#1 I'm assuming that Tubman will buy considerably less than Jackson.

#2 If the Republicans make enough noise that Tubman was actually a Republican the Democrats will kills this idea.

#3 All abolishionists were Republicans
The Republican Party was founded as an abolishionist party

#5  Freedom Fighter, Courageous in the extreme, went armed, devout Christian.

What am I missing? Oh yea, she's not white.

Andrew Jackson on the other hand while tasked by oath on a bible to protect and defend our constitution was secretly robbing the Cherokee lands while he plotted to remove them like the Japanese removed our soldiers in the Bataan Death March.

But, he is white.

#6 I doubt many folks here of any hue or cry have anything against Tubman. I'd be fine with putting her on the flag if that passed in an honest vote. Problem is, Tubman on the twenty's just a wedge, a token that'll end up being the currency analog of the Sowell documentary that aired last night on San Diego PBS. At ten o'clock. First and last airing, according to the schedule.

#7 Just use a picture of Tubman holding her rifle and I'm cool with her on the $20. (In fact I prefer her to Jackson even without the gun. Of course I really dislike Jackson.)

#9 Little MG memory magic: Thirty years on, I can hear a NO cashier -- young black girl -- calling AJ "Ol' Ugly" like it was yesterday. Completely innocent and apolitical, too. Must've dreamed it. Also, getting in early for putting Joe on any damn coin whatsoever as long as it's got a square hole in it.

#10 Funny thing is the powers that be would like to get rid of cash entirely.

#11 ^ Exactly - Physical "Cash", days have come and are to be shortly gone.

When was the last time you used a "coin operated vending machine", or a "Bill Exchanger"...rarely ?

Today and in the future - "will that be debit, credit or cyber cash coin" ?
