In April, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) skipped the vote on the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which would have restored workers’ ability to pursue pay discrimination claims in the courts, and provide protection for women receiving unfair wages. McCain explained his opposition to the bill by saying that instead of equal pay protection, women simply needed “education and training.” A 14-year old girl knew better and questioned McCain about his absence and position on the bill to provide protection for equal pay. McCain responded, “I don’t believe that this would do anything to help the rights of women.”

You can watch his unbelievable remarks here:

Sen. McCain may care to do nothing to ensure an equal wages for women here and throughout the nation, but we know you care and will stand with One Wisconsin Now (OWN) to end discrimination against women in our state.

To celebrate the 45th anniversary of the initial Equal Pay Act of 1963 and challenge Sen. McCain to close the pay gap between women and men, please send this video to three of your friends.

Message:	Hey there, I just saw this video of John McCain telling a 14 year old girl that he doesn't think she deserves equal pay for the same work men do. You should check it out at http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/mccainnoequalpay, and then pass it along to your friends. June 10 marks the 45th anniversary of the passage of the Equal Pay Act, and I think it's an outrage that women still make about 22% less than men for the same work--and it's even worse that John McCain won't stand up and do the right thing for women everywhere. So, take a second, check out the video at http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/mccainnoequalpay, and pass the video along. We're trying to get 1,000 people in Wisconsin to see the video!
