Currently there is a push to get Andrew Jackson replaced on the Twenty dollar bill. The woman chairing this effort would like to see this accomplished by 2020. Her claim is that it is time that a woman be placed on the paper currency rather then just on coinage, the dollar coin.
What are your thoughts?, It doesn't matter to me since it all spends the same! :D
But really I think the paper money should stay with the presidents!
With the list of women that are posted here I knew very few of them,maybe they should start with the two dollar bill instead!:confused:

1. Alice Paul
2.Sojourner Truth
3.Rosa Parks.
4.Betty Friedan
5.Shirley Chisholm
6.Rachel Carson
7.Barbara Jordan
8. Margaret Sanger
9.Patsy Mink
10.Clara Barton
11.Harriet Tubman
12.Susan B. Anthony
13.Eleanor Roosevelt.
14.Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
15. Francis Perkins

I guess my vote would be for Clara Barton, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks and Susan B. Anthony and she's already got a coin. The others, don't know any of them?
Nothing against them, just don't know their stories

Soooo, Who would you vote for? :cool:

I'm not sure what any of them did...... Except Rosa Parks. I don't think she deserves to be on the $20. Heck, what did Susan Anthony do? It's only a matter of time before we have a woman President, but being the 1st doesn't justify replacing Andrew Jackson. She will have to do something grander than raising more money than the other guy to get elected. Maybe we/I need a history lesson.

I'm not sure Ben Franklin was ever a President.:confused:
 
One more "chip" out of tradition. Different people and organizations have been chipping away at American tradition for a long time now. This is just one more chip. I have ho doubt that it will happen.

Me, well, I a very traditional guy. I honor and cherish people, events. etc from this nations past. It reminds us who we are and where we came from. This kind of thing really gets my goat but, well, whaddaya gonna do?!? :mad: :(
 
Wow! That's quit a list. Was that meant to be a joke or something? Most of these women would be totally unacceptable to me, with a few exceptions. In my view, Harriet Tubman is the most impressive and deserving to be on US currency. What she did and overcame was amazing. She walked the walk, and lead the life. Few men or women could surpass her bravery. The commitment she had to her cause, and the dangers and risks to her life would be similar to what the Founding Fathers endured. None of the other women on that list risked life and limb like Tubman did. To me, that counts for a lot.
