Written by julianayrs on

With a brief flourish of his pen (he's left-handed, by the way) Mr. Obama affixed his signature to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Bill, then passed off the keepsake to Ledbetter as a posse of Government Officials nodded approval on the sidelines. The President noted that it was a historic moment. "I sign the Fair Pay Bill in honor of Lilly Ledbetter and those who came before her."

Obama Signs Ledbetter Act Into Law: Women Cheer!

Written by ActsofFaithBlog on
D o ya think some of the carping from certain entitled women will forever be silenced now that #44's first legislative signature is for a step towards compensation equality? Probably not, but they'll look a little more ridiculous in the future. I received an email from Kristen @ MomRising with this photo of her and Lilly Ledbetter at the White House this morning: "Passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act reverses a bad U.S. Supreme Court decision that made it impossible to win pay descrimination cases that were filed after 180 days of the pay being set--an important fix to a critical problem, ...
