*eats crow* Yummy! And I owe my Mom a pair of shoes. She was right. Seems like she Moms always is are…
Here’s the VP choiceSENATOR JOSEPH ROBINETTE BIDEN, JR.
On June 23, 2008 Senator Biden said:
“Of course [I would say yes],” he said. “If the presidential nominee thought I could help him win — am I going to say to the first African-American candidate about to make history in the world that, ‘No, I will not help you out like you want me to’? Of course . . . I’ll say yes.”
For the first time in the two-hundred thirty-three year history of the Army a woman will wear 4-star rank.Today, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates nominated, New York native, Army Lt. Gen. Ann Dunwoody for her forth star.She stands to make $189,205 a year in base pay—the same salary as General David Petraeus and the other eleven men who serve as full generals.Equal pay for equal work—what a concept!Meanwhile, a pay gap still exists in the government and private sector for women in science-related professions.It is time for congress to follow the DoD example and make wages equal for everyone by passing Fair Pay legislation…
…“Forty five years after President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law in 1963, women are still being denied equal pay for equal work,” said Marcia D. Greenberger, Co-President of the National Women’s Law Center. “It is long since time that Congress acted to ensure that the promise of the laws barring sex discrimination in employment can become a reality.”
As General Ann Dunwoody leads armed troops to protect America from our enemies; it’s time all Senators raise their arms and vote Yea for the Fair Pay Act to protect American workers.
