Equal pay for equal work!

I refuse to accept that after all we been through over the course of history people are still debating if woman should have equal pay. It's 2012! No women should get paid less than a man for doing the exact-same job. Women are no longer the slaves of the house, having to take care of the children on her own. We now have a voice and the right to express it, we are now accounted for in this country and in the world.  I support Obama because he believes in equality not just for women but for everyone in this country.  When obama became president the first bill he signed was the  "Lilly Ledbetter fair pay act",to help women get equal pay for equal work. Sadly, women still only make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. Is that fair? Why should man get paid more for doing the same job as women? When most of the time women do the job more efficiently than men! Obama knows the struggles woman deal with daily because he grew up watching his mom deal with these struggles ,being a single mother wasn't easy for her working hard each and every day trying to provide her children with the life she was never offered.  America needs a leader that has had struggles in their life ,someone that started out with nothing but gradually worked their way up to the top. You can't expect someone who was brought up with wealth to know, what is essential for this country. Mitt Romney believes that earning 23 cents less than men isn't a big deal but to many families that is a big deal, the money adds up.

Lily Ledbetter stated that: " maybe 23 cents doesn't sound like a lot to someone with a swiss bank account but gov. Romney , when we lose 23 cents every hour, every day,every paycheck,and every job over our entire lives what we lose can't just be measured in dollars"

America needs a president that will open new doors for us women not old doors. We need a president that will stand by our side when most of the country won't. Barrack Obama believes in the American dream and the American people; he brings us forward not backwards.
