Dear Readers,

Everyone is talking about Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney’s pick for Vice President. And most people are talking about his extreme plans to end Medicare and gut Social Security.1 But what people don’t realize is that his record on women is equally appalling–shocking even.
We compiled a list–a horrifying list–of Paul Ryan’s record on women’s rights. These are five facts every single voter needs to know, right away.

Thanks

P.S. Victory Alert: Candy Crowley to Moderate a Presidential Debate. After more than 85,000 UltraViolet members signed a petition–that we delivered to the Presidential Debates Commission–they announced that for the first time in 20 years, a woman, CNN’s Candy Crowley, will moderate an official presidential debate. Thanks so much for being a part of this important victory!
