Grassroots Tosa: Stop The Romney/Ryan Attack On Women

Hot from the inbox:

Friends,

Grassroots Tosa is please to announce a forum highlighting the attacks on women and womens' rights planned by the Romney campaign.
Romney and Ryan promise to:
  • Oppose equal pay laws for women. Paul Ryan has voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
  • Restrict/ban a woman’s right-to-choose.
  • Block the Violence Against Women’s Act.
  • Support extremist legislation extending full rights of “personhood” that makes all abortions illegal.
  • Uphold a bill that would outlaw certain types of contraception and in-vitro fertilization.
  • Block any expansion of paid sick-time for many low wage female workers.
  • Reduce Medicaid healthcare services resulting in a disproportionate impact on poor women.
  • Undercut the important role of government and the safety net for women, seniors, people with disabilities, and children.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17TH
WAUWATOSA LIBRARY- FIREFLY ROOM
76TH & NORTH AVENUE
6:30 P.M.
