Watch in pics for Sandy Oestreich, Pres., National Equal Rights Amendment Alliance in the red polka-dot dress with Equal Rights Amendment Crew Chief BJ Kling in pics at the mike, etc. “Absolutely astonished and thrilled at the turnout and the amazing number of Equal Rights Amendment organizations here, most we weren’t even aware of! But they sprang into action just as www.WeAreWoman.us did when they heard what Ol’ Limbaugh called a young lady lawyer! And when they SAW listings of the 916 anti-woman, anti-family bills filed IN JUST 3 MONTHS across the USA and in Congress continuing!
The forest fire of neo-medieval sex discrimination now scorching the country will be made AVIOLATION OF THE US CONSTITUTION by Equal Rights Amendment! We have a commitment from other organizations and individuals now to FOCUS with lazer-gaze on PASSING THE Equal Rights Amendment since Equal Rights Amendment under girds all issues of women and the men who respect and love them! NOTHING else has the power.”
First, IMPORTANT Equal Rights Amendment task right now, please, for you: Please phone Florida’s US Congressman Bill Young, 727 394-6950 (say “Cong Young PROMISED to co-sponsor HJRes 47 to pass Equal Rights Amendment at the August St Pete Republican Picnic. I am REMINDING him, and there are witnesses.”) Then phone US Senator Bill Nelson, 1 888 671-4091. (say,“For years 300,000 Equal Rights Amendment members of the Equal Rights Amendment NATIONAL MOVEMENT have asked for Sen. Nelson’s co-sponsorship of Equal Rights Amendment bills. SJRes39 is his chance to stand up for women and watch them vote!. We expect co-sponsorship now.” CLOG their phones. Both are the sister-ERA-bills to speed up Equal Rights Amendment passage that we helped create and file!
