ERA Congressional Bill Breakthru!
TODAY is INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY.
A most appropriate day to celebrate the progress of the ERA by
filing an ERA Resolution by Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin, doncha' think? This is the ANNOUNCEMENT we promised you OF OUR UNIQUE, NEW ERA BILL NOW BEFORE CONGRESS !
By a little after 6 pm today, March 8, 2011, a bill to remove the wrongly interpreted time limit from the Proposing Clause to the original Equal Rights Amendment will be filed in the Congressional hopper by Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin. We have been working closely with her for more than two years.
THE TIMING OF THIS IS A GIFT to all of us as workers' rights are taking center stage. We all need to stand together. Now is THE TIME.
CELEBRATE this moment as one more step closer to gender-equality in America! ERA Congressional Resolution will have a number and will have a momentous number of Original Co-Sponsors including Congresspeople Debbie Wasserman Schultz; Chellie Pingree (Maine); Jean Spier; and possibly Florida's Ted Deutch, Frederica Wilson, and iffy, Bill Young (R), my own Congressman with whom I've been working for the past 9 months on this! I have actually been working with the others non-stop since last year. ALL of us in United for Equality consortium have been working endlessly, too; some of them like me in their own ratifying states.
I've been continuing to work the Florida ratification bills, too, Also, have been helping to mentor the 6 other states legislatures as they file their bills. You might want to go to our national site (we now have multiple foci--Florida and the nation--for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment), www.2PassERA.org, for information that legislators rely upon in their states and in Florida as they file their bills to ratify.
YOU CAN HELP NOW! PLEASE CALL: Sen. Flores (SCR 286): 850 487-5130 and Rep. Plakon (HCR 8003): 850 488-2231 Say, "I urge you to hold ERA hearings asap. ERA can be a path to economic recovery, so why not capitalize on it!"
CONGRESS, MEET THE NEW ERA.

We brought equal rights to Afghanistan and Iraq. All new entities since WWII have an ERA! The EU has one too! The United STates does not have an ERA, and women are not paid equal to men. Let's all stand together for workers rights and ERA!
