A protester carries a Mitt Romney puppet during a demonstration outside the offices of Bain Capital on August 21, 2012 in Evanston, Illinois.

Workers from the plant delivered to the Bain Capital office a petition with more than 35,000 signatures urging the company to save their jobs. Bain Capital, whose former CEO was current Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, purchased the Freeport plant two years ago. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
