I pledge to support the Equal Rights Amendment and will do everything I can to ensure that the Constitution promotes equality and prohibits discrimination on account of sex. Over 200 years ago, women were intentionally left out of the Constitution. In this centennial celebration of suffrage, I will honor the women who sacrificed so much 100 years ago by using my vote to make the ERA the 28th Amendment to the Constitution.
