You might have heard: Mitt Romney announced his vice presidential pick, Paul Ryan from Wisconsin.

The Romney/Ryan ticket is just a double down by the GOP on its plan to destroy the middle class. While a member of Congress, Ryan crafted a budget plan that would end Medicare as we know it and slash funding for education and to fix our crumbling infrastructure, like bridges and roads. He has supported destructive free trade agreements, like CAFTA, that shipped good U.S. jobs overseas. Ryan wants to gamble with our retirement by privatizing social secruity. And, like Romney, he has supported attacks on collective bargaining rights for public workers and defended tax breaks for the rich.

Can you take a minute to make sure that every one of your Facebook friends knows the truth about the Romney/Ryan ticket?

We need to get the message out: The Romney/Ryan plan would transform America from the land of opportunity for all into a land of entitlement for the rich. They’re going to spend millions of dollars on TV ads, but we have something better than a pot of money from the Cayman Islands.

Each of you has the power to influence the people who matter most: your friends and family, the folks you talk to all the time. We don’t need media pundits to share our message when we have the power of real people.

Share our Facebook image now with your friends and family so that you, not Romney and Ryan’s rich donors, can be the one who gets the message out:
