Lily Ledbetter

Earlier this week, President Obama signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay  Act.  This states the 180 day statute of limitations for pay discrimination resets with each discriminatory paycheck .

The House passed it 247 to 171 and the Senate passed it 61-36 - this included every Democratic senators (except Ted Kennedy who missed the vote due to health issues) and all four female Republican senators. Every male Republican senator except Arlen Spector of PA voted against the bill. 

Equal pay for equal work.  It's not a difficult concept to grasp.
