Obama has kept campaign promise
To The Editor:
The women of Lehigh Acres, Lee County, Florida and all of the United States should be thankful to Michelle and Barack Obama for the passage of the “Lily Ledbetter Equal Pay Restoration Act” passed on jan. 28, 2009.
Now single mothers will be able to receive equal pay for equal work.This parity of pay will enhance women’s pay checks though a lifetime of work.
The cumulative effect will be higher Social Security income for women over 62 years of age.
More will be able to keep their homes and better afford all the increase that affect anyone on a fixed income.
So, all women should be grateful of Obama’s priority by have this bill passed so early in his presidency, thus keeping one of his campaign promises.
