Vets and Pay equality … VoteVets.org
When we were commissioned in the United States Army over forty years ago, pay equality was not an issue. Both of us were paid the same $450 a month paycheck we all received as no time in grade Second Lieutenants.
Pay was published in multiple formats and every soldier knew what America paid its men and women with zero discrimination for the youngest Private or Lieutenant to the oldest Command Sergeant Major or General.
But when our Soldiers leave the Army and enter the civilian workforce, life changes. And it changes more for our female veterans than for our males. Women on average receive about 25% less for equal work than their male counterpart.
We need your help fixing that.
Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), one of our great Senators, introduced S.84 – Paycheck Fairness Act on 23 January, 2013. In short, this act gets after the pay challenge for all American women, and our Veterans. It further goes after bosses who retaliate against employees who reveal their salaries to colleagues in an effort to produce the transparency in the civilian world that works so well in our Armed Forces.
But on multiple votes, the GOP has defeated the passage of this bill.
Thank you very much for reading. After you’ve sounded off on this issue, please share this email with your family and friends.
We’ll be in touch as the legislation moves forward.
All the best,
Major General (Ret) Paul Eaton & P.J. Eaton

Here’s a sneak peek at the results

Recently, I asked several of you to take part in our Supporter Survey to help ensure the successful launch of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in 2016.
If you completed the survey, please accept my heartfelt thanks for providing your personal guidance as we make important decisions about our opening exhibitions, special events, and other programming.
We’re still analyzing the survey responses, but I wanted to share the results from one key question: “How do you feel about the Museum’s commitment to presenting painful episodes of the African American experience, such as slavery and the Jim Crow era, in addition to positive aspects?”
An overwhelming 95% of survey respondents agreed that it’s important for the Museum to include the negative as well as the positive when presenting African American history. These results reaffirm strong support for the Museum’s mission to bring the entire African American experience to life.
The survey answers will provide our curators, educators, and historians with a better understanding of how especially dedicated Museum supporters like you feel on a wide range of issues — from the periods and areas of African American history we should focus on, to how we can best increase public awareness of the Museum.
With the personal support of people like you, we’re building a living, breathing museum that will educate all Americans about the central role that African Americans have played in our nation’s history … inspire a constructive national conversation on race … and foster understanding, healing and reconciliation. It’s a legacy you can be proud of.
Thank you again for your leadership and commitment as a supporter of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
All the best,
Lonnie Bunch
