From Momsrising.org: How cool would it be for Fair Pay to be one of the first things that that President-Elect Obama signs into law? It could actually happen!
We just heard that the House is set to vote on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act this week, and the Senate could vote as early as next week! Turns out that while the economic security package is tied up in negotiations, there is a rare window of unscheduled open time to pass long-needed bills. Congress is thinking action…and thanks to the incredible advocacy of MomsRising members and our aligned partners over the past year, Congress is thinking fair pay!
Tell Congress to not to miss this open window to pass Fair Pay!

Perhaps they could also work on something where men are required to an equal portion of the housework too. I know it’s a lot to ask but hey, what have I got to lose except more time doing the laundry
lol
Maybe we could bring that one up at the beginning of football season when they’re all distracted.
