“The Court of Appeals was wrong to reject the challenge to Proposal 1.  This issue dealt with a matter concerning the State Constitution, and we believe they should have taken the case.

“Now the voters will decide in November on the so-called ‘Equal Rights Amendment.’  This amendment is a Trojan Horse that would grant illegal immigrants access to benefits paid for by taxpayers, as well as open the door to non-citizen voting.

“It would also grant boys and men the right to compete in girls and women’s sports, by elevating ‘gender identity’ to a constitutional right. The amendment applies to all persons and would give minors the right to puberty blockers and transgender surgeries without parental consent.

“Simply put, Prop. 1 is a radical departure from common sense.  I’m confident voters – if they’re told the truth – will resoundingly reject Prop 1.”
