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.
