that the republican rallies the women are good looking, dressed very nice, men in suits etc.
The Dem rallies have the nasty looking women, never dressed nice at all, many loo like men.
The men look freaky, or dirty or look like a girl.

This photo s a prime example of a Dem rally, nasty looking butch women , dressed like crap and maybe someone needs to tell them that obama and his fat bum wife does not support or agree with fat people.

It’s nice to have a friend.

If you’re running for President, it’s nicer to have a following.

Ole Tom just hasn’t caught on around here...

But good luck. :)

How about information regarding why both Michelle & Barry lost their lawyers licenses to the Illinois Bar?? Michelle close to being indicted for insurance fraud? Barry falsely filling out his Illinois Bar application by denying he EVER had been known by any other name??? What is the truth??

How about a detailed accounting of how Barry got SEALED divorce documents about his Illinois Senate opponent, Jack Ryan, & drove the man to drop out of the race so Barry could run unopposed???

How about a detailed accounting for all the AMERICAN taxpayer money being spent on Barry’s Kenyan auntie who is living here illegally & getting welfare??

How about details on the same for his uncle, who has been convicted of numerous DUI & other run-in’s with the law & he is still in this country & getting ‘assistance’.??

How about a petition regarding Barry’s school records in:
Indonesia?

School records at Hawaii prep school?

Complete records for Occidental college in California?

Complete records for Columbia in New York?

Complete Records of Who paid the rent on his New York apartment?

Complete records of Harvard in New York?

Complete records of the real estate transactions dont with Tony Reszko & others?

Complete records of Michelle’s ‘job’ at a Chicago hospital?? I wouldn’t let her put a band-aid on me!!

Complete records of both of them attending ‘church’ with Reverand Wright for all those years? Complete records of the donations they both made to that ‘church”??

How about a DNA test on those 2 kids they claim parentage of to see who really is the father? Hard to believe it really is Mr Limp Wrist!!

How about a complete comparison of the staff & costs thereof in the White House which Laura Bush had versus what Michelle Obama has? The numbers are staggering for Michelle & ‘her needs’.

How about a cost detailed breakdown of all the $$$ spent on Grannie Robinson who seems to go wherever Michelle & the kids go?

How about a complete detailed explanation of Kevin Johnson-the Sacramemto Mayor who got into hot water for funding expenditures?? Johnson is a big buddy of Michelle ROBINSON Obama’s brother......& the whole thing got hushed up!!!

How about a DNA test on the baby of Vera Baker- an Obama staffer from the 2008 campaign who got shuffled off to Martinque in the middle of the campaign, obviously with a baby bump & with Michelle going ballistic & being in a foul mood on the campaign trail for weeks??

How about complete details of all the trips to Pakistan Barry made while in college’ ??

How about complete records of Barry’s ‘roommate’ in New York who he claimed was a drug dealer from Pakistan?

How about a Congressional Inquiry into the details of Barry’s Social Security number being used which was originally issued to a man in Connecticut born in 1896. Barry didn’t ever work or live in Connecticut. How difficult would it be for the earnings records of that social security number to be searched for any bank accounts or interest earnings in Hawaii? What if Grandma Dunham stole this information from a man who had accounts in Hawaii & died & then she gave the information/number to Barry & Stanley Ann for Barry’s social security number?

Would they have needed to steal such a number because BARRY WAS NOT BORN IN THE USA??? THERE WAS NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE to show the Social Security administration to apply for a number??

How about details of Barry’s health records?? IIRC, he has NEVER produced any for determining if he is healthy enough to be President.

This administration is as corrupt as any ever seen anywhere in the entire world. Saddam Hussein would be a piker next to Barry.

I can go on & on.

In any case, I would sign a petition do get after the missing information on Barack (Barry) Hussein Obama Soetoro.

IF Obama ‘knows’ what is in Romney’s tax returns, Obama has already broken the law to get such information.

Right. Because a million lemmings can’t be Wrong.

Who was “following” what in St.Petersberg RU circa 1905?

Precisely the reason the Faith of the primary author of the American Declaration of Independence was rendered in congregations that were/are enumerated in single instances of Individuals for whom Almighty God hath Created the Mind FREE.

Thanks for the link.

Anyone in the press or other media who accepts such data from any source other than Romney himself could be prosecuted for privacy concerns.

TAX records still have considerable privacy laws attached to them, IIRC.

NO CPA or any person in the payroll department of a company or any person who worked for IRS, etc, can every do such a release without being in serious jeopardy.

EVEN with what little I make on SS, I would not let the matter rest if someone released such information about me.

I don’t think there are very many Americans who would sit still for such releases of their private ernings information, either.

IMO, this is a topic that ANY American can identify with.

...and of course it would be helpful to Hoefling and his miniscule fan club to drop the holier-than-thou self-righteous BS.

I certainly don’t see that happening anytime soon, do you?

You’re welcome.

Obama has lived for 50 years without leaving any footprints -- none!  There is no Obama documentation -- no bona fides -- no paper trail -- nothing.
And we still don't know who the hell he is -- or where he comes from -- or who sent him.
