It's a story that despera...Thank you, Ellouise. It's a story that desperately neeeeeds telling. But have no fear, ERA IS NOT DEAD. I spearhead ERA ratification with my 300,000 members of the National Equal Rights Amendment Alliance for the last 12 YEARS, 18/7 before ONE Republican-no-NO STATE. We mentor 6 other States as they file ERA ratification bills. AND, as partner in United for Equality, we have created and filed A BRAND NEW ERA bill before the US Senate and House just this past year!<br /><br />HJRes 47 and SJRes 39 are bills there to speed up ERA passage into the US Constitution by proposing to eliminate the toothless time limit mentioned in the original ERA's introductory clause. This gives us ERA leaders the full breadth of time to secure 3 more States' ratifications .<br /><br />ERA MAKES SEX DISCRIMINATION A VIOLATION OF THE US CONSTITUTION. ERA is essential because:<br />1. No other edict/law/statute guarantees this!<br />2. It adds women and girls to the nation's contract with its people, the US Constitution. Right now, we are without a contract.<br /><br />That's right! And that's why the legislatures across America and the US Congress feels they can push us females around with their Legislative War on Women. That War's bullets are <br /><br />..a freakish and very scary 916 anti-woman, anti-family bills filed that would ban all contraception and anti-abortion horrors; the refusal to pass the simple-justice Paycheck Fairness Act this year as in all years passed; the refusal to ratify ERA or even hear that fair bill (Florida House; Florida Senate committees pass it, overwhelmingly, bipartisan now and then).<br /><br />Many legislators pooh pooh the need for an ERA in order to placate their campaign funders, Big Business, and in order to keep America divided along gender lines as well as race etc. "Divide and Conquer".<br /><br />For the most comprehensive, correct and current ERA bill actions and "Do it Now" action suggestions, please tour our..<br /><br />www.2PassERA.org.
