catman Rest in Peace United States 954 Posts	Posted 02/18/2005 04:49 am I really can't believe what I just read agbout Sacagawea in their presentation. I have been to Wyoming and know that the everyday people don't believe that rethoric for a minute. "Sacagawea and her son looking toward the future">? I see someone with her back to me looking backwards..! " A sybolize what Wyoming women really are?" Sacagawea was a slave wife. Bought and paid for and treated very badly. Yes, I sure all the Wyoming women want to be just like her..! You can thank Barbara Boxer, Bill Clinton and then secretary of the Treasury Rubin, who was on his way out, for the Sacagawea dollar. In my opinion Senator Barber Boxer (D-CA) wanted another woman on the dollar coin. In fact she wanted to carry the SNA design to the new coin. Clinton was in hot water up past his neck of the sex scandales and needed every bit of support he could get. Boxer is some sorta relitive of Bill Clinton's that has a lot of power in the women's movement. Clinton pressed Rubin for a favor and restrictions were placed on the commission that left the with hardly any choices except Sacagawea. In fact one of the commissioners quit because of it. This whole design process was a political manipulation. At least that's my opinion. catman Report this Post to the Staff

The irony is that women were always on U.S. coins until the last few decades...they just happened to be allegorical representations of Liberty. Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 02/18/2005 7:33 pm Personally, I don't care if we have men or women on our coins, but I'm all for removing the political affiliations (hence I want the presidents removed - you can't get more political than a presidency)!

zakgold Valued Member United States 382 Posts	Posted 02/19/2005 07:49 am You would figure that after the mug shot of SBA gracing the quarter-look-a-like sized dollar would be the last of stupid obverses. Matter of fact they should have put Margaret Hamilton (Witch from Wizard of Oz) because she would have represented woman that couldn't get dates. We must feel their pain. After all, did you ever see early pics of Hillary? (shuttering right now). Remember, we live in a PC world where terrorists in Cuba have as much rights as we do. A good example was last year when I took my boys to Washington and the Smithsonian had more on the display for the Japanese inturnment and A-Bombings than why WE fought! Unbelieveable!!! As we rewrite history books about how bad Washington was because he owned slaves and what a jerk Franklin was because he was a lady's man (pictures...pictures, please stop the pictures), the first person the stands up to Boxer and Hillary telling them to get a grip will have my ever lasting vote. Until them look out for the next stupid PC obverse coming to a coin near you. Give me liberty or give me death...and put "her" back on our coins. No party affilitations, no politics, just the message of majasty, beauty, freedom and above all, Liberty! Edited by zakgold 02/19/2005 07:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
