Last week I wrote about how the House had passed this bill and it would soon be headed to the Senate. Good news is that the Senate has passed the bill (61 to 36) and it will soon be signed by President Obama. Wow, President Obama - that sounds great! Check out Lilly Ledbetter's reaction right after the Senate passed the Bill and also check out how each Senator voted.

Specifically check out the 36 Senators who voted against Fair Pay for Women. One of them is John McCain who when asked during the Presidential Campaign about this issue said of women:

"They need the education and training, particularly since more and more women are heads of their households, as much or more than anybody else," McCain said. "And it's hard for them to leave their families when they don't have somebody to take care of them.

No, actually Senator, we need a level playing field. Transparency in terms of what men are being paid versus women doing the same job.

Please send thanks to your Congresspeople and Senators for their yea votes and take those who voted nay to task.
