ERA is now at the Tipping Point. ERA needs YOU

Convey your strong ERA need by CALLING these 4 MOST IMPORTANT of all ERA-targetted Florida Legislators immediately. Choose what you will say from below, or use your own words. Thanks, all of us at Equal Rights Alliance, Inc, sandyo@PassERA.org.

Emails tend to just get deleted, but phone calls usually get repeated to the legislator. Asking for “the Legislative Aide” before leaving your message is the better approach; very unlikely you will be talking to the legislators her/himself. This is just how it’s done…and it WORKS.

FOLLOWING ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT LEGISLATORS FOR ERA now. CALL the Legislative Leaders: Speaker Dean Cannon in the House (407-623-5740)

and Senate President Mike Haridopolos in the Senate (321-752-3131). They decide which bills get heard...unlike other states!

Also, CALL Chair Clay Ford of the Federal Affairs Subcommittee in the House (850-595-5550) and Chair Anitere Flores of the Judiciary committee in the Senate (305-270-6550) These are the first committees that ERA bills have to pass. IF ERA doesn’t get heard and passed in their committees, it will be stalled again.
