Oct. 12 Bucket List Joe - Michael Moore "President Biden, for almost four years, you have had the power to order the United States Archivist to publish the now-ratified Equal Rights Amendment as the law of the land. Will women-haters try to sue to stop it? Well, of course they will! So what! Let ‘em. When does our side stop being so chicken-shit? 93% of the country believes women should have the same rights as men. You have the legal and Constitutional authority to permanently enshrine this Amendment where the American people overwhelmingly want it: IN OUR UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION! 

DO IT TODAY! It will take less than two minutes! About the same time it took Lincoln to give the Gettysburg Address."Michael Moore

Oct. 7 If you believe in Democracy - VOTE "Today in America the wealthy hold the majority of the power, while being only 1% of our population — this is not a democracy, it is an oligarchy. More government representation is needed by the remaining 99%, tired of the imbalance of power, needing their voices heard, tired of paying all expenses of the wealthy while struggling to make ends meet. There needs to be a corresponding percent of elected officials that represent the population. Women, who comprise the majority, still do not have equal representation — the Equal Rights Amendment has not yet been ratified." Midland Daily News

Oct. 9 Statement on the Equal Rights Amendment | ACOG "We urge the United States Congress and the administration to do everything in their power to finalize the Equal Rights Amendment so that the promise of equal rights under the law, including the right to access comprehensive reproductive health care such as abortion, may be realized." The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

Oct. 10 Lisa Ann Walter: My Lifelong Fight to Pass the Equal Rights Act | Glamour "They are uniformly outraged to learn that this isn’t true—that although the required 38 states ratified the amendment to guarantee that women are equal citizens with equal rights in America, they did so after a timeline that imposed by Congress to achieve it had expired. So it never passed. It’s a big problem, the Not Being Equal Citizens. But also the incredible fact that these educated, engaged, involved young people don’t know." Glamour Magazine

Oct. 16 I need the ERA because…the voice of the US legal profession endorses it! - Equality Now "In August 2024, The American Bar Association, the largest national volunteer association of lawyers in the world, adopted Resolution 601 championing the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).
