Conservative,
Pro-family Icon Phyllis Schlafly to Iowans:
“Cast Your Caucus Vote For Michele
Bachmann”
Urbandale, Iowa
- Phyllis Schlafly, a
national leader of the conservative movement since the 1960s, today
urged Iowans to support Republican presidential candidate Michele
Bachmann in the
State’s first-in-the-nation caucuses.
“You have the
opportunity to make a real difference for our nation on January
3,” Schlafly writes in a message to voters. “Most important, Michele
has the courage to be a leader among her peers. She is a real
champion in speaking up for values we care about. Michele is a woman of
faith and the mother of a beautiful family. She has a 100 percent
pro-life
record and is a strong supporter of traditional marriage.”
She continued, “We don’t want the media to choose our
candidate, or tell us we must choose one of the two who currently lead
in the polls. We want a consistent conservative who will lead the
battle to
terminate Barack Obama’s plans to ‘fundamentally transform the United
States.’ Throughout the past months of campaigning and
presidential debates, Michele Bachmann has been an unwavering and
articulate advocate for traditional values and fiscal sanity.”
Schlafly also noted that the three-term congresswoman has “worked
tirelessly against the expansion of unpopular government programs such
as
Obamacare and skyrocketing levels of deficit spending.”
“If
I were an Iowa voter, I would be making plans right now to cast
my vote for Michele Bachmann for President on January 3. I hope you
will take advantage of this golden opportunity to support a candidate
we can all
be proud of,” Schlafly said.
Schlafly, who was named one of the 100 Most Important Women of the 20th
Century by the Ladies'
Home Journal, has been a national leader of the conservative movement
since the publication of her best-selling 1964 book, A Choice Not An
Echo.
She has been a leader of the pro-family movement since 1972, when she
started her national volunteer organization now called Eagle Forum.
In a ten-year battle, Mrs. Schlafly led the pro-family movement to
victory over the Equal Rights Amendment, which was the principal
legislative goal
of the radical feminists. Her syndicated column appears in 100
newspapers, her radio commentaries are heard daily on more than 600
stations, and her
radio talk show on education called "Eagle Forum Live" is heard weekly
on 75 stations across the country.
