A progressive political blog that highlights the infringement of religion upon today’s government.

I’m passing on to you all the contents of an action email I received from National Women’s Law Center.  Women in America are still paid dramatically less than their male counterparts earning a mere 77 cents on the dollar.  For minorities that difference is much greater.  The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act will go a long way to addressing this problem.

We’ve made it past the first vote — and we’re gearing up for round two in the Senate on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which would have a major impact on the lives of women who’ve been subject to pay discrimination.

With 57 Senators voting in our favor, we are now just 3 votes away from moving the bill forward. And we need your help to make fair pay a reality for women.

Here at the National Women’s Law Center, we’re reaching out to Senators in key states who voted the wrong way the first time around. If you live in one of the following states, at least one of your Senators voted against the bill: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Florida, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. Please e-mail that Senator now.

If you don’t live in one of those states, please forward this eCard to your friends, family, and contacts who do.

Thank you again for your support on this key bill. We couldn’t have made it this far without you.

Please, if you live in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Florida, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, or Virginia please email your senator and try to get them to support fair pay for women.  This is one of those issues where our congress has the opportunity to address a serious injustice, we just need to help them along.

I know people who know people in Nebraska and my wife has family in Texas so we will be sending a few of these cards out.  I wish there was more to be done but maybe this little bit will make the difference.  They are only needing 3 more votes.  You never know your call or email may be the one that makes it happen.  Isn’t this what makes our Nation great?

Thanks once again
