SEIU Teams Up With Obama's New Super PAC

They are running anti-Romney ads.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Several weeks ago, the 2.1 million-member Service Employees International Union (SEIU) declared through an endorsement of President Barack Obama and the endorsement of a 99 percent agenda, that working people were ready to fight for a vision of America that includes a pathway to citizenship for every immigrant worker, a stronger middle class and a better future for all working people.

As part of the effort to deliver on this 99 percent agenda, SEIU today announced a joint ad campaign with Priorities USA Action to highlight the two faces of Mitt Romney, including his insincere and disingenuous outreach strategy to Hispanic voters. Mr. Romney has been running Spanish language media ads to try to convince the community that he shares our values but his record on jobs, immigration and education paints a vastly different story.

“Mitt Romney fails to recognize the problem with alleging concern for the Hispanic community while supporting pro-corporate policies, railing against the DREAM Act, which allows young, talented Hispanics an opportunity to pursue educational goals; and partnering with Kris Kobach, the godfather of anti-immigrant legislation such as Arizona’s SB 1070,” said SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Eliseo Medina. “He says one thing in English language media to appeal to conservative voters and another thing in Spanish language media.”
