Obama's work started years ago when he set up job training to get people back to work, helping to lift-up their families, moving people from welfare to jobs, passing tax cuts for hard working families, working with afterschool programs to keep kids safe and making sure women got equal pay for equal work. As part of the United States Senate, Obama has fought to insure that men and women who serve this country are welcomed home with good jobs, benefits and health care, to build an economy and to make sure that every single child in this nation has world-class education. Barack Hussein Obama II was born on August 4, 1961, at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii to Harvard-educated economist Barack Obama, Sr., a native of Kenya. Obama's mother S. Ann Dunham was born on Nov. 29, 19...

Remember the first African American astronaut to travel into space, Dr. Guion S. "Guy" Bluford, Jr.? (Robert Henry Lawrence, Jr. was actually NASA's first Black astronaut but died in a California training mission in December 1967.) Bluford, a highly decorated Air Force colonel who flew hundreds of combat missions over Vietnam as a fighter pilot and would obtain a doctorate in Aerospace Engineering before his admission to the U.S. Space Program. Col. Bluford was passed over unceremoniously by NASA in favor of Mission Specialist Sally Ride, a White woman, in the early 1980s. Dr. Bluford would eventually pilot four space shuttle missions, serving once as mission commander. Change and the resistance to change is a major theme in "Why We Can't Wait," one of several books authored by Dr. Mart...

A report by the United State's General Accounting Office reveals the Canadian experience of pay equity issues on a national and provincial level. The report states that Canada has a pay-equity system for federal employers. In Ontario, there is a pay equity system for private employers as well. There should be equal pay for both men and women in comparable positions based on value assigned. In 1992, the federal government paid over Can $500 million in pay-equity adjustments.
Fair pay for women Tuesday is Equal Pay Day and, once again, there's a significant gap between what employers pay women and men for comparable work. On average, women earn just 78 percent of what men earn.
The number of female inmates is growing and most of them lack the skills and education to go on in life. These women could create greater societal problems if they are not given educational and skills programs. A survey conducted among state prisons for women indicated that some of their problems include aging equipment, limited funding and lack of competent civilian staff. It is recommended that certifying programs be granted by industries or state board for inmates and that equal pay be given to men and women in comparable inmate jobs.
Loser: We're not sure why Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., was so reluctant this week to sign a declaration calling for equal pay for men and women. His staff says he wanted to study the issue more. This isn't rocket science. Plenty of debate exists over how to calculate real pay equity between the sexes, and some legitimate argument can be made that the highly touted figures (that women make 76 cents for every dollar a man makes) are inaccurate. But the concept of equal pay? That shouldn't require much study to support.
