Please see ERA Call to Action #1 here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... The Equal Rights Amendment is alive and well! :)
This is an open-ended ratification process and we only need 3 more states to ratify.
Imagine my horror when I discovered that Illinois (!) is one of the 15 states outstanding. I intend to help change that, but quick - that's one down...
In light of the recent elections we have two other states that may be *encouraged* to do the right thing: Arkansas (solid blue now) and Nevada (purple).
I simply do not have time this morning to explain why the 14th Amendment does not cover women's rights, but you can find all that information and more at
http://www.equalrightsamendment.org /
PLEASE visit the site and lend your voice to make this amendment happen! We are so close - and the time is now!
For all of those who went before us...
Thank You!
