Women deserve the same pay as men

| August 22, 2009 9:00 PM

It’s been four decades since passage of the Equal Pay Act. With the pay gap narrowing between men and women, with women receiving 77 percent of the salaries enjoyed by males, it’s time for women to speak out. With the housing costs, child care, medical, etc., you can make a difference.

Hillary Clinton asks for your voice to speak out before the Senate to pass this bill for equal pay for women. Write your thoughts to: The Honorable David Walker, Comptroller General, U.S. Government Accountability Office, 441 G Street NW, Washington, D.C., 20548.

TERRY O’NEAL
