You may not know that on March 15, U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York and U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts introduced versions of an amendment to the Constitution that would outlaw discrimination on the basis of sex.
You can read the text of Senate Resolution 7 here and the text of House Resolution 37 here. Another source of information is here.
Please blanket your senator and representatives with letters and faxes in support of these resolutions. The women's rights movement didn't erase all discrimination against women. Let's not let this important amendment fail as it did in 1982.
Don't know who your senator is? Go here. Go here to find out who your representatives are.
