Women in politics
This last week has been one of celebration and rememberance. Thursday, August 26th, was the actual anniversary of the passing of the 19th amendment to the US Constitution. It was the 19th amendment that provided the legal springboard for women to vote through out the United States. It only took 70 years to win the fight and since then women continue to campaign for safer neighborhoods, better schools, and recognition as forces in the marketplace, workplace, and government. Women have achieved a lot of improvements in their own position — one legislative piece at a time. It is time that we get constitutional recognition for our whole personhood…Women were not included in the Constitution when written and have only be marginally recognized (the 19th amendment and the right to vote) since then. Join me and others in supporting a constitutional amendment that would recognize women as whole persons through out the country. Support the Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution!
