Come on Dem Candidates! Endorse ERA Now!

Health care is foremost on voters’ minds, but it not the only important issue. And it is not a guaranteed win/win for the Democratic Party given all the Medical Industrial Complex money being spent to influence the election.

There is another issue that needs to become a major focus of the primary and the general election. That is the Equal Rights Ammendment aka the ERA. Now that a court has ruled women must register for the draft the last obstacle to an equal rights law is gone.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
