I have to send some appreciation to my Rep. from Oakland, Ms. Barbara Lee.
The House yesterday passed the Paycheck Fairness Act, H.R. 1338, by a vote of 247-178, strengthening the Equal Pay Act, to help women earn the same wage as their male counterparts.
Thank you! Thank you! It’s not often that I get to feel like the person I voted for is actually doing something that directly effects my life.
The only thing is, there’s no effing way that Bush is gonna sign it.
For more information, check out Feministing, as well as The Gavel.
Thank you Feministing for posting the YouTube that I so lazily lifted.
Oaktown in the hizzy!
Oak town in the hiyouse!
