Full Title: Meet the 11-year-old girl whose letter to President Obama led to plans for the first woman on US currency in more than a century

A woman will feature on US currency for the first time in more than 100 years - thanks to the efforts of an 11-year-old girl.

Sofia, from Cambridge in Massachusetts, had written to President Barack Obama in 2014 after a school project on historic American heroes.

'I realized no women had their face on our currency, so I went home and wrote the letter,' she told WCVB.

The schoolgirl demanded to know why there were no women on US bills, as 'if there were no women, there wouldn't be men'.

I’ll exchange any of those 20s for 10s or 5s. If I get two, exchange them and a 10 for a 50.

Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God.

And I love the fact that every time someone handles a $20 bill it will be a reminder that a black, female, gun-owning, Bible-reading, Republican helped free slaves.

By the way, Moses was a wanted murderer before he led Israel out of slavery to the Egyptians.

just change the penny from Lincoln’s head and put on Obama’s because obama is always like a “penny waiting for change” the meaning is that it is worthless just like Obama the dip-crapper that he is.

It’s a good thing that our president consults with children.
We have learned many things: How to make a clock-bomb out of an old clock and who knows, this young girl-child may be qualified to be Secretary of The Treasury !

How many days do you have to stay buried alive to win four different shoulder braids and one for your pocket?

And Sergeant stripes plus an Oak Leaf on the shoulder?
Does that make him a Sergeant/Major?

“you oppose law and order”

Do you think torturing and killing runaway slaves is “law and order”?

Do you think Nazi prison camps represent “law and order”?

I oppose your concept of law and order.

If you want to make a point about Harriet Tubman, I suggest you do so with specific facts about her, rather than generalizations about slavery and tyranny.

Otherwise, you may find yourself in hot water. My statement, “Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God” is based on a popular saying Thomas Jefferson’s suggested as the motto for the seal of the United States. And the founder of this site is particularly fond of that quote.

If you believe in rule by men rather than rule by law, and you believe people must subject themselves to unjust laws and not oppose them, you are unlikely to find much support here.

The Bible supports this point of view:

Acts 5:29
But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.”
