The Equal Rights Amendment was proposed in 1923 by Alice Paul.

Think we can get it ratified before the 91st anniversary of her introducing the idea?

It will be resubmitted to congress next Wednesday by Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). There's also a petition at the White House with almost 30,000 signatures. Why not pop over and sign it if you haven't already, and share it, too.

Happy Women's History Month.
