Rosa DeLauro— economy failure

Except when it comes to her OWN income.

Even her HUSBAND, Dem pollster Stanley Greenberg,

told her—don’t mention the lousy economy!

Instead, ‘distract’ voters with blather about ‘One-Percenters’

—like herself!

“rising payrolls, lower unemployment and a buoyed stock market,

while lifting the fortunes of the rich [—like Rosa DeLauro],

are leaving behind major Democratic constituencies, including young women and blacks…the number of women employed compared with the total female population is 55.2 percent,

actually worse than it was in October 2010.

Progress, in fact, is a mirage…

People are working harder, but they are being left behind…

In employment prospects, job security and wage growth for all

but the most affluent [—like Rosa DeLauro],

the recovery remains anemic at best, a difficult selling point for the [Democratic] party that has held both the White House and the Senate for more than five years…

Democracy Corps, a Democratic polling firm [staffed by DeLauro’s husband, Stanley Greenberg], advised Democratic candidates to ‘give up hope on the economy’ and drive home a populist message

comparing the fortunes of the top 1 percent [—like Rosa DeLauro]

with the struggles of everyone else [like YOU!]…

“…Democrats should bury any mention of ‘the recovery’,” stated an April

memo from Stanley B. Greenberg’

[—who is DeLauro’s husband!!!]…

Nearly 6.7 million people reported holding multiple jobs … in 2010.

That number now tops more than Seven Million.

In October 2010, more than 2.57 million said they worked part time because those were the only jobs they could find. In April, 2.62 Million said that…

Income for households in the exact middle of the income distribution declined 4.26 percent

from 2009 to 2012, the last year for which data is available.

For white households, mean income declined by 2.2 percent.

For black homes, the decline was 4.5 percent; for Hispanics, 4.2 percent.

Meanwhile, pretax income for the Top 1 Percent

[—like Rosa DeLauro!]

Grew by 31 Percent over that same time frame.” http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/20/us/politics/economic-recovery-is-leaving-major-democratic-constituencies-behind.html?ref=politics&_r=0 http://nyti.ms/1teGSfe

SUMMARY—based on her own husband's memo:

  • DeLauro’s personal wealth has ballooned to $26 MILLION

  • her policies have hurt the economy & Medicare Advantage

  • DeLauro has done nothing about jobs

  • she is a major contributor to gridlock in Congress.

  • So WHY would ANYONE vote for Rosa DeLauro??!!

    Rosa DeLauro’s income is soaring

    —but everyone else is working harder just to get by.

    Voters from BOTH parties, Independents and ALL demographic groups are angered

    by the influence of DeLauro’s massive wealth on insider politics.

    Delauro has had 23 years to fatten her wallet

    —by laundering campaign donations* into her own pocket—

    and has accomplished virtually NOTHING else.

    When the middle class succeeds, America succeeds.

    And the middle class will succeed when corrupt crony politicians

    —like Rosa DeLauro—are thrown out of office!

    If you believe in returning our govt to the People—YOU!—

    rather than allowing it to be run by corrupt, self-serving, elitist, control-freak MultiMillionaires like DeLauro—
