Got this from MoveOn re: MomsRising (signatures needed)
Did you know that in most states mothers can be denied a job or given less pay for the same work, just because they're mothers? I didn't. And it shocked me. There's a lot of talk about family values in this country, but isn't it about time that we actually started supporting families and mothers?

We're working to collect 50,000 signatures and comments supporting Moms and American families, before Mother's Day, through a new campaign organization I'm leading called MomsRising. Can you join us? Just go to:

http://www.moveon.org/r?r=1710&id=7477-5209164-gqY.tZiMit9gWtNwj655XQ&t=4

MomsRising will deliver these comments to leaders in Congress and begin to build an anchor of support for real family issues: protecting mothers from discrimination in hiring, promoting the work flexibility that all parents need, demanding universal health care, and a living wage for all Americans so they can support their families.

2. Does DU not care about this?
Or has there already been a thread about this?

4. I got my own email about it from Move On.
I bet most people on this site got it. Maybe that is why no one is responding.
