I vote for Amelia Earhart, an adventurer we can all relate to.

Rosa Parks sparked a change in America that brought civil rights to the forefront, and finally gave effect to the 13th and 14th Amendments for millions of Americans.

Obama is not an American citizen he was born in Kenya and he sits in the White House. So I think country doesent matter.

Name a famous social reformer who was a female Native American. The first female Native American I can think of is Pocahontas.

There was Mildred Loving who was a civil rights activist in the 60s. Also Sacagawea who was a Shoshone interpreter best known for being the only woman on the Lewis and Clark expedition into the American West.

Also Edmonia Lewis the first professional African-American and Native-American sculptor, Edmonia Lewis earned critical praise for work that explored religious and classical themes.

Susan La Flesche Picotte was the first Native American woman to become a physician in the United States. A member of the Omaha Reservation, she worked tirelessly for her people.

But truthfully, how many of you have heard of them?

Yes. A Native American was being considered when I first read about this last Spring. Pocahontas most likely will not be considered. The $20 bill was at first considered for removal. Andrew Jackson is remembered as not being a nice person, so it was fitting to remove him. Those who protested said Jackson was a President on a $20 bill. Alexander Hamilton on a $10 bill was not a President. The reason it is the $10 bill.

Who cares. What a waste of money. Money the country doesn't have. Leave the currency alone and take care of real problems. Hell, if it's going to be done, and to be politically correct it has to be a minority, put on a picture of Aunt Jemima. Her pancake mix had a positive effect on millions of Americans.

Then use the original plates for new ones. It's been done for decades.
