Kerry will fight for equal pay

In a speech Kerry gave in Nevada this past Friday, he vowed to fight for equal pay for women:
“Today, for far too many women, the American dream seems a million miles away…[women are] working two jobs, three jobs, just to get by – and that’s only counting the jobs they’re paid for.” Nice!
It’s great to see that Kerry is recognizing all of the unpaid labor that women do at home and elsewhere.
Kerry also said that he would raise the minimum wage (from $5.15 to $7 an hour), which would help nine million American women.
And please don’t forget how Kerry got shit about mentioning the wage gap in the last presidential debate. Apparently some people just don’t want to hear the truth…
