Move to Put a Woman on the $20 Bill Is No Joke [POLL]

The $20 bill, which just got a face lift in 2003, may undergo yet another change. The biggest change will be the absence of Andrew Jackson's face on the bill.

A new group, Women on 20's, is gaining momentum and ready to ask President Obama and Congress to approve their idea of replacing Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill to a picture of a woman. Why I have no qualms at all about a woman being on our currency (Susan B Anthony), this would cost millions of dollars to accomplish and for what gain?

Isn't our currency and who's on them sort of like a piece of our history?

There were just under a 100 suggestions of women to put on the $20 and it was rounded down to 15. From there, another vote was taken and here are the 4 who made the final cut:

• Eleanor Roosevelt - A leader in her own right and involved in numerous humanitarian causes throughout her life. She was also a delegate to the United Nations. The daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, her husband Franklin was her fifth cousin, once removed.
• Rosa Parks - Known as "the mother of the freedom movement" for refusing to give up her seat to a white person and move to the back of the bus she was on in 1955.
• Harriet Tubman - During the Civil War, Union soldiers relied on Tubman, who served as a spy and scout. She returned to the South about 19 different times to lead slaves to the North.
• Wilma Mankiller - First woman to be named Chief of the Cherokee Nation. She was also awarded the Medal of Freedom which is the highest honor bestowed upon a civilian.

Each one of these above is somewhat of a household name with the exception of Wilma Mankiller. In fact, she was more favored than Amelia Earhart and Helen Keller who had made that cut down to 15. Honestly, has anyone ever even heard of Wilma Mankiller till now?

So, why would it be the $20 bill?

The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment that granted women the right to vote. So it seems fitting to commemorate that milestone by voting to elevate women to a place that is today reserved exclusively for the men who shaped American history. That place is on our paper money. And that new portrait can become a symbol of greater changes to come.

While I don't see the need, I also wouldn't be too upset to see one of the first three women on the bill, but to remove the image of our seventh President of the United States for Wilma Mankiller? While she did great things for the Cherokee nation, it was just the Cherokee nation and not our country as a whole. The other three women had a huge role in changing things, for the better, for the entire country.

And how about these women who never even made the 15? Betsy Ross, Abigail Adams, Lady Bird Johnson, Jacqueline Kennedy and Annie Oakley.
