ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A group of New Mexicans who don't want to see Mitt Romney in the White House staged a protest outside his New Mexico headquarters Thursday.

The protestors said if he becomes president, New Mexico's poor, disabled and elderly will suffer.

They wore medical masks and used yellow quarantine tape to try to show people he is bad for people's health.

"When you throw the elderly, the disabled and the poor under the bus, what kind of community do you have?" Penelope Foran said. "It's a fundamental issue of this campaign."

There were some words exchanged between Romney staffers and the protestors.

Police were called, but when they got there the protestors left.
