WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney is scheduled to make a campaign stop in southeastern Wisconsin next week.

His campaign says the former Massachusetts governor will appear at a rally at the Wisconsin Products Pavilion, in the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the program begins at 7 p.m. Free tickets can be reserved at www.mittromney.com/wi.

Polls show the presidential race is locked in a dead heat in Wisconsin, and both campaigns are fighting hard for the state's 10 electoral votes.

Vice President Joe Biden was visiting Kenosha and Oshkosh on Friday. President Barack Obama is scheduled to be in Green Bay next week, the day after Romney’s visit. And the following day GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is planning to return to his home state.

Why would any Wisconsin woman vote for Romney?
He did not support the equal pay for equal work act (Lily Ledbetter Act) for women.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/...
He favors the Blunt Amendment that would deny contraception coverage for women. http://bostonglobe.com/news/politics/201...
He favors a “personhood” constitutional amendment that would define “life” as beginning at contraception, and could make abortion illegal.
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/...
He falsely said at the second debate that he sought "binders of women" profiles to find women to hire as governor, but, in reality, he was forced to use binders and signed a pledge that said he would use them.

Obama took the opposite, pro-women stance on each of these positions.
Romney is too extreme and would be COMPLETELY WRONG for Wisconsin women -- and men that care about them!

Foreign Policy Achievements

Infuriated European leaders with his rude comments and 2012 visit.
As soon as Libya consulate attacked, issued press release and tries to try to score political points.
Romney = No foreign policy experience =
Not ready to be POTUS
