Question For The Class: Wouldn't This Be The Perfect Moment To Re-Introduce The ERA ???

6. Done

The ERA is already in this session of Congress as bills SJ Res 21 and HJ Res 69. The Senate bill only has 14 cosponsors. The Democrat leadership is not cosponsoring the bills. Each person reading this should contact their US Senators and urge that they cosponsor the bills and urge that the full Senate be allowed to vote on the ERA bills. These bills have been introduced since 1985 but the men do not let the bills out of committees. These men are from both parties and liberals and conservatives. It is the men ruling Congress who do not allow the ERA bills to come to a full vote of either house of Congress. Women and men who believe in sex equality under the Constitution should join with others and millions of people should march on Washington and demand the ERA be voted on by the full Congress. 230 years and still no guarantee of Constitutional equality for women. This is a violation of human rights. We are not a real democracy until women have equality under the Constitution. If the men do not allow and vote for the ERA then they all should be voted out in Nov 2012. The President and Gov Romney should both be asked to support the ERA bills - so far neither of them supports the ERA bills.
