Women's Equality Day all day August 26: Seven calls will help

ERA CALL-IN DAY 50- STATE CHALLENGE -

In honor of Alice Paul, the author of the ERA, we’re hosting a nationwide house party with Congress! Where ever you are today, please take 10 minutes to make 7 quick calls to Congress in support of the 3-state strategy for ERA! (10 states – 7 calls = 3 states)

SIMPLE MESSAGE:
"In celebration of Women’s Equality Day, I want to thank you for advocating for women’s rights and give you an exciting option to consider. Refrain from hitting the reset button on ERA’s ratification efforts when we already achieved 92% of the states required. INSTEAD, Strike down ERA's deadline of June 30, 1982, so that the final THREE states may complete ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. 222 years of exclusion from our Constitution has been a long and bumpy road. Give EQUALITY for women a clear path to victory in 2009. THANK YOU!"
