Equal time for equal pay
After years and years of coverage and awareness, women still only earn 76.5 cents for every $1 a man makes. That affects not just quality of life, but the ability to raise your family. And women are paid differently even when men are doing the same job. Say Angie Paccione, in the Rocky Mountain News:
"If we stayed at the same place with civil rights as we have stayed with worker's rights and women's pay, there would be outrage.""It's like saying we're going to grant you civil rights, but you still have to stay in the back of the bus. We would not allow that, but we still allow for women to get paid significantly less than what men get paid for doing the same job."

Since we're equal in God's sight and all men are created equal (clearly meaning all Americans) - why do Christian Constitutionalists have such problems with this?
None so blind as those who WILL NOT SEE.
Well, I say we break out the pliers and get medieval on their eyelids.
The Ole Boys Club has been in charge for centuries and look where it's gotten us - corrupt corporations, corrupt political process, war, war, war and stacks of dead kids.
Time to let the ladies have a turn at bat, they sure as hell can't do much worse.
Just saw on CNN that the number of uninsured in 2005 was 47% and in 2001 in was 20 something percent.
