Harrisburg, PA – Tomorrow, October 26, former Pennsylvania Governor and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, retired Pittsburgh Steeler and candidate for Governor Lynn Swann and RNC National Committeeman Ron Kaufman of Massachusetts will join other guests on the Romney-Ryan Bus for a “Can’t Afford Four More” Tour of Pennsylvania.  The tour comes as support for Governor Mitt Romney surges across the United States and in Pennsylvania, where Republicans lead Democrats in over 19,000 absentee ballot requests and the polls have closed as the Romney Victory program approaches its 5 millionth voter contact. 

The tour will kick off just days after the Obama campaign published a glossy 20-page pamphlet that purports to be an agenda for a second term. But a glossy pamphlet two weeks before an election is no substitute for a real agenda for America. There is no glossing over the last four years, and Pennsylvanians can’t be fooled into thinking the President has a real plan for the future when all that’s offered is more of the same.  Mitt Romney has a plan that will strengthen the middle class by creating over 12 million new jobs, increasing take-home pay for hard-working families and getting America out from under the president’s mountain of debt.

The following events are open press:
