It's been 83 years. Let's finally pass the ERA!
Edited on Sat Jun-10-06 11:49 AM by Progressive4Life
Contrary to what Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson would have us believe, there is nothing in the Equal Rights Amendment about killing children or castrating men. In fact, here is the text in its entirety:
Section 1. Equality of Rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex.

Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Section 3.
This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.

Very clear, concise, and to the point, n'est-ce pas?

Please contact your elected officials, and tell them to once and for all write EQUALITY into the Constitution.

1. or at least legislate the status quo of the present
Section 1: Equality of Rights under the law shall not be denied to white men who are of superior
due to their weapons of war.

Section 2: Congress will issue money, be controlled by money, and make sure that money is controlled by said white men (see section 1).

Section 3: This amendment is just a clarification, in case slaves, women, homosexuals, drugs users,
and poor people apply for false redress of what is eminently fair.


This is written, already in to the constitution by its framing, by the federal reserve act,
and by corporate citizens, the DEA and subsequent foreign policy designed to defend said racist state.
