Fair and Equal Pay

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Oh, Obama! You really are all about hope and change!

The woman in the ad is Lilly Ledbetter. Yesterday, Obama signed a fair pay law that is called the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act.

How awesome is that? Now if only the Canadian government could get on board with legislation like that.
