| Transcript | BROADSIDE HOUSTON AREA NOW VOLUME 13, NO. 4, MAY 1982 OF PRIMARY CONCERN May 1 is primary election day. You must be a registered voter as of April 1 in order to vote in the primary, and you must vote either Democrat or Republican. This is also a day to get involved in some grassroots politics at your precinct convention. You should be there when the poll closes (The meeting could be 15 to 30 minutes after the 7:00pm closing, this is up to the precinct judge, so ask when you vote) and have other voters in your precinct that you know share your convictions join you. You can introduce resolutions for the party to address at the Senatorial Convention (such as the Nuclear Freeze), and vote in opposition to any resolutions someone might introduce such as the anti-choice or anti-ERA, and other anti-woman issues. Also if possible, get yourself elected as your precinct delegate for the senatorial convention. This is where it starts if you are to be a delegate to the State and National Conventions. Recent polls have shown that women are making the difference in who gets elected, based on issues of feminist concern. This is a way to have more say with your vote. Democratic Party Hdqtrs. 523-9297. Republican Hdqtrs. 522-1005. Call the party of your choice for more information. EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT RATIFICATION GOES TO THE WIRE! The Florida legislation will go into the special session called by Gov. Robert Graham in the first two weeks of June to decide the ratification of the ERA. Florida is lovely in late May and early June, so why not take a vacation and work for the ERA. The Boycott of unratified states has been lifted for Miami Beach and the duration of the campaign in Florida, plan to spend your vacation doing something for the ERA. North Carolina will go into session in June. The 19th amendment giving women the vote was ratified in special session as was the amendment to lower the voting age to 18 in Oklahoma. Gov.Nigh (OK) has said he would call a special session there if ratification looked likely (if at least one other state passes it.) Another way to help would be to send donations to NOW/ERA Fund/ P. O. Box 66351/ Houston, TX 77266. To find out ways to help here at home check with Melissa Key at 520-8489.
