ERA

Working on my “Button Book” I began to write about my pro ERA buttons.     That is not a Real Estate Agency,  Earned Run Average, or laundry detergent.  It is the proposed and passed by Congress, Equal Rights Amendment, written to guarantee equal rights for women in the United States Constitution, but also guaranteeing that men cannot be discriminated against by gender. As it turns out, the Amendment is still a live issue.  There are bills afloat to extend the deadline for passage. Three states are needed for ratification. (Amendments passed by Congress need a three quarters ratification by States.) How come I did not this was still an active issue?  How many other people don’t know? My buttons are still relevant.  That is both good news and bad news!!  More later.
