Veterans and Binders Full of Women

Dear VoteVets.org Supporter,

Those of us who served know that there are a lot of strong, smart, independent women in our nation.

Now, one of these amazing women, the former head of Medical Operations at Ramstein Air Force Base, is telling Mitt Romney to show them some respect.

From blaming single moms for gun violence, to saying women should go home early from work to cook dinner for their husbands, to, yes, those “binders full of women,” Mitt Romney continually insulted women at the last debate.

This should offend men, as well as women. I know, from my two tours in Iraq, that women not only served, they saved the lives of men I served with. Mitt Romney’s characterization of women is demeaning to those incredible women in uniform, who so many of us owe our lives to.

That’s why I’m sharing this photo, and asking all of you to, as well.

Thanks for your support.

Sincerely,
Jon Soltz
Iraq War Veteran
