This is a tough one.

Who deserves to be the first woman on the new $10.00 bill? 

Is it a $10 or a $20?

Susan B. Anthony is a good choice. 

$10 Bill!!

Treasury Department to Put Woman on $10 Bill in 2020 

Helen Keller is another good choice. 

Betsy Ross? 

Rosa Parks? 

Sacagawea 

The public can give their input on this through a website. 

-10 points for horrific spelling Emp! ;)

GAAAHHHHHHHH. That is the correct spelling!! Lol 

Yes Puss, Betsy Ross... 

Oprah
or Caitlyn 

Harriet Tubman

Amelia Earhart

Eleanor Roosevelt

Pocahontas 

Sandra Day O'Connor? 

Lol, ummm, no Warren. Not sure why not feeling it, but just ain't. Unless she gonna give us all a new car or something, lol. 

Would it be wrong to suggest we should reserve Caitlyn for the $3 bill? Cuz it feels wrong. 

Lol, quit feeling it up and all shall be ok... 

Democracy is the theme for the next redesigned series and the Secretary will select a woman recognized by the public who was a champion for democracy in the United States. The person should be iconic and have made a significant contribution to ? or impact on ? protecting the freedoms on which our nation was founded. By law, only a portrait of a deceased person may be included on banknotes. Historically, the Secretary has relied on the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) to provide advice on themes, symbols and concepts to be used on currency. However, the Secretary is now asking for the public?s views on what qualities best represent democracy to help guide the design process.

Various Treasury officials will be conducting roundtables, town halls, and other meetings to collect input. We will also be reviewing all the comments coming in to the splash page and all content tagged with our ?TheNew10? hashtag. Treasury staff will review all input received and provide information to Secretary Lew over the course of the discussion.  

The Betsy Ross thing is probably myth. I know, I was disappointed to learn that too.

Helen Keller grew up to be a socialist.

What was the name of the woman who rode further than Paul Revere warning that the British were coming? 

I think that Elizabeth Cady Stanton fits the bill.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Cady_Stanton 

Never heard of her until now. Women's suffrage was her cause. 

Partial to Sally Ride. 

She and Susan B Anthony had separate groups for the Women's Suffrage movement, and somewhat begrudgingly joined forces. 

Oh yeah, I didn't even think of Sally Ride. Good choice. Harriet Tubman is a good one, too.

Lots of great choices. I wonder how they will narrow it down? 

WIP, I don't think that Helen Keller should be dismissed because she grew up to be a socialist. We don't hold the men that are honored on our money to current moral standards. I think they all had their flaws. The question should be, did the good outweigh the bad?

I don't know of anyone, male or female, that would score a perfect 100% in political and moral correctness. 

Remember the theme here is Democracy. Read the guidelines above. 

She was more than a socialist. She was a socialist activist. 

Yes PIB, I think a suffragist and/or abolitionist fits the theme of democracy.

I like Sojourner Truth for this as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sojourner_Truth 

Sojourner Truth! Perfect! 

WIP, Keller was also one of the founders of the ACLU. Love them or hate them, they do work hard to defend freedom in an equal opportunity kind of way. 

I just want assurances that replacing a man with a woman won't lower the value to $7.70

The good news is it'll still be enough to get me a sandwich. 

ACLU? You are making it worse, A5. But it does explain a lot about the purpose of the ACLU. 

Pocahontas


I could go for that. A nice counterpoint to the beast known as Andrew Jackson who currently inhabits the bill. Consider his dreadful Native American policy. 

Ayn Rand 

DPR, now Rand, I could totally go for!!!! 

Oh crud. It's the $10 bill not the $20 that they're redesigning? I don't like that. Hamilton should stay and Jackson should go. 

Bruce, I mean Caitlyn Jenner 

Mary Magdalene 

Here are some Woman that possibly deserve the honor:
1 Abigail Adams
2 Deborah Sampson Gannett
3 Madam C.J. Walker
4 Julia Ward Howe
5. Cathy Williams
6. F.M. Miller
7. Georgia O'Keefe
8. Victoria Woodhull - Would be #2 for me, but she was a "spiritualist". Otherwise she seems like a woman before her time. 

mo' bs and crap from the left side

 

Chaz Bono.
