Tell Congress: Support equal pay for women.

Subject: Tell Congress: Support equal pay for women. Dear Friend, Last year, the Senate failed to get the 60 votes necessary to force an up-or-down vote on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which would mandate that women receive equal pay for equal work. Now, with a new session of Congress in place, the House is ready to take up the fight again. With President-elect Obama soon to take office, we now have a real chance to pass this legislation that could do so much for so many American women. There will be a battle in the Senate, and the best way to come out of the gate strong is for the bill to pass by an overwhelming majority in the House. Women across America are counting on Congress - I just took action to tell my member of Congress to support the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. I hope you will, too. Please have a look and take action. http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/support_ledbetter/?r_by=2087-483099-aixs4Px&rc=paste Thanks!
