Many of you are probably not aware that certain members of the state legislature in Arkansas are trying to revive the Equal Rights Amendment. This has been going on for the last few legislative sessions. During the last go around, the people on the right went so far as to fly in Phyllis Shlafly to testify against the passage. The issue never made it out of committee.

The good news is that we have a new opportunity! The ERA is back before the committee again this year and we have 2 Democrats for it, 2 Republicans against it and a Democrat that is on the fence. Do you all think that we can let him know that the left has his back? The pressure from the homophobic right has been intense! The anti-feminists have drawn horrible pictures of women fighting on the front lines of war. We cannot let them win again... Not with victory within our grasp!

Do you REALLY think B.O. can do the job??

I saw this sign on the side of the road in Jonesboro, Arkansas tonight and I just had to stop and take a picture. The sign just screams of fear. Not the fear that Senator Obama is not ready to be President... This is a sign that says "We are afraid Senator Obama will be the next President and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it."
