So, I’m leaving you, Virginia. Here’s how to carry on, and carry on!!!

Time for Me to Ramble On

When Alice Paul first introduced the ERA, this was the most popular phone in the US.

I’m sad about this, Virginia. Some very big changes are coming in my personal life this year. They’re all good changes, but require lots of my time and energy. My consort and I are going through carreer changes, and will likely move out of state. So, sigh…,  the smart thing to do is to…

Pressure (Education) Is Key -- Letters to Editors in Swing Districts -- Get Writing!!

Oh, my dear Virginia, Del. Mark Cole used his chair on the Privileges and Elections Committee to block some of our key legislation from getting on the docket. We are not pleased. Bi-Partisan Redistricting  &  Equal Rights Amendment Cole can stymie democracy this way because the House of Delegates is controlled by folks who are very unfriendly to most of our policy agenda. Votes go along…

We got through the Senate — though it was a bit like pulling teeth from a mule.    Now the House P&E Committee refuses to put the ERA on the docket. This might be the end for this year.   Let’s insist that the ERA get a full and fair vote in the House of Delegates.

If you contact no one else, please at least contact the Chair of the committee, Delegate Mark Cole.

Well, Virginia, it’s not good. I wish I were writing with better news today. Instead, I write to ask you both act and remember. Tuesday, the Senate voted 21-17 to pass SJ216 and send the resolution to ratify the ERA to the House. Then, the vote was rescinded when, after 3 important wins for bills sponsored by Democrats, one Republican senator was late pushing his vote button and asked for another…

Today, the full Senate votes on SJ216, ratification, and will hopefully pass it over the House of Delegates with a firm ERA YES vote.
