Yes,  Senator McCain said that. Now what? 
Dear Friend,   
I'm getting in  touch to thank you for responding to the email from  
Care2.com and signing our petition calling on Senator McCain to stop  blocking a vote 
on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. 
Our allies on  Capitol Hill have told us that this bill will come up for 
another vote  within the next three weeks. We're just amazed by your response so  
far—almost 50,000 people have signed the petition. Help us get to our new  
goal of 60,000 signatures before we deliver the petition to Sen. McCain.   
Would you  please send the petition along to some friends and help us make 
our goal  of 60,000 signatures? We've added some text at the bottom of this  
message; you can just forward this email along, and remove the top part.  Or you

If you're as  outraged by this as I am, I hope you'll spread the word to some 
friends  and colleagues, and help us develop the momentum we'll need to pass 
the  Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. We'll deliver the petition signatures to Mr.  
McCain's Senate offices next week. So please do go ahead and let some  friends 
know today. 
Thank you for your  efforts on behalf of women like Lilly Ledbetter—and for 
working to build a  better world.

Subject: Tell  McCain: Stop insulting women  
Dear Friend,   
Recently, Senate  Republicans filibustered the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, 
a law that  would have overturned an appalling Supreme Court decision that 
practically  abolished remedies for gender-based compensation discrimination in 
the  workplace. In opposing this legislation, Senator John McCain said that if  
women want better-paying jobs, they just need more "education and  training." 
Let's tell  Senator McCain that he should stop blocking an up or down vote on 
the  Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Women don't need more "education and  
training." They need the Senate to ensure equal rights for women under the  law.  
Please have a  look and take action.
