Before you vote on Election Day, we want you to know some facts about equal rights for women.

In Iowa, women earn only 56 cents for every dollar earned by men.  That's discrimination.

But, opponents of equality are misrepresenting the truth when they talk about what will happen to Iowa with a state equal rights amendment.

Don't be fooled. 

Equality of rights means ending economic and legal discrimination against women.

If you believe in equality

Vote on November 4^th

Vote Yes on the Iowa Equal Rights Amendment

FINAL VISUAL -- CHARACTER GENERATED
The Iowa Equal Rights Amendment: "To ensure that the state shall not deny or restrict the equality of rights under the law on the basis of gender."

VOTE YES FOR EQUALITY
