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!

Women deserve to make equal wages as men do. Women have the same exact expenses that men have. Go to the gas pump. Do women get a discount on gas? No. Do women get a discount on rent and mortgage? No. Do women pay less for utility bills, food, etc? No.Then put it into law.

How long will it take for the powers to be to realize that equal work deserves equal pay. Women are an intregal part of the work force and deserve the respect and the pay of their male counterparts. By the way, we do not live in dark ages anymore. Equal work=equal pay. Period.

Why don't you morons in the government stop undermining equal pay. Women deserve to paid as much as men. It's pathetic that you morons still think that women are baby making machines and that they have to wait on men hand and foot. Here's what you should do:GIVE THEM EQUAL PAY YOU MORONS!!!!!!!

The Fair Pay Restoration Act is an excellent bill that would greatly improve the lives of women and families. Women are at a great disadvantage as even in this day and age women very unfortunately still oppressed, controlled and denied basic rights or we wouldn't have to sign petitions like this. Men collectively need to fight this type discrimination against women because TALK IS CHEAP!

The women of this country in the past fought too long and hard to bear discrimination in the present. If we work just as hard as men, why aren't we paid the same as they are? We use more energy to get a physical job done because we are of a smaller build than men...Men in turn use less physical strength than women do...though I've seen where this argument is turned around, I don't agree. I'm not asking for more pay because women work harder, I'm asking for equal pay. When we stop thinking and seeing ourselves as separate and different, and instead as one, the discrimination, hatred and confusion will stop. We are all One in God's eyes and in the womb until 12 weeks of age...the only thing separating us, truly, is hormones.

I can't believe this is still going on. Without women the economy would come to a standstill. Many women do a better job than the men, Hmm,.. Perhaps they should be paid more. I wonder how that would go over.
