August 26, 1920, marks the passage of the 19th Amendment guaranteeing the right to vote to U.S. citizens regardless of sex - after 42 years of hard work and dedication by a number of women. Almost 90 years later, there is not a Federal holiday in the United States honoring a woman.
But we can change that.
Visit http://www.PetitionOnline.com/August26/ where there is a petition requesting U.S. Congress to make August 26 a Federal holiday honoring women. Please read. And if you agree with what it says, add your signature. (Signatures are NOT available for public viewing!)
Make your voice heard. It’s every woman’s right!
