"It was here in New York, where Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott argued so forcefully and eloquently for women to receive the right to vote.  And it was their call to action that sparked a movement that finally succeeded 72 years later - after a Democratic President added his voice to the cause.

"These pioneers stood up for their beliefs in the face of public mockery and widespread opposition for more than seven decades, and their dedication and perseverance inspires me and countless others every day.  Today's 90th anniversary of the passage of Women's Suffrage should remind all of us who want to improve our state, our country, and our world that we must be just as tireless as they were."  

— June O'Neill, Chair of the Executive Committee, NYS Democratic Committee
