Welcome to SheKos! SheKos is a diary series where both female and male Kossacks raise topics related to feminism, women's issues and causes related to improving women's lives. The Democratic Party has made some hefty promises to women, and we're here to help remind them of that.

Over the past few weeks, there have been some most EXCELLENT Diaries on women's rights( or lack there of). Kossack's Slinkerwink,angry mouse and LaFeminista( among others ) have written some great Diaries that deserve more than a cursory read. Yet,I kept having the same thought Over and Over.
If the ERA had ratified wouldnt this debate look totaly different ? I mean...We would have a CONSTITUTION to stand on!
This led me to start a little research and realized everything I thought I knew about the ERA( Equal Rights Amendment) was DEAD WRONG!
I grew up in the '70's. I'd like to go back to whatever wave that was and see what Ive missed.
Lets start with the final word on everything cool: School House Rock !!!!!

First: this is my first published diary.So, Please be kind.
I happen to live in arguably, the reddest county in Middle Tennessee . My Represenative is republican, not just republican but a variable Rovian Cheerleader .Disseminator of half truths and fear mongering all while preying on the poor blinded religious freaks that live around these parts.( no Harm meant) In order to turn this wealthy county blue it will take a Democrat that understands the specific challenges when dealing with this special breed of Southerner.
By Golly We've got one! Hes charming, eloquent,and intelectual! He definately gets this demographic and I believe has a real chance to turn some Red heads.
Below the fold you will find the e-mail I received from the chairman of the Democratic Party here in Williamson County. He is a much better and clearer writer than I ,so with his permission I've copied it here.
