EQUAL RIGHTS
In the late 1970s a proposed constitutional Equal Rights Amendment failed ratification by only three states. This amendment simply stated “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of Sex” I believe it is time to re-introduce this amendment, with a minor adjustment. I propose the following Equal Rights Amendment of 2022: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of Gender, Sexual Orientation, Race or Religion” Each and every one of us know someone who has been discriminated against because of their Gender, Orientation, Race or Religion. It’s time to do away with this discrimination once and for all by expanding these protections for all Americans.
