When Your Actions Follow Your Words

Today President Obama's signed his first bill as president into law--The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.It is a great moment in history when a president's first law enacted ensures equality for women in the workplace.



The Bush Administration blocked the bill in the last session of Congress. But Obama strongly supported it — he talked often about Ledbetter during his campaign. But rarely does a president do what he has promised when he finally gets in office. And instead he makes it his priority.

Imagine that...women's rights a Presidential priority.

I feel it is safe to say there have been more advances in human rights, and more specifically in women's rights in the last two weeks than there have been in the last 8 years.
