    Thank you for this, it's so important and I don't see many politicians taking this seriously. Thank you Mr. President for supporting this issue.

    speaking for an international point of view, Mr. Obama would be the only person to implement these kind of changes in your country. this is highly significant to a progressive nation

    This has been be fought for so long, and women still do not get equal pay. This needs to be passed & enforced because women are falling behind daily. And we have to live on less when we retire also.....And we have to work harder than the men to keep our jobs.

    if this election was up to the rest of the world, Obama would be re-elected. Please dont look at the economy and make a big mastake with who you vote for. Economic crisis is everywhere. Even Germans still have to battle it although our economy compare to most countries is the strongest. I am German/ Ghanaian and i support Obama. So America please make us all PROUD!!!

    When I asked for equal pay because I actually did more work than my male counterparts, I was fired.
