Romney Ryan: The Best Choice for Women

Published October 19, 2012 | By Pauline Olvera

To think that women are not engaged in the politics of the day is, in my opinion, a very serious mistake. Over the last four years we have disappointedly watched how our economy has gone from bad to worst.

Women have been hit the hardest in this economy and are far more engaged in today’s political landscape than ever before.

There are 7.8 million women owned businesses in America and we need a president who respects and understands what they do. Mitt Romney is the only candidate in this race that has the proven track record and experience to do just that.

As a successful businessman Mitt Romney knows how to identify problems and fix them. He knows how to create jobs and how to encourage economic growth.

He is well known for hiring the best people he could find to tackle problems and a lot of those people were women. Are we surprised?

As Governor of Massachusetts half of his staff was women including his lieutenant Governor. He balanced the budget, brought about a surplus, and created jobs. Because of his leadership, Massachusetts schools are the best schools in the country.

His position in Bain Capital resulted in making bad businesses better, creating many jobs along the way. Some of the more well-known success stories are business like Sports Authority, Staples, Burlington Coat Factory, Burger King, Domino’s Pizza and the list goes on.

And no one knows our nations budgetary problems or how to fix them better than his running mate, Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan.

They know that most women not only work outside the home and run their own businesses, they most often times pay the bills at home and when we see inflated gas prices, our health insurance costs rising, America’s $16 trillion debt problem; they know what it takes to fix them.

They have a clear plan to give us choice in managing our own health care, help us grow our businesses, give our seniors more choice in managing their Medicare, give parents more choice for their kid’s education, create a skilled workforce, give college graduate more job opportunities, help men and women grow their businesses and get America on the right track.

Together they can lead us out of this current economic crisis and back to prosperity.

This is why Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are the clear choice, the only choice, for women in November.
