I can live with it; the lady does deserve recognition.

She would be on the $13 bill..............That reminds me of the time a guy asked me for change of a $15.00 bill. I gave him two sevens and a Susan B.!

No, I meant exactly what I said, Feminist IDOLS. I do Not think that these women or all of the women nominated were Idiots. At some level you have to be intelligent to do what these women did.
I do think some of them were dead wrong, Margaret Sanger, Shirley Chisholm, Betty Friedan, and Eleanor Roosevelt for example. At least one I can praise, Harriet Tubman, who was both intelligent and brave, and if she voted, probably voted Republican. I do not know enough about the others to say one way or the other, but they are all Feminists or revered by Feminists, ergo, “Idols.”
Here are the candidates from their website;

“Alice Paul, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Sojourner Truth, Rachel Carson, Rosa Parks, Barbara Jordan, Margaret Sanger, Patsy Mink, Clara Barton, Harriet Tubman, Frances Perkins, Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt and Elizabeth Cady Stanton...”

I would make it a point to never tender another $20 bill. That makes two of us.

As long as we're going to put a stick in Jackson's and his party's eye then why not remind folks about their ethnic cleansing and attempted genocide by putting someone like this on the $20 bill.

It was not just the Cherokees.Andrew Jackson was a genocidal maniac.
We should replace Jackson with an Indian. We have a long history of Indians on US money:

What if they put a picture of the prophet Muhammad on the $20 bill? Nah, too expensive to wipe my butt with vs. plain old TP (though that's getting pretty pricey these days).

Agreed. But I chose a picture of Sequoyah in particular because he created the Cherokee language alphabet which was used to translate the Bible and their tribal laws. Just the sort of “savage” Jackson and the Democrats wanted marched out. Besides, I’m part Cherokee and it’s a really cool picture.

Alice Paul, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Sojourner Truth, Rachel Carson, Rosa Parks, Barbara Jordan, Margaret Sanger, Patsy Mink, Clara Barton, Harriet Tubman, Frances Perkins, Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt and Elizabeth Cady Stanton... The ignoramuses say there has never been a woman on US Currency. Dead wrong! I nominate Martha Washington and I bet the BEP still has the engraved vignette from the last time she was on a bill.

Everyone repeat after me: “I’d like that in fifties and tens, please.”

Most excellent! Sending to a feminist that I know.
Post It widely!

If they put a woman on a $20, does that make it only worth $15 now?

Ah hell, why not Al Sharpton! Or maybe the first lesbian golfer who cane “out”. So it’s Billie Jean King! Or we could have the first black president. Does it make any difference that Slick Willie is a white man?
