Bain Workers Bus Tour to "Stop the Romney Economy" To Visit Keith Rothfus Office

Pittsburgh Stop Part of Trek from St. Louis to Romney Campaign HQ in Boston to Talk About the Romney/Bain Economic Model of Outsourcing and Low Wages


WEXFORD, PA—The Bain Worker Bus tour is coming to Keith Rothfus’s office on Oct 3rd. Current and former employees of Bain Capital-owned companies launched the month-long journey across the country to educate swing voters about Mitt Romney's economic vision for our country.  The tour kicked off with a rally in St. Louis, MO, and will take the Bain workers’ message straight to voters as it wends its way across the country, culminating in a day of action in Boston, MA, where both Romney’s campaign and Bain Capital are headquartered. Pennsylvania Working Families and One Pittsburgh are excited to welcome the bus to town.

On October 3rd, residents of the metro region will greet the Bain Worker Bus with a rally outside Rothfus’s headquarters in McCandless at 11am. Rothfus’ vision of America is in lockstep with Romney’s -- tax cuts for the rich and for corporations that ship jobs overseas.
