Today is Equal Pay Day in Texas.  It marks the day where women’s salaries finally equal men’s from the previous year.  In Texas, women doing the same job with the same experience and the same education make 79 cents for every dollar a man makes.

During the last legislative session, State Representative Senfronia Thompson got bi-partisan support for the Texas version of the Lilly Ledbetter Act.  It passed overwhelmingly.

Rick Perry vetoed it.  He said that Macy’s and Kroger’s asked him to, and Rick always does what his corporate overlords ask of him.  That’s because we have scientific proof that Rick Perry is an idiot.

Join Senfronia Thompson and a boatload of women in Houston today to kick some dirt and cause a storm.  My county will be marking the day with a press conference at 6:00pm

A woman in Texas should not have to pay a ta-ta tax.  This crap is gonna stop.
