I think Cruz supporters were trying to highjack that organization as well!
Any reason why?
Earlier in the day, there was a thread where Phyllis had asked her daughter and five (possibly six) other to resign. This was undoubtedly due to their attempt to counter her support for Donald Trump.
If the head of the board has been removed and these six (7?) remain, then I'd say the Eagle Forum has been taken out of Phyllis control on behalf of Ted Cruz.
Folks can read the other thread here. LINK
Just looked at the Eagle Forum site, http://www.eagleforum.org/, and it looks as if Phyllis Schlafly is pretty much the face of the EF.
Tony Tarantino has a beef going with his son, Jon Voight is on the outs with his daughter, so Phyllis shouldn’t feel alone on this. Luckily, the worst thing we can say about Donald Trump’s kids is that a couple of them forgot to change their voter registration! ;-)
Ohh good grief, sometimes the adults need to stand in.
Lets take a look back in history. 2002 Alabama...
During the campaign, actor and National Rifle Association president Charlton Heston came to Alabama to campaign for Republican congressional candidates. While in the state, Heston released a written statement endorsing Siegelman, despite the fact that Riley had made a point of being seen in public with Heston. Spokesmen for both Riley and the Alabama Republican Party issued statements insinuating that Siegelman had taken advantage of Heston’s recently diagnosed Alzheimer’s disease to secure the endorsement. After a firestorm of criticism from the NRA and editorial pages, the Republican spokesmen apologized to Heston, but not to Siegelman.

There is a reason Mrs. Phyllis Schlafly has two of her own flesh and blood on the board. Not to stab her in the back but to protect her. At 91 sometimes people do take advantage of you.
