ACLU Denounces Paul Ryan
The
morning the ACLU sent out a blistering denouncement of Rep. Paul Ryan's
track record on LGBT rights and civil liberties. Via press release:
In
response to Mitt Romney’s announcement of his vice presidential pick of
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the American Civil Liberties Union Liberty Watch
2012 campaign this morning released a brief report that reveals an
appalling civil liberties record for Ryan.
The report finds that
Ryan, the congressman representing Wisconsin’s 1st District, holds
almost uniformly harmful views on five key civil liberties issues
including a humane immigration policy, LGBT equality, reproductive
rights, torture and indefinite detention and fair voting access.
The
report is based on the white paper released by ACLU Liberty Watch 2012.
“Paul Ryan may end up a heartbeat away from the presidency but he’ll be
light years from civil liberties,” said Anthony D. Romero, ACLU
executive director. “Paired with Romney’s already-abysmal record on
civil liberties, Ryan’s positions only take this ticket further from the
vision of our founding fathers.”
