\"\"Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi) On August 27th, an unusually eye-catching vehicle will be parked in the Hugo\u2019s parking lot west of St. John\u2019s Church. Between 11 AM and 1 PM, \u201cRVG\u201d or \u201cRuthless Vote Getter\u201d will make a stop in Jamestown, before continuing to Valley City, where Sharon Buhr says,the VCSU community campus group known as What In The World is Going On?\u00a0 is bringing the vehicle to Valley City, \u201cThe VOTE EQUALITY VAN will be in Valley City on Friday, August 27 from 3-5 pm .\u00a0 It will make a 2-hour stop at the north end of the VCSU walk bridge which is right across the street to the south of Connect Church\u2026at 4th Street South East and Central Avenue.<\/p>\n

The news release from Barb Lang says, The Vote Equality US Ruthless Vote Getter RV will be in the Jamestown Hugo\u2019s parking lot west of St. John\u2019s Church from 11 AM to 1 PM on August 27th. Follow the tour progress here:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/voteequality.us\/tour\/2021-midwest-tour\/ and on social media at @VoteEqualityUS. \u00a0Itinerary is subject to change based on COVID-19 concerns or restrictions.<\/p>\n

On The Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Barb said, the vehicle is a purple 28\u2019 RV that tours the country educating voters about the 28th Amendment, the Equal Rights Amendment. The vehicle, which is operated by Vote Equality US, sports signatures from supporters of the amendment, collected throughout the country.<\/p>\n

Vote Equality US is a nonpartisan grassroots effort promoting equal rights for all Americans by working to ensure the addition of the fully-ratified 28th Amendment (Equal Rights) to the United States Constitution. The 28th Amendment reads: Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.<\/p>\n

The RVG\u2019s Midwest tour will kick off on August 15th. The North Dakota stops are sponsored by the North Dakota Women\u2019s Network (NDWN). The Jamestown chapter of the NDWN is organizing the August 27th event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The tour is meant to present a nonpartisan message of gender equality directly to voters in order to ensure the issue of gender equality is prioritized in daily conversations and on major party platforms. Until the 28th Amendment is fully ratified, the United States Constitution does not guarantee gender equality. One hundred and sixty eight international constitutions include gender equality. The amendment was first introduced in 1923.<\/p>\n

Vote Equality US\u2019s mission is to increase awareness that gender equality is not in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Constitution and inspire support for gender equality leaders.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota\u2019s Senate majority leader expects fellow Republican Gov. Doug Burgum to call a fall special session for legislative redistricting. Senator Rich Wardner says it will ensure lawmakers will have as much time as they need to finish North Dakota\u2019s new political map. Wardner says he and GOP House Majority Leader Chet Pollert have been meeting with Burgum in recent weeks to discuss the possibility of a special session in early November. A spokesman for Burgum says no formal agreement has been reached with legislative leaders to hold a special session.<\/p>\n

\"\"BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota regulators were to hear from wildlife officials concerned about protecting the habitat of the sage grouse, a bird whose population has declined in North Dakota and elsewhere. The Public Service Commission is holding a hearing Tuesday and must decide whether to issue a permit for a wind farm that bumps up against sage grouse country in southwestern North Dakota, the only part of the state where the species lives. The North Dakota Game and Fish Department says fewer than 30 male sage grouse exist in North Dakota. The agency recommends that regulators stop allowing energy projects within certain conservation areas and within a 4-mile radius of where the birds mate.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 An administration official says President Joe Biden has decided to stick with his Aug. 31 deadline for completing a U.S.-led evacuation of Americans and at-risk Afghans from the Kabul airport and for withdrawing the remaining U.S. forces. The decision reflects a growing fear of extremist attacks at the Kabul airport but also opens Biden to domestic political complaints of caving to Taliban demands and of potentially leaving some Americans and Afghan allies behind. Earlier, a Taliban spokesman said in Kabul that the group will insist the United States complete its withdrawal by Aug. 31. Meanwhile, the U.S. pulled off its biggest day of evacuation flights so far.<\/p>\n

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) \u2014 The coronavirus is disrupting more classrooms in Florida, while lawyers for Gov. Ron DeSantis argue against school mask mandates in a Tallahassee courtroom. Three more school districts announced hearings Tuesday to discuss stricter mask policies. Orange, Pinellas and Monroe counties may join eight other districts in defying the Republican governor, who wants parents to decide whether their children wear masks in school. Together the three districts have more than 3,000 students who were abruptly sent home after positive tests or exposure. A Florida judge is hearing three days of arguments before ruling on a lawsuit by parents in favor of universal masking.<\/p>\n

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (AP) \u2014 An army of firefighters is trying to keep a huge wildfire from pushing toward Lake Tahoe, the blue alpine lake surrounded by resort communities straddling the California-Nevada state line. The Caldor Fire is just 9% contained Tuesday after scorching over 180 square miles and destroying at least 455 homes southwest of Lake Tahoe. California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Chief Thom Porter says the fire is knocking on the door of the Lake Tahoe basin, and all efforts are being made to keep it out. Porter says the Caldor Fire is now the nation’s No. 1 priority for firefighting resources.<\/p>\n

WAVERLY, Tenn. (AP) \u2014 Crews with chainsaws and heavy equipment are clearing their way through trees matted with vegetation, garbage and debris from homes as searchers scour a creek for more flooding victims in rural Tennessee. Even cars and sheds are woven into the tangle of debris lining Trace Creek in Humphreys County, where the town of Waverly saw the most death and destruction from Saturday\u2019s flooding that killed more than 20 people. Humphreys County Chief Deputy Rob Edwards said excavators were moving the largest pieces of debris as search teams started from Waverly and moved slowly downstream. Fewer than 10 people remained unaccounted for Tuesday.<\/p>\n

(AP) Rock \u2018n\u2019 roll royalty are among those mourning the death of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts. The word \u201cgreat\u201d was among the superlatives used to describe Watts, deemed the Stones\u2019 mainstay by his bandmates. Elton John called Watts \u201cthe ultimate drummer\u201d and brilliant company. Paul McCartney called him \u201ca lovely guy.\u201d Dave Davies of The Kinks called Watts a \u201cgreat drummer” and Little Steven Van Zandt called him \u201cone of the greatest drummers\u201d in the greatest bands ever. Lenny Kravitz tweeted that Watts was \u201dthe beat” of the Stones. Charlie Watts died at age 80 in London, with family beside him.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Hours after leaving office, scandal-tainted former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo suffered another defeat: losing the special Emmy Award he received last year for his daily, televised briefings on the coronavirus pandemic. The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said in a statement Tuesday that given Cuomo\u2019s resignation amid a torrent of sexual harassment allegations, it was taking away the prize and removing any reference to him in its official materials. Cuomo left office at 12 a.m. Tuesday, two weeks after he announced he would resign rather than face an impeachment battle that seemed inevitable after a report by independent investigators \u2014 overseen by state Attorney General Letitia James \u2014 concluded he had sexually harassed 11 women.<\/p>\n
