Unions offer reward for the whereabouts of Mitt Romney's London fundraising event

Source: Unite the Union

Unite and the United Steelworkers (USW) - the largest industrial union in the USA and Canada - are together offering a reward for the whereabouts of US presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, who is attending a highly secretive $25,000 to $75,000 a head fundraising event in London tomorrow (Thursday 26 July).

Romney is in town for the opening of the Olympics and to raise funds from rich bankers for his campaign to be the next president of the United States.

The unions want to 'award' Romney with two gold medals, one for austerity (for others) and the other for financial secrecy.

Romney’s record does not bode well for US workers. While Romney made a fortune running investment firm Bain Capital, 22 per cent of the companies Bain bought - while Romney headed it - went bankrupt or closed within eight years.

It was parked outside the County Courthouse. I avoided it but notice it was being set up for cameras. I wish I was handicap, it was park to block the handicap ramps from Center Street (Which the courthouse is on), Technically anyone in a wheel chair could have just gone down to the next ramp on either end of the block, but it would have been a fun few minutes while the person in the wheelchair try to use the ramp to cross the street (a ramp blocked by the bus).

When I saw the bus I was glad I did not have my camera, now that I think of the opportunity to picture the bus blocking a handicap ramp, I regret NOT having my camera.

What's up with this? Is it legal for Romney to fund raise in a foreign country for our presidential race?

He buys lawmakers to change them "retroactively" that's all.
