Office of Equal Rights

I would like to see this department deal with issues of LGBT, Women, Minorities, and other areas of oppression. Right now in the USA we have a backlash against women's reproductive rights, the racist murder of Trayvon Martin, and the continued harassment of LGBT folks. I'd like to see this group initiate legislation, file law suits, and prepare an amendment for the constitution that protects folks other than land-owning white males.

Enough is enough.
