Thank you, Ms. Ledbetter, for choosing to fight.
The Fact is Women don't make less when they work in the same job with the same hours with the same experience. Sure there are some women who do earn less, but there are men who earn less. But in average women earn 98% of what Men make not 78%.

The question is, how much right does the government have to tell private employers how much they have to pay their workers? We accept that employers are legally required a certain minimum wage, but how much right to meddle beyond that? I know that I have been underpaid compared to other co-workers at times, even though I knew for a fact that my productivity was much higher, and how bitter I felt about the unfairness. But does that mean that I could demand the government level the playing field for me?
How many government mandates can we place on employers and expect them to compete in a global marketplace?
Why is Tagg Romney getting by with verbally admitting he wanted to conflict bodily harm on the President of the United States? There have been others arrested for exactly the same thing. Look it up.

Threatening the President of the United States is a class D felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871[1]. It consists of knowingly and willfully mailing or otherwise making "any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States". The United States Secret Service investigates suspected violations of this law and monitors those who have a history of threatening the President.
