Woman To Be On New $10 Bill

CNN Money reports:

On Wednesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said a woman will be featured on a redesigned $10 bill in 2020 -- the 100th anniversary of the Constitution's 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. A decision on who the woman will be won't be made for several months. The last woman on U.S. paper currency was Martha Washington, who was on the $1 Silver Certificate between 1891 and 1896. "We have only made changes to the faces on our currency a few times since bills were first put into circulation, and I'm proud that the new 10 will be the first bill in more than a century to feature the portrait of a woman," Lew said. Lew, who will make the final decision on who will grace the currency, is asking the public for help. The department will launch a website, and is asking for input over social media with the hashtag #TheNew10. What's his criteria? Lew wants the next generation of U.S. currency to underscore the theme of American democracy. The portrait must also -- by law -- be of someone who is no longer living.

Alexander Hamilton has been on the $10 bill since 1929.

Fischer Has The Treasury Dept. Sadz

"There will be enormous federal pressure now on states to conform to the IRS. The Supreme Court decision placed an [improvised explosive device] under every state marriage amendment in the land. I predict we will very quickly see legal action in the 37 states that do not give legal recognition to same-sex marriage to force them to conform to federal policy on their tax forms, and you will get activist federal judges that will comply." - Hate group spokesman Bryan Fischer, telling the Washington Post that he agrees with gay activists that yesterday's Treasury Department decision to grant federal tax status to married gay couples in every state will escalate the fight for full equality nationwide.
