Did you sign the Change.org petition to keep jobs in Ill.?

I did. And this is what I got back in my e-mail. You may have heard of this and when I read it, I was sick. rMoney is an bona-fide crook and does not give a shit about working class people. The friggin workers were training the Chinese so they could do the job in China. I say raise hell and make sure the Obama camp makes a vid on this.


Thanks for signing my petition to save American jobs, starting with 170 workers at Sensata losing our jobs to China.

On Tuesday, joined by Rep. Jan Schakowsky, we'll deliver your signature and over 35,000 others at Bain Capital's Evanston, IL headquarters -- just a short trip from where we're losing our jobs in Freeport.

But it's more than just Bain that's the problem. Mitt Romney, Bain's founder and presidential candidate, refuses to acknowledge American workers like us who are about to lose our jobs. Romney created this problem and we want to make sure he understands the impact on middle class families across the country.

We've called; we've emailed. But check out what happened when we visited his campaign headquarters:



They actually locked the doors and called the police. But the officer knew we just wanted to be heard, and he delivered our open letter for us!

Will Mitt Romney respond? Not unless the public demands it. If we can generate enough public pressure, he'll have no choice but to listen to our concerns and make the call to his friends at Bain.

That's why I need you to share this video with your friends.



Together, we can save our town of Freeport and send a message across the country that we won't let our jobs be shipped overseas by Bain Capital and Mitt Romney.

Thanks,
Cheryl Randecker
