| Transcript | PAGE 2 BROADSIDE June 1982 ERA UPDA TE FLORIDA'S The vast majority of Florida's citizens now clearly support ERA. Our Florida action teams are working to bring increasing heat on those legislators who have opposed the Amendment. Gov. Graham has indicated he will call a special session of the legislature to vote on the ERA. Sixteen crates of pro-ERA letters have been been put into the state archives by Gov. Graham. One senator received over 30,000 letters. NORTH CAROL INA Go v. James Hunt has taken the procedural steps necessary to insure an ERA vote is possible in the June session there. The analyses in North Carolina is that we can win there by making a Historic final push. OKLAHOMA The message brigade produced so much mail, that according to the press, the governor and Key leaders were amazed. Gov. Nigh has indicated the possibility of a special session for the Equal Rights Amendment if Oklahoma's vote will put ERA over the top. He has backed up his action by entering the suit before the U. S. Supreme Court supporting NOW's position on the ERA Extension/Recission Law Suit. NOW is holding a daily ERA vigil at the State Capito I. ILLINOIS The ERA has become a centerpiece in the November election for Governor. Incumbent Jim Thompson, who has only lent passive support to the ERA is trailing his Pro-ERA challenger Adlai Stevenson in recent polls. We must influence a rules change in Illinois to drop the 3/5 majority ruling and encourage Gov. Thompson to produce enough Republican votes to ratify the Amendment. ERA YES! SOUTH CAROLINA |
