Support Women's Right to Equal Pay
Target: U.S. SenateSponsored by: National Women's Law Center
Too many women in this country are getting paid less than they should be. If our leaders really want to stimulate the economy, they should boost women's paychecks by making sure they can earn an equal wage for equal work.
Unfortunately, a recent Supreme Court decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber severely limits workers' ability to protect their rights. The decision makes it virtually impossible for workers to sue for pay discrimination and rewards employers for hiding inequities.
But a bill awaiting a vote in the Senate would help women fight for fair pay. The Fair Pay Restoration Act would correct the unjust Supreme Court ruling and give all employees a better shot at a fair workplace.
Now, with the Fair Pay Restoration Act advancing through the Senate, Congress can correct the Supreme Court's wrong -- and make sure women are earning more than just peanuts. Urge your Senators to support the Fair Pay Restoration Act today!

This is ridiculous!! isn't time that women got same rights and pays as men??? Just outgrow your long due complex of inferiority towards women(which is the cause of all this nonsense), rise above it and give equality to all.

Women deserve equal pay, period. Women deserve to be treated with more respect.

How is it in the 21st century this is still in question. Women have more than proved themselves in the workplace and every aspect of society. No more discrimination! Equal pay NOW!

Discrimination only weakens a culture. Powerful women will only make a country more powerful.

Equal pay for equal work! In the "old days" men supported their families and few women worked or they worked until they got married. Now many women are sole support for their families. They need the same pay for the same work.

Why do women make less? It's doubtful congress could really comprehend this discontinuity, because they make too much and we don't make nearly enough down here at the bottom of the food chain.
