This weekend we thought we'd bring you a few stories and facts that you might not know...
First off, you've probably heard of the Equal Rights Amendment, yes?
It's what the 60's and 70's was all about.
Equal rights, we have that as an amendment to the constitution right? WRONG.
Yep, here we are in 2016 and we have never been able to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.

What do Bill Clinton, Kris Kristofferson and Rachel Maddow all have in common? They are all Rhodes Scholars.
If you have ever heard the phrase Rhodes Scholar then you know it means that the person you are referring to is one smart cookie. But did you know where the name comes from? It's actually quite controversial.

Here's something we think should get a great big Sticky Paw...
Turns out that the RNC decided it was a good idea to scare people into donating money.
These mailers were mostly targeting the elderly. Good job Reince!
