Now that the Republican convention propaganda has ended, let’s look at the real Mitt Romney. He and his wife have amassed a fortune of at least $250 million. His grandchildren will be born with silver spoons in their mouths as he was. One of Romney’s favorite sayings is like “think and get rich.” This is a direct contradiction to the teaching of Jesus.

When a rich man asked Jesus how he could get to heaven, he answered “Give your riches to the poor.” He warned his followers not to gather their treasures here on earth and that “It is more difficult for a rich man to get into heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle” (a very small doorway to a walled city).

Let us vote for President Obama, a devout Christian who doesn’t worship money. He can relate to most Americans and he cares for us.
