_Tell Your Senators to Lift the Time Limit from the ERA_
(http://bit.ly/call4equality)
Please _join our call for equality_ (http://bit.ly/call4equality) ! PDA
members will be lobbying with our sister United for Equality coalition
members in the Senate Wednesday and Thursday this week. We need your support!
Your calls will help raise awareness for the visits. See below for
background information, a call-in script, and tips for a successful call.
_PDA stood up_ (http://www.pdamerica.org/blog/view/pda-endorses-the-era/)
for equality with our allies
National Director Tim Carpenter said, "We strongly endorse Congresswoman
Tammy Baldwin's Resolution [HJ Res 47] to 'remove the deadline for
ratification and clarify that upon ratification by three additional states, the
Equal Rights Amendment will be added to the United States Constitution.'"
_PDA National Board Member Rep. Woolsey said_
(http://woolsey.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=18§iontree=6,18&itemid=1051) : "It is with great pride
that I stand with this bipartisan group in support of the long-overdue
Equal Rights Amendment..... Here’s the text of the proposed Equal Rights
Amendment, 'Section 1: Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.' Replace
the word 'sex' with 'race', and there would not be a single dissenting vote
in the entire United States Congress."
_Please call_ (http://bit.ly/call4equality) during working hours through
July 1st. You can follow up in about a week, and ask if your Senators have
made any decision yet. For a direct line to your Senators, _use this
action alert_ (http://bit.ly/call4equality) .
Tips for a Successful Call
Ask to speak with the Senator's staffer working on constitutional and/or
women's issues. If that person is unavailable, ask to leave a message on
their voice-mail. Note: It's critically important to stress that you're
calling to support a resolution removing the time limit from the ERA, not the
"start over" new ERA legislation. Please limit your remarks to this issue
only. Include your own experiences which pertain to the ERA. MORE
