RECALL OF SB 98-49

SB 98-49 by Sen. Schroeder; Rep. May--Tax Exempt Internet & On Line Services

Having voted on the prevailing side, Senator Schroeder moved for the recall of SB 98-49 from the Governor.

A majority of all members elected to the Senate having voted in the affirmative, the motion was adopted.

INTRODUCTION OF RESOLUTION

The following resolution was read by title:

SR 98-8 by Senators Pascoe and Rupert--Concerning the 150th anniversary of the women's rights movement.

WHEREAS, 1998 marks the 150th anniversary of the Women's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, New York, at which more than 300 courageous women defied custom and met to discuss the social, civil, and religious issues affecting women in mid­nineteenth century America, and in doing so launched the women's rights movement in this country; and

WHEREAS, The women who took part in this historical meeting adopted a Declaration of Sentiments, which paraphrased the Declaration of Independence and demanded that women be given the right to vote and boldly stated that "It is the duty of the women of this country to secure for themselves their sacred right to the elective franchise"; and

WHEREAS, Women belonging to clubs in Colorado, including members of the Denver Woman's Club, Women's Christian Temperance Union, and Colorado Equal Suffrage Association, organized the struggle for the vote in Colorado, with the support of Governor Davis Waite of the Silver movement; and

WHEREAS, In 1893, Colorado charged ahead of the rest of the nation on this issue becoming the first state in the union to approve the vote for women by means of popular election; and

WHEREAS, The first three women ever elected to a state legislature in the United States were elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in 1894: Clara Cressingham and Frances Klock of Denver and Carrie C. Holly of Pueblo, who spearheaded social welfare reforms in the state such as child labor laws and the 8­hour work day; and

WHEREAS, The first woman elected to the state Senate was Helen Ring Robinson of Denver who was elected in 1912; and

WHEREAS, The dauntless campaign for nationwide women's suffrage took over 72 years, involved tens of thousands of women and men, did not cost a single life, and resulted in the enfranchisement of one­half of the citizens of the United States; and

WHEREAS, Women were not given or granted the right to vote, they won it, and they won it as truly as any political campaign is won or lost; and

WHEREAS, The campaign was of enormous political and social significance, and yet, it is virtually unacknowledged in the chronicles of American history; and

WHEREAS, Women won the right to vote despite the fact that anti­suffragists argued that "all women are potentially hysterics" and that "since women obviously could not be trusted to behave rationally, they would be extremely dangerous in a political setting"; and

WHEREAS, The celebration of the suffragist movement represents a substantial milestone on the road to equal rights for women, putting women back into our history as active participants and reminding us of the need for progressive leaders, organizers, and visionaries in every local community; and

WHEREAS, The celebration of the suffragist movement exposes the misplaced fears and prejudices of those who oppose equal rights for women and offers a sobering reminder that too many of these same foolish, reactionary attitudes from 100 years ago still exist today; and

WHEREAS, There still remain substantial barriers to the full equality of America's women, and the victorious women's suffrage movement offers a new generation of activists a solid base upon which to build for the future; and

WHEREAS, American women will not rest until all the women of the world have the right to vote; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the Senate of the Sixty-first General Assembly of the State of Colorado:

SR 98-8

(Cont.)

We, the members of the Sixty­first General Assembly, hereby call on educators, government officials, businesses, and all citizens to mark this year of celebration with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities recollecting with gratitude those who have contributed to a nation where all have, by right, a position of equality in a democratic society.

Laid over one day under Senate Rule 30(c), and placed on the calendar of Monday,

April 6.
