Susan B. Anthony memorial refuses to accept Trump’s pardon of civil rights leader
A pardon would ‘validate’ the injustice she suffered, group says.

A group honoring the life and legacy of American civil rights icon Susan B. Anthony has refused to accept President Trump’s posthumous pardon of her, arguing the effort would give unearned legitimacy to the 1873 court proceedings that found her guilty of breaking a law that prohibited women from voting.
Trump this week announced he was pardoning Anthony for the conviction, a measure the president took on the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which recognized the right of women to vote.
Yet the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House this week rejected the president’s gesture, telling the president in a press release that the memorial organization “must decline [his] offer of a pardon.”
The foundation noted that Anthony, when she was convicted of voting, refused to “pay a dollar of [the] unjust penalty.”
“To pay would have been to validate the proceedings. To pardon Susan B. Anthony does the same,” the museum said in its statement.
“If one wants to honor Susan B. Anthony today, a clear stance against any form of voter suppression would be welcome,” the announcement continued. “Enforcement and expansion of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 would be celebrated. ... Support for the Equal Rights Amendment would be well received. Advocacy for human rights for all would be splendid.”
Anthony, who was also a noted abolitionist near the end of slavery in the country, was the first woman to be depicted on U.S. coinage, with her profile being stamped on a dollar coin from 1979 to 1981.
I am in this ongoing “discussion” with my liberal relative. I know some see this as a hopeless confrontation. But I am educating them on issues they don’t believe are true such as the fact that the Dem party is now the Socialist/Marxist party.
We are doing this discussion over email.
Thank God for FR, my source for my “ammunition”.
Please ping me whenever you post something that establishes the way out leftist nature of today’s democratic party. THANKS!
Yes, thank you so much! Vlad also posted a link.
Great “ammunition” for my “discussion” with my liberal relative!
So this person’s agenda is clear. It is more of the TDS illness.

"Where Joe Biden see's American darkness, I see American greatness. We've seen heroic doctors and nurses racing into action to save lives. We've seen first responders helping strangers in need..." President Trump 1/3— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 21, 2020
"We've seen the passage of historic legislation to save 50 million American jobs. We've mobilized American industry like never before...." President Trump 2/3
"We've built military hospitals from scratch, produced life saving therapies, and are on track to develop the most incredible, from a standpoint of time, record time, vaccines." President Trump 3/3
"It's time to reject the anger and the hate of the Democrat party." President Trump
"No party can lead America that spends so much time tearing down America." President Trump
"The biggest part of last nights speech was what Joe Biden didn't talk about. He didn't talk about law enforcement. He didn't talk about bringing safety to Democrat run cities that are totally out of control." President Trump
"I was in Pennsylvania yesterday, a place that (Biden) said he was born in, which is true. But he left when he was like 9 years old. He left a long time ago, 7 decades ago, and he still calls it his home, and his real home is a place he never leaves anymore." President Trump Face with tears of joy
The crowd is loving this speech and chanting four more years. President Trump is seamlessly transitioning from his prewritten remarks to off the cuff jokes and the difference between this and Biden's awkward, hollow speech last night is like night and day.
"The more success that we've achieved, the more unhinged the radical left has become. Anarchists and violent mobs have rioted in our Democrat run cities, attacking our police, and tearing down statues." President Trump
President @realDonaldTrump is downright giddy talking about his accomplishments, what else he wants to do in 2nd term, and the threat posed by a leftist takeover. Before an absolutely raucous crowd.— Mollie (@MZHemingway) August 21, 2020

"This will be the greatest catastrophe, one of the greatest catastrophes in the history of our country. That's how serious it is. And they all think I'm trying to steal an election, just the opposite. I want the fair results of an election." President Trump on mass mail in voting— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 21, 2020
Didnt Joe say that one of the last things Beau said to him was that he needed to run for President?
It was a pardon by the wrong President.
Send links of AOC and Omar.
This sounds like a great speech, thanks for posting.
