Amendment.

Petition:
On behalf of women of the United States, United 4 Equality calls on the Obama Administration to stand united with women by publicly supporting HJ Res 47 and SJ Res 39—to remove the time limit for ratifying the ERA, allowing the time to garner the endorsement of the three additional states required for the Amendment to be ratified into the Constitution. Until U.S. women are guaranteed equality in the law of the land, they will not be full citizens of this country.

Supreme Court Justice Scalia stated in 2011 that gender equality in the U.S. was not definite as the Constitution reads today. Public support of this legislation will send a clear message to the American people and our worldwide neighbors that the Obama Administration firmly stands for the principals our nation was built upon.

We need your help! We need 25,000 signautes by May 12th! Please help us spread the word! This is our opportunity to finish the work our fore-mothers started! Via Luanne J. Smith: We are now at 1372. There is a battle between New York and Virginia, with New York now one ahead for 6th place.

Welcome back to Colorado, Michigan, Utah, Indiana, Montana, South Carolina, Idaho, and West Virginia, which hadn’t been heard from for some time. We also heard from South Dakota for the first time! But still nothing from North Dakota, and Wyoming and Nebraska still have only one signer. We need every state to be fully engaged for us to succeed.

Please help us contact the states with low totals to have them fully represented in the petition.

Top States:
Florida 104

California 94
Ohio 63
Oklahoma 59
