Ratification Process of the Equal Rights Amendment Moves Another Step Towards Approved Resolution

By Bernadette Cahill (originally appearing in the High Country Press, March 14, 2012)

Full ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which would guarantee equality under the law on account of sex in the U.S. Constitution, will move another step closer on Thursday, March 22 when Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-Md.) introduces in the Senate a resolution to remove the ratification deadline – and North Carolina’s senators could help make it happen if they sign on as sponsors.

Senator Cardin wrote last week to all his colleagues, including Senators Kay Hagan and Richard Burr of North Carolina, inviting them to become original co-sponsors of the measure.

SHARING A LINK– WITH A CAVEAT

The ERA-NC Citizens Task Force for Ratification believes it is important to share articles with you that reiterate the need to ratify the ERA  and NOW, since that is what we are working toward.  Please share such articles with us.

However, please be informed that  while notably partisan articles are not our style and we do not utilize attack as our communication method, we share the articles with the hope that you will find the kernels of truth that  DO support final ratification of the ERA.   Passionate, positive voices, regardless of partisanship, can  teach us more about  OUR  convictions and inspire us to action.

On a different  note, if any of  our readers come across an article with objections to ratification, please share that with us as well since we must understand opposing views and where their objections are rooted in 2012.  We need  to listen and to speak to those ideas as well.
