Dear Fellow Virginians,
I am going to make this Compass very short and straightforward.
Terry McAuliffe is lying about, among other things, contraception.
In T.V. ads, mail and during debates and forums, McAuliffe is telling two lies:
1) He is saying that personhood legislation that I have supported in the past would
have outlawed contraception, which is false; and
2) He is also saying - without citing much of anything - that I want to ban
contraception in the future.
Look, this is not one of those topics that anyone particularly enjoys discussing, so
let me be short and blunt.
No legislation I have ever supported would have - or even could have - "outlawed
contraception" as McAuliffe asserts.
And I do not support legislation banning contraception. Could I be any clearer?
Yes, as a matter of fact, I can.
You'll note that I said above that we couldn't have "outlawed contraception," even
if someone had wanted to. The reason for this is simple.
The U.S. Supreme Court held in two cases, Griswold and Eisenstadt, that the
government can't ban contraception. Those cases are decades old. This is a
long-settled area of law.
And Terry McAuliffe is a Washington, D.C. lawyer, so he is well aware that what he
is saying is false.
You got that right. He is knowingly lying to try and scare women to vote against me.
This is only one of the lies he is quite intentionally telling. I've never seen
anything like it in a campaign before, and I need your help to fight back.
I need you to forward this email to all the women you know in Virginia, and point
out to them that McAuliffe is telling a blatant lie and they need to know about it
for two reasons: first, if the issue is of concern to them, knowing the truth will
put their mind at rest; and second, they need to know that McAuliffe isn't making a
simple mistake. Rather, he's intentionally lying to the women of Virginia.
When you forward this email, please ask each woman you forward it to to send it on
to the other women they know in Virginia too.
Remember, there's two reasons this email is important: first, Terry is lying about
me and contraception; and second, this is not a mistake on his part, it is
absolutely part of his strategy. He is lying about numerous other issues as well,
and I know you will be shocked, but the media isn't doing much about it.

McAuliffe is not being truthful about. Please use this resource as you work to win
