Declaration of Equal Rights
by coffeelibertyfreedom Wed Oct 19, 2011 12:16 pm
Idea to include a declaration of equal rights reminiscent of ERA. This would expand the Constitutional definition of Equal Rights and Opportunity. Please see wiki if unfamiliar with ERA amendment history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Rights_Amendment

discussing this with local occupiers this afternoon: there were good arguments that this could be a central part of the declaration. When "equalizing" the economic playing field, all players must be regarded as equals. Our laws still do not provide for 100% equality regardless of sex, ethnicity, gender, faith, creed, etc. We have Equal Opportunity in hiring practices, but no equality spelled out in the Constitution.

how can one have equal economic opportunity without true political equality first?
