SENECA FALLS 1848:

Resolved, therefore, that, being invested by the Creator with the same capabilities and same consciousness of responsibility for their exercise, it is demonstrably the right and duty of woman, equally with man, to promote every righteous cause by every righteous means; and especially in regard to the great subjects of morals and religion, it is self-evidently her right to participate with her brother in teaching them, both in private and in public, by writing and by speaking, by any instrumentalities proper to be used, and in any assemblies proper to be held; and this being a self-evident truth growing out of the divinely implanted principles of human nature, any custom or authority adverse to it, whether modern or wearing the hoary sanction of antiquity, is to be regarded as a self-evident falsehood, and at war with mankind.

From left to right the figures represent: Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902), president of the National Woman Suffrage Association from 1865 to 1893; author of the woman's bill of rights, which she read at the Seneca Falls, New York, convention in 1848; first to demand the vote for women. Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906), abolitionist, temperance advocate, and later president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, who joined with Stanton in 1851 to promote woman suffrage; proposed the constitutional amendment passed many years after her death. Lucretia Mott (1793-1880), Quaker reformer and preacher, who worked for abolition, peace, and equality for women in jobs and education; organizer of the 1848 Seneca Falls, New York, convention, which launched the women's rights movement.



The Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions was drafted by Elizabeth Cady Stanton for the women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. Based on the American Declaration of Independence, the Sentiments demanded equality with men before the law, in education and employment. Here, too, was the first pronouncement demanding that women be given the right to vote.

Sentiments

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one portion of the family of man to assume among the people of the earth a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to such a course.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they were accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their duty to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of the women under this government, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to demand the equal station to which they are entitled.

The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

v     He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.

v     He has compelled her to submit to law in the formation of which she had no voice.

v     He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men, both natives and foreigners.

v     Having deprived her of this first right as a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides.

v     He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead. He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns.

v     He has made her morally, an irresponsible being, as she can commit many crimes with impunity, provided they be done in the presence of her husband. In the covenant of marriage, she is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and purposes, her master-the law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty and to administer chastisement.

v     He has so framed the laws of divorce, as to what shall be the proper causes and, in case of separation, to whom the guardianship of the children shall be given, as to be wholly regardless of the happiness of the women-the law, in all cases, going upon a false supposition of the supremacy of man and giving all power into his hands.

v     After depriving her of all rights as a married woman, if single and the owner of property, he has taxed her to support a government which recognizes her only when her property can be made profitable to it.

v     He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration. He closes against her all the avenues to wealth and distinction which he considers most honorable to himself. As a teacher of theology, medicine, or law, she is not known.

v     He has denied her the facilities for obtaining a thorough education, all colleges being closed against her.

v     He allows her in church, as well as state, but a subordinate position, claiming apostolic authority for her exclusion from the ministry, and, with some exceptions, from any public participation in the affairs of the church.

v     He has created a false public sentiment by giving to the world a different code of morals for men and women, by which moral delinquencies which exclude women from society are not only tolerated but deemed of little account in man.

v     He has usurped the prerogative of Jehovah himself, claiming it as his right to assign for her a sphere of action, when that belongs to her conscience and to her God.

v     He has endeavored, in every way that he could, to destroy her confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and abject life.

Now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one-half the people of this country, their social and religious degradation, in view of the unjust laws above mentioned, and because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of the United States.

In entering upon the great work before us, we anticipate no small amount of misconception, misrepresentation, and ridicule; but we shall use every instrumentality within our power to effect our object. We shall employ agents, circulate tracts, petition the state and national legislatures, and endeavor to enlist the pulpit and the press in our behalf. We hope this Convention will be followed by a series of conventions embracing every part of the country.

Resolutions

Whereas, the great precept of nature is conceded to be that "man shall pursue his own true and substantial happiness." Blackstone in his Commentaries remarks that this law of nature, being coeval with mankind and dictated by God himself, is, of course, superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries and at all times; no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this, and such of them as are valid derive all their force, and all their validity, and all their authority, mediately and immediately, from this original; therefore,

Resolved, That such laws as conflict, in any way, with the true and substantial happiness of woman, are contrary to the great precept of nature and of no validity, for this is superior in obligation to any other.

Resolved, that all laws which prevent woman from occupying such a station in society as her conscience shall dictate, or which place her in a position inferior to that of man, are contrary to the great precept of nature and therefore of no force or authority.

Resolved, that woman is man's equal, was intended to be so by the Creator, and the highest good of the race demands that she should be recognized as such.

Resolved, that the women of this country ought to be enlightened in regard to the laws under which they live, that they may no longer publish their degradation by declaring themselves satisfied with their present position, nor their ignorance, by asserting that they have all the rights they want.

Resolved, that inasmuch as man, while claiming for himself intellectual superiority, does accord to woman moral superiority, it is preeminently his duty to encourage her to speak and teach, as she has an opportunity, in all religious assemblies.

Resolved, that the same amount of virtue, delicacy, and refinement of behavior that is required of woman in the social state also be required of man, and the same transgressions should be visited with equal severity on both man and woman.

Resolved, that the objection of indelicacy and impropriety, which is so often brought against woman when she addresses a public audience, comes with a very ill grace from those who encourage, by their attendance, her appearance on the stage, in the concert, or in feats of the circus.

Resolved, that woman has too long rested satisfied in the circumscribed limits which corrupt customs and a perverted application of the Scriptures have marked out for her, and that it is time she should move in the enlarged sphere which her great Creator has assigned her.

Resolved, that it is the duty of the women of this country to secure to themselves their sacred right to the elective franchise.

Resolved, that the equality of human rights results necessarily from the fact of the identity of the race in capabilities and responsibilities.

Resolved, that the speedy success of our cause depends upon the zealous and untiring efforts of both men and women for the overthrow of the monopoly of the pulpit, and for the securing to woman an equal participation with men in the various trades, professions, and commerce.

Resolved, therefore, that, being invested by the Creator with the same capabilities and same consciousness of responsibility for their exercise, it is demonstrably the right and duty of woman, equally with man, to promote every righteous cause by every righteous means; and especially in regard to the great subjects of morals and religion, it is self-evidently her right to participate with her brother in teaching them, both in private and in public, by writing and by speaking, by any instrumentalities proper to be used, and in any assemblies proper to be held; and this being a self-evident truth growing out of the divinely implanted principles of human nature, any custom or authority adverse to it, whether modern or wearing the hoary sanction of antiquity, is to be regarded as a self-evident falsehood, and at war with mankind.

Today, a conference call launched a 501c4 group, WEPAC, which will be dedicated to fighting misogyny in politics, society and culturally.

WEPAC'S first call for action is to retire Hillary's debt, as a sign of influence and power.

WEPAC is asking for a 48 hour fund raising drive to immediately reach millions of donors in behalf of Hillary, which will free her from the imprisonment of her campaign obligations to small business vendors and contractors.

Beginning today at 12:30 PM, Pacific, and for 48 hours, the HC campaign will be tracking the impact of this call for donations.

Subsequently, the group will issue its Mission and Goals and organization plans.

Meet the McCainocrats

By Jennifer Liberto, Times Staff Writer

Published Tuesday, June 24, 2008 12:56 PM


During the primary season around 9 p.m., when most of the world starts thinking about bedtime, Renee Slater would start pounding away at one of her two computers.

Often until 2 a.m., she'd urgently explain to the Internet world why Sen. Hillary Clinton should be president. Though not affiliated with the Clinton campaign, Slater was part of a vast army of volunteers who showed all of the resolve of their favored candidate.

But, of course, resolve didn't win Clinton the nomination, and when Clinton dropped out of the race, Slater channeled her intensity into something unexpected: The 51-year-old from Aventura left the Democratic Party, registered as an Independent and declared her support for Republican Sen. John McCain.

"McCain has always been a liberal Republican," said Slater, who made time to blog, unpaid, while getting a master's degree in accounting from Nova Southeastern University. "Why do you think the conservatives are not happy with him being the nominee? He is not your run-of-the-mill Republican."

The Democrats' long, intense primary created especially close attachments for some supporters to their candidates. In the end, many impassioned Clinton supporters, women in particular, said they couldn't switch their allegiance to Democratic Sen. Barack Obama. They promised to back McCain instead.

"Please don't go there," Clinton urged during her concession speech. "Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward."

After months of spending every free hour possible defending Clinton online, Slater has gone there. What's unclear is whether she's an anomaly or an outspoken example of a quiet problem that Obama may face in November.

"Supporters go through a grieving period, but then they'll realize McCain is much worse," said Jon Ausman, a Democratic National Committee member and super delegate who endorsed Clinton but supports Obama in the general election. "I think they'll come home. This is very normal."

To some former Clinton supporters, McCain doesn't seem so bad. He has long been considered a maverick who has spent much of his political career at odds with some in his party on things like stem cell research and campaign finance laws.

Slater said she prefers McCain to Obama because McCain has more political and governing experience. She said she's bothered by the fact that some of Obama's short time in the U.S. Senate has been spent running for president. (She said she's also turned off by "vicious" Obama bloggers.)

As for McCain's anti-abortion stance, a pro-choicer like Slater doesn't think it's the be-all, end-all issue of this election. She calls it a "Democratic threat intended to frighten."

"If they didn't outlaw abortion under Bush, who is far more conservative than McCain ever will be, I just don't think it's going to happen under McCain," said Slater, who contributed $1,625 to the Clinton campaign and has given in the past to the DNC and John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign.

Slater has joined other passionate Clinton supporters who have found solace on the Internet, blasting Obama and praising McCain on Web sites like hillaryclintonforum.net and hillarygreenmountain.com. They call themselves McCainocrats.

So far in Florida, the number of Clinton supporters and would-be Democrats in Florida who publicly endorse McCain is pretty tiny. A week after the Democrats officially chose their nominee, the McCain campaign touted three high-profile Democrats and Independents from Florida: Slater, former Tampa Mayor Dick Greco and a former sheriff of Highlands County, Howard Godwin.

While the decision to back McCain wasn't that difficult, the decision to come out and say it publicly was a move that two of the three lost sleep over. In fact, Godwin said there had been a mistake. He is a Democrat and does support McCain. But he never intended his choice to be made public and he didn't want to talk about it.

Slater said she was hesitant about talking publicly, because she was afraid Obama supporters would inundate her in-box with accusations of racism. Slater says race never entered her mind when she made her decision.

"I know that there's other people out there who feel like I do," Slater said. "They may be quiet about it, but they're out there."

Former Mayor Greco, 74, a Democrat, said he had no problem talking about his decision to support McCain. He said he always supports candidates based on their experience and character, not political party.

"I just think McCain is better equipped to make these changes. He's shown he can work both sides of the aisle," said Greco.

Many Florida Democrats and ardent Clinton supporters, including Clinton fundraiser Chis Korge of Miami, say Democrats will come around and support Obama when they realize that McCain has more in common with President Bush.

"This was a great race between two fantastic candidates and it's going to take some time to unify, and not everyone's going to come back," said Florida Obama spokesman Steve Schale. "But it's not like John McCain has a unified party either."

Excerpt from Slater's writing on the Web:

05-14-2008, 07:26 PM

Hillary, we are still with you, but understand as well.

We will not vote OBAMA, not now, not ever. After witnessing this disgrace of a hit on you, your campaign, Bill's Presidency, this Democratic party has become a bigger sham than the Repubs. This is worse than 2000 when Bush and his brother Jeb wrestled the election from Gore.

We have been forced to watch the raping of your campaign, and we have been forced to watch a "brokered convention" even before the primaries end. The DNC has told us who we will vote for. The last time I checked we were not yet a fascist nation. Not yet anyway.

Hillary, don't ask us to unite for Obama, we have already united for McCain.

It's sadly ironic that the candidate who received the most popular votes is essentially in a position of imprisonment.  Shackled by debt and bound by obligation, Hillary Clinton must be restored to her proper place in both our government and our Democratic Party.  We, her 18 million supporters, have the privilege to raise Hillary to her deservedly prominent position.  And, more importantly, keep her there.  The first order of business:  retire her debt.

Barack Obama, with his talk of change, is nothing more than an old-style machine oriented politician.  Would it not be a refreshing change if Mr. Obama were to give consideration to assisting in healing the Party by embracing Hillary Clinton and her supporters?  Would it not be a refreshing change if Mr. Obama were to assist in efforts to retire Hillary's debt?  Would it not be a refreshing change if Mr. Obama were to include the voices, issues, and concerns of 18 million who voted for Hillary Clinton as part of the Democratic Party platform?

Instead, Mr. Obama has refused all efforts at reconciliation.  He is no agent of change.

This being a fact, it is time for us, 18 million strong, to be the change agent.  Here's how:

1.  Two efforts underway to help retire Hillary's debt:

     a.  Independence from Obama - Donate $20.08 on July 4th

     b.  On July 19th, in honor of Seneca Falls, donate $7.19

2.  Major donors and bundlers must not donate to Mr. Obama's campaign.  Send letters and place calls to these donors and begin soon.  You can find many of them here:  http://www.whitehouseforsale.o...

3.  Sign the Pledge at http://www.iownmyvote.com.  Strength in numbers and we can clearly show Mr. Obama and DNC they must earn our votes.  They must include us.

4.  Continue to pressure Super Delegates to follow the will of the people in their states by endorsing the candidate that won the popular vote in their state.

5.  Mail and email those politicians who stood staunchly behind HRC to let them know we thank them and that they have our support.

6.  Boycott all forms of media that participated in slander, sexism, and misogyny.  Among them:  Oprah Winfrey, MSNBC, CNN, and print media including the New York Times.

7.  Thank the leaders of Trade Unions that supported HRC including AFSCME, AFT, UFT, and the IUPAT.

8.  Publicly denounce members of Congress who participated in and supported this rigged election including:  Nancy Pelosi, Claire McCaskill, Ted Kennedy, and Robert Wexler.

9.  Withhold personal donations to the DNC, DSCC, and the DCCC.

10.  Financially support like-minded candidates up for office this election cycle.

Hillary Clinton is our nominee, regardless.  Let us all work toward promoting her agenda, protecting her legacy, and ensuring that she is our Commander in Chief.  Let us work toward betterment of our Democracy.

They don't believe we won't vote for Ob**a.

They allowed the rape of Hillary by the MSM and said nothing. Many of the operatives of the DNC, and Super Delegates, participated as talking heads.

They have allowed the only truly successful Democratic Presidency in 50 years to be assaulted by Ob**a and the Reagan years lofted above the Clinton prosperity as the preferred model for the future.

They have abandoned Florida voters, again.  They have abandoned Michigan voters.

They have called for the end to the campaign for over six weeks, trying to nullify the voters of nine states, Guam and Puerto Rico. 

They want a coronation by June, not a convention in late August.

Pelosi and Reid, Dean and the others, traitors to the Clintons, traitors to the party voters, and ultimately discredited leaders, need to see that no one is following them in their travesty of democracy, circa 2008.

They took our money and squandered the 2006 election results, and now they are double-crossing us in this nomination process.

The proper action for any and all Hillary Clinton voters is to de-register from the Democratic party and refuse to support anyone who has not been loyal to the Clintons, or who has not proven their impartiality, or who has not spoken out against the mis-treatment, gender bias, race baiting, and double standards of party officials and the MSM.

There is no grey area to hide in.  Neither for a Hillary Clinton supporter and voter or for the swine that lead the party now.

Howard Dean, a proven loser, Donna Brazille, hypocrite extraordinaire, and the legions of piglets we have seen trot their noses over to Ob**a to stick in the rump of the Fraud they want to coronate, deserve a shell of a party to command.
 

We are the heart and soul, the true majority base, and we have 15 million votes to prove it.  We need to leave this cesspool and prevent their sham to become a fact in
Denver.

When they see the mass rejection of their leadership we may have Hillary as the candidate of the party.

If that does not work, we will assure the Fraud's defeat in November. 

How bad can McCain be?  We've survived Bush and Cheney, and we haven't had a good Supreme Court judge who cared about the people since William O. Douglas died.  Their arguments are a joke, as their leadership has been.

We leave starting tomorrow.  We leave the party and we stand our ground with Hillary.  Everyone can vote in the General Election.  I will writing her name on the ballot.  She is my choice for 2008 and that does not stop when the primaries end in June.
 

Spread the word.  De-register from the Democratic party and stand with Hillary through the General Election.

The steps to de-register are easy.  Contact your county clerk of elections.

Get a form or download one from their website, and mail it in.  In California the term to put is "Decline to state".  Each state has some variation.

Search state and county offices on this site's database: https://www.overseasvotefoundation.org/overseas/eod.htm?stateId=

Typical Voter Registration Form many states use: http://www.fabnit.com/nvra-update-09-12-06.pdf

One phone call and you get your information and the form if they do not have one on line to download.

Fill it in.  Mail it back.

As thousands of others do also, the roar of our actions will attract their attention, finally. 

Do not ask permission to rebel against the injustice of the 2008 primary system.  Stand up like an American should and leave this disgraceful party.
 

Our route to the White House for Hillary requires our rebellious action.  Anything less will be failure.

We are in this for the White House, for Florida and Michigan, and we will help stop the coronation of the Fraud.
My grandson, Anthony, aged 10, asked this profound question today: "Aren't there 50 states? Why are they only counting 48?". 

If a ten year old can figure out that stealing the votes of millions of good Democrats is going on, and states are denied representation, that this is wrong, then why is the DNC and Obama campaign sequestering the votes of Florida and Michigan?

A ten year old knows Florida and Michigan must be counted now.  Hillary won them under the same rules as Obama lost them.  The rules were the same.  Just the results did not suit the DNC and Obama.

The irony in this presidential race is that Barack Obama has become the beacon of something different, even though his platform is based on a concept that has let Americans down time after time.  What Senator Obama is really asking Americans to do, is to hope - remain passive - for another few years.  The appeal of this young candidate is not that he offers something different at all.  The appeal of Barack Obama is that he offers something Americans are intimately familiar with - hope. 

Tragically, many Americans have learned to believe that they are helpless and hope is all they can do.

Here is my letter to Senator Leahy.  I am sending this around to the media, but feel free to pull parts from it for your own blogs and letters.  One of the keys to effective blogging is repetition.  The more we sound like we are on the same talking point, the more it will sink in.  It's an old media trick, as you all know.

Blog on for Hillary!
