Carla Lee: Put Virgin Mary on our currency
It has been brought to President Obama’s attention that only men have been on our currency, and that it’s only fair a woman should also grace our tender. Well, I’ve given this thought, and have come up with what I feel would be the perfect woman: The Virgin Mary.
The Virgin Mary, Jesus’ mother, would be the perfect one to honor our currency, as for 2,000 years she has been known all over the world. No other woman has had such fame, or been as loved, as she. Why not honor the only woman in history to have given us so very much, her Son, the redeemer of the world? She should be honored by being the new face on our currency.
Carla Lee, Modesto
