The Romney campaign has released its first ad of the general election campaign. "Day One" is a great ad with a positive message about what President Romney would do.
President Romney will have much to do, but approving the Keystone Pipeline, introducing tax reform to encourage job growth, and replacing ObamaCare will be a good start.
You can watch the ad below:

Romney's "Day One" ad will initially run in the battleground states of Ohio, North Carolina, Iowa and Virginia.
Romney has previously told us that fostering job creation through economic growth will be his top priority from his first day in office. Some elements of Romney's plan will take time to set in motion, but on Day One he will submit a jobs package to Congress consisting of at least five major proposals and will demand that Congress act on the package within 30 days:
Five Bills for Day One
- The American Competitiveness Act -- Reduces the corporate income tax rate to 25 percent.
- The Open Markets Act -- Reinstates the president’s Trade Promotion Authority to facilitate negotiation of new trade agreements.
- The Domestic Energy Act -- Directs the Department of the Interior to undertake a comprehensive survey of American energy reserves in partnership with exploration companies and initiates leasing in all areas currently approved for exploration.
- The Retraining Reform Act -- Consolidates the sprawl of federal retraining programs and returns funding and responsibility for these programs to the states.
- The Down Payment on Fiscal Sanity Act -- Immediately cuts non-security discretionary spending by five percent, reducing the annual federal budget by $20 billion.
President Romney will will also take "immediate and specific steps" by issuing a series of executive orders that gets the U.S. government out of the economy’s way:
Five Executive Orders for Day One
- An Order to Pave the Way to End ObamaCare -- Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services and all relevant federal officials to return the maximum possible authority to the states to innovate and design health care solutions that work best for them.
- An Order to Cut Red Tape -- Directs all agencies to immediately initiate the elimination of Obama-era regulations that unduly burden the economy or job creation, and then caps annual increases in regulatory costs at zero dollars.
- An Order to Boost Domestic Energy Production -- Directs the Department of the Interior to implement a process for rapid issuance of drilling permits to developers with established safety records seeking to use pre-approved techniques in pre-approved areas.
- An Order to Sanction China for Unfair Trade Practices -- Directs the Department of the Treasury to list China as a currency manipulator in its biannual report and directs the Department of Commerce to assess countervailing duties on Chinese imports if China does not quickly move to float its currency
- An Order to Empower American Businesses and Workers -- Reverses the executive orders issued by President Obama that tilt the playing field in favor of organized labor, including the one encouraging the use of union labor on major government construction projects.
