[Vision2020] Amendments

[David Douglas]

 Tom and visionaries,

First, I guess my recent history is a little fuzzy, so yes, could you
provide links?

Second, are you saying you are a strong supporter of women's rights only if
you support the ERA?

I'm curious, also.  In my reading of the constitution (which may not be
correct) the president has no active, constitutionally assigned role in the
amendment process.  That is he can't stop the amendment process by a veto or
something like that.  Can anyone tell me if I am incorrect on this score.

Best,

--
David Douglas

Check your recent history, Mr. Douglas.

President Reagan claimed to have been a strong supporter for equal rights
for
women.

In 1985 (I think it was '85), the House and Senate passed the ERA in spite
of
Reagan's attempts to quash it.  Thirty-six of the needed thirty-eight states
ratified it.  Result:  No Amendment.

Now.  Do you remember.  Or should I provide you links?
