As mothers, grandmothers, daughters, and sisters, we are compelled to voice our strong opposition to the candidacy of former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon to represent Connecticut in the U.S. Senate.
As Mothers Opposing McMahon, we know you don’t have
to be a mom -- or even a woman -- to recognize that what Linda McMahon has been marketing, especially to kids, is appalling, and unacceptable. She is on her way to spending $50 million
in an attempt to buy this election, money earned marketing extremely violent, sexually explicit content featuring abusive, degrading treatment of women. This open letter is an invitation to women
–- to other moms, grandmothers, daughters, and sisters --
and to every citizen of Connecticut, to join us in
sharing the truth about Linda McMahon to make clear she should not represent us in the U.S. Senate.
There is a real price paid for what Linda McMahon calls “soap opera,” by wrestlers who sustain terrible injuries in the ring, some even killed by an environment a Congressional investigation said encouraged steroid and illegal drug abuse. She earned her millions putting her workers at risk, and failing to provide health insurance
or other disability benefits. The candidate now promising to create jobs, laid off ten percent
of her workforce to protect her personal profits.
