2012 Election

The Women are Watching bus tour wrapped a successful second day through the great state of New York. In Syracuse, they spoke to Kevin Curtis, Republican board member for PPRSR action fund who discussed why Planned Parenthood is important to him and why we need to continue fighting to protect and promote women's health.

We thought we knew Dan Benishek. But in Congress, Benishek voted to essentially end Medicare. And raise costs on seniors by over $6,000 a year. He even voted to give members of Congress taxpayer funded health care. For life. Gutting Medicare and looking out for himself. It didn't take long in Washington for Congressman Benishek to show his true colors.

President Bill Clinton: "This election to me is about which candidate is more likely to return us to full employment."

"This is a clear choice. The Republican plan is to cut more taxes on upper income people and go back to deregulation. That's what got us in trouble in the first place."

"President Obama has a plan to rebuild America from the ground up, investing in innovation, education, and job training. It only works if there is a strong middle class."

"That's what happened when I was President. We need to keep going with his plan."

President Obama ended his two-day tour of Ohio and Nevada with a grassroots event in Las Vegas. President Obama discussed the choice in this election between two fundamentally different visions of how to grow the economy, create middle-class jobs, pay down the debt and invest in quality, affordable education.

Voiceover: "Esta elección presidencial es crucial para nuestro futuro. Cada votante Latino debe saber la verdad sobre los candidatos. Y esta es la verdad sobre Mitt Romney. Ha prometido eliminar la nueva ley de salud y el acceso a un seguro medico para millones de Latinos."

Romney: "If I'm President, I will repeal Obamacare and I'll kill it dead on its first day."

Voiceover: "Esta elección presidencial es crucial para nuestra comunidad. Cada votante Latino debe saber la verdad sobre los candidatos. Y esta es la verdad sobre Mitt Romney. Ha prometido eliminar la nueva ley de salud. Romney se opone a ayudar a las familias que están a punto de perder sus casas por la crisis hipotecaria. Y Romney esta en contra del DREAM Act. La verdad es la verdad. Mitt Romney no le conviene a los Latinos de Estados Unidos."

Todd Akin's comments were not just one extreme candidate - it's part of a Republican pattern.

Todd Akin is getting all the attention these days, but what about politicians who agree with him? When it comes to women's health, Todd Akin and Paul Ryan are exactly the same. Take a stand against opponents of women's health like Akin and Ryan: http://ppaction.org/akin

President Obama took a two day tour of Colorado with stops in Denver, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs. In these cities, the President discussed the choice in this election between two fundamentally different visions on how to create an economy built to last.
