Florida’s Bill Cosponsors 2011 NEWS! Florida's ERA Bills are now filed again: SB 0286. House bill numbered soon

We are honored to announce that Bills to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment are filed again by our visionary, Prime Sponsors, Senator Nan Rich (D-Broward), SB 0286, and Representative Lori Berman (D-Miami-Dade).

Please email to thank them and tell them that YOU are working alongside with the Equal Rights Alliance to garner cosponsorships and get ERA heard—thank you so much:

Rich.Nan.web@flsenate.gov and Lori.Berman@myfloridahouse.gov. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR LIST OF THE 2009 COSPONSORS and the CURRENTLY SERVING COSPONSORS SINCE 2004. Please call them now, before their schedules fill up. THANK YOU for your fine work.

THE PROCESS FOR A BILL TO BECOME LAW IN FLORIDA

IT IS now the FL Senate Committee Chair who needs to be persuaded to LET THE ERA BILL HAVE A VOTE/HEARING. No Hearing—no Vote—ERA cannot Pass this year ! We’ll be back to you to do the same for the House bill, tba. HEAR THE ERA BILL. That’s why we urge you and your membership to SEND LARGE NUMBERS OF POSTCARDS IMMEDIATELY in 2011 TO Senator Flores, Senate Committee Chair urging her to “PLEASE HOLD HEARINGS ON SB 0286, the ERA, IN EARLY MARCH!” (Postcard OR phone OR email. Keep those fingers dialing, clicking and writing until March has ended! It works.)

Say: “I am a constituent (IF you are). I am calling to urge that the ERA bill be put on the
agenda and given a hearing as soon as possible. ERA could help rescue Florida’s economy
as well as helping to ease the heavy burdens of men and women voters.”

HOW TO CONTACT YOUR OWN FLORIDA REPRESENTATIVE AND SENATOR about supporting the ERA

ERA bills are filed every year by their Sponsors. The rest of the House and Senate is urged to “co-sponsor and vote for the ERA bills” by Equal Rights Alliance/us and others—more importantly, YOU, their bosses who vote them in or out. Search your representative and your senator in the list below. If you don’t see her/him, send an e-mail to urge her/him to “co-sponsor and vote for the ERA bill” before the Florida legislature.

To find out who your Florida representative and senator are, click www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/representatives.aspx, for Florida representatives. You’ll need to know your own zip code + 4-digit extension to find your representative. To find what your full zip code is, click ZIP+4 Lookup Service. Zip codes for post office boxes are not available.

You will only need your main 5-digit zip code to locate your Florida senator at www.flsenate.gov/Legislators/.

For your legislators’ e-mail addresses, here’s the formula:

E-mail your FLORIDA HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE,

     firstname.lastname@myfloridahouse.gov

E-mail your FLORIDA SENATOR,

     lastname.firstname.web@flsenate.gov

[Please see LINKS for more interesting connections]

If you do not find your own Florida senator or representative in the following list, do please contact them (as above), and ask them to “co-sponsor and vote for the ERA bill” at your earliest convenience before March, when the Legislative Session begins.

For your convenience in thanking them and urging that they repeat their support for the ERA bill for the next Session, the FOLLOWING ARE CURRENT AND PAST ERA BILL SPONSORS AND CO-SPONSORS. They are stalwarts for the Equal Rights Amendment who stand and speak for it as well as promise to vote for ERA.
