f the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), its over half a million members, fifty-four affiliates nationwide, and countless additional supporters and activists, we urge you to vote in favor of H.R. 11, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and H.R. 12, the Paycheck Fairness Act and to oppose any motions to recommit. Passing both bills is critical to the goal of achieving pay equity for all. In this time of economic belt-tightening, the House of Representatives must help our nation’s employees receive the wages rightfully due them. Taking strong steps toward pay equity will play a supporting role in the effort to stimulate the economy and ensure self sufficiency for American workers and their families.
