On the streets, people say, there isn't panic. Grocery stores still have food, and kids head off to soccer practice as if their country weren't on the brink of a full-scale war.

Like most families, they have an emergency plan in place now. They've stocked up on food, bought a wood-burning stove in case the power or gas is cut, and stockpiled fuel.

Your locally-elected leaders are more than making up for it!

These three states argued that their ratification of the ERA brought the total number of ratifying states up to the constitutionally required threshold.
