Harriet Tubman could be the first woman on the $20 bill. Awesome, well deserved—and about time

1. I think it's a great idea.

and, as she said, well-deserved and about time.

2. And no act of Congress is required. Rethugs can't block this one.

I hope President Obama will do it.

3. Tubman was a hero, and a great

candidate for the honor. Andrew Jackson has a lot of historical baggage, although I've always suspected that Jackson had serious mental/emotional problems. I think it's a wonderful idea to have at least one African-American and female hero on our currency.

4. Factual American history is important for a well rounded person

Apparently conservatives refuse to learn it, sad.

Good choice!

Again, collective conservative minds will explode.

5. I hope this becomes a reality...

We have had the dead presidents club for long enough. Let's start getting some other important people in our history acknowledged. K&R

11. Christopher Hitchens who argued long and hard for the Iraq War,

even after it was a proven failure?

THAT Christopher Hitchens?

7. Our money used to not use Presidents.

They used Lady Liberty.

8. I hope it happens.

The $20 Bill is handled by everyone, and having Harriet Tubman on it would make several excellent points. It would also piss off every racist asshole in this country. That would be reason enough for me.

9. Important figure...

... but doesn't rise to that level IMO.

10. Whoopieding. Now, about the minimum wage . . .

Cutting military spending . . .

Providing for a public option for AHCA . . .

Eliminating NAFTA, eliminating tax breaks for offshoring jobs, the TPP . . .

Creating affordable housing . . .

Taxing Wall Street transactions . . .

Moving to renewable energy . . .

Stopping global warming . . .

Closing the 800 US military bases overseas . . .
