Dear Lucas,
I thought I'd seen it all, but somehow the Tea Party in Congress keeps finding ways to lower the bar.
All of us can agree that women deserve equal pay for equal work - but late last week every Republican in Congress voted against the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure exactly that. That's just not acceptable in the 21st Century, when women still only make 77 cents for every dollar men make.
We deserve better. Much better. That's why I need you to add your voice to mine and make a contribution of $5, $20 or $50 today.
With your help, we will win this fight and achieve pay equality. Thank you for your ongoing support,
Carolyn B. Maloney
