Equal Work Deserves Equal Pay

Rachel Maddow is right: according to the U.S. Census Bureau, women still only make 77 cents on the dollar compared to men. According to a new report, "Women's median earnings are lower than men's in nearly all occupations..." [IWPR, April 2012].

But Republicans are standing opposed to Fair Pay laws. House Republicans voted nearly unanimously against the Lilly Ledbetter Fact Pay Act. Just a few weeks ago, Republican Governor Scott Walker repealed Wisconsin's Equal Pay law.

Take action today! Tell your Congressman to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act.
Dear [Your Members of Congress],

Recently, the Governor Paul Walker of Wisconsin repealed the state's Equal Pay Law and House Republicans voted nearly unanimously against the Lilly Ledbetter Fact Pay Act.This is unacceptable.

Equal work deserves equal pay, and Congress should pass the Paycheck Fairness Act immediately.

Thank your for your consideration.

Sincerely,
