Thank you, Lilly Ledbetter...

...and all the other women who have fought for so long for equal pay for women. Passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act is only one victory in the war, but I hope that it will make it easier for the many women who have lost thousands of dollars due to discrimination to seek justice. As RKMK has reminded me, those women included Congresswomen who broke party ranks to support this bill.

Thank you.
