Molotov

Most Excellent Mr. President of the Republic

I write this letter in order to address a great injustice committed upon a great number of citizens in our country. I write this letter to address a horrific tragedy which we can so easily overcome as a nation. I write this letter to bring forward the most essential social reform in Brazil, to serve a beacon of hope and democracy throughout the world, and to prove to the great powers of old that Brazil, too, is great. Across the world democracies and empires alike are recognising the role of women in society, and are reinforcing their rights for the most basic yet most important aspects in any democratic state, the election of their leader.

Women have the same two legs, two hands, two eyes, a mouth, a nose, a heart, a brain. They can read and write and have contributed globally to the success of civilisations. They make up half of the population of Brazil, so why is it that we cannot guarantee their rights as citizens of this great nation and give those disenfranchised full voting rights as any man has? As we had our history of slavery, can we really call ourselves a great nation when we deprive these fundamental rights to a vast number of our population? Should we really have pride for reducing our wives and daughters, our mothers and sisters to mere second class citizens?

I, Governor Getulio Vargas, on behalf of the Aliança Nacional Liberal and quite frankly on behalf of all Brazilians, do implore the President to propose a constitutional amendment to the chambers of the Brazilian National Congress in order for it to be approved by our dutiful legislature. In the name of Brazil and Democracy, I trust in the most esteemed Presidency to make the decision that is best for Brazil and her citizens.

The Communist Party of Brazil, being a party of women's liberation, fully endorse this letter written by Comrade Vargas. Universal suffrage is a necessity, and we shall not cease to demand it.

We, PLD, also endorse this letter. To truly make use of Brazil's full potential, every man - and woman - must be given a voice. How can we call ourselves a free nation, if half of us are denied this most basic right? It is imperative that Brazil make use of all resources at our disposal - women must be granted greater freedoms to pursue their own whims and desires, to pursue their own dreams and fully contribute to society in a more meaningful way.

We also agree that US is fully needed and hope to see it put in place BEFORE the next election

We ask that His Excellency the President makes a public response to Governor Vargas' letter, for clarity.

Pretty please?

Governor Vargas,

I was intrigued to receive your letter and believe that I understand the cause for which you are urging. Indeed, your letter appears to have precipitated efforts within the legislature already, though they were not in keeping with the procedures of that body.

Rest assured that I have issued instructions to my staff to look into proposals for women's suffrage, which we will soon present to the legislature. As you have noted yourself, this is a growing movement throughout the world, and it would be best to face this before it is forced upon us by circumstances.

From,
His Excellency Mr Washington Luís Pereira de Sousa, President of the Republic of the United States of Brazil
