	For Immediate Release August 11, 2012 GOProud Praises Selection of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) for Vice President Jimmy LaSalvia, Executive Director – "The selection of Paul Ryan is a bold and inspired pick.  Paul Ryan has been the architect of policies that would benefit all Americans, especially gay Americans." (Washington, D.C.) – This morning, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee for President, will announce he has selected Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) to be his Vice Presidential running mate.  In response, GOProud – a national organization of gay and straight Americans seeking to promote freedom by supporting free markets, limited government, and a respect for individual rights – praised the selection. GOProud is also the only national gay group to endorse Governor Romney's Presidential bid.   "The selection of Paul Ryan is a bold and inspired pick," said Jimmy LaSalvia, Executive Director of GOProud.  "Paul Ryan has been the architect of policies that would benefit all Americans, especially gay Americans."   "Paul Ryan is one of the few political leaders anywhere in the country willing to tell the American people the truth about the unprecedented budget crisis we are facing, and – more importantly – willing to put forward bold plans to put this country back on the road to fiscal solvency," continued LaSalvia.   "Like all Americans, gays and lesbians in this country are concerned with the out-of-control spending and growing mountains of unsustainable federal debt," said LaSalvia.  "Gay Americans understand that without reforms – Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid will go bankrupt.  The future prosperity for all Americans, regardless of their sexual orientation, is at stake if we do not act today."   Representative Ryan has been the architect of critical reforms that would empower and benefit gay Americans.  "Paul Ryan authored bold Social Security reforms that would end the government's discrimination against gay couples through personal savings accounts," continued LaSalvia.  "Paul Ryan has voted to end the discriminatory death tax and for free market reforms to healthcare that will expand access to domestic partner benefits."   Paul Ryan opposes discrimination against gay Americans – voting for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act – and has urged both parties to avoid the culture wars over issues like gay marriage.   "There is no better pick for Vice President than Paul Ryan, and we can't wait to spend the next few months telling gay and straight voters why a Romney-Ryan White House will be good for America," concluded LaSalvia. # # # GOProud is a national organization of gay and straight Americans who seek to promote freedom by supporting free markets, limited government, and a respect for individual rights.
