YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS! CRUZ SUPPORTERS ATTEMPT COUP AT EAGLE FORUM!
Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly 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 led the fight to defeat the Equal Rights Amendment.
Phyllis Schlafly is 91 years-old.
On March 11, 2016 conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly endorsed Donald Trump for President at his St. Louis rally.
But not everyone in her organization, Eagle Forum – or her family – agreed with Phyllis Schlafly’s decision.
Last week Phyllis Schlafly released several board members for disloyalty to the organization. The group was planning to hold rogue board meeting to take over the Eagle Forum.
Today the rogue Cruz supporters attempted a coup.
They held a non-sanctioned meeting and blocked Phyllis Schlafly from their conference call.
This email was sent out Monday afternoon.
St. Louis, Missouri:
“At 2pm today, 6 directors of Eagle Forum met in an improper, unprecedented telephone meeting. I objected to the meeting and at 2:11pm, I was muted from the call. The meeting was invalid under the Bylaws but the attendees purported to pass several motions to wrest control of the organization from me. They are attempting to seize access to our bank accounts, to terminate employees, and to install members of their own Gang of 6 to control the bank accounts and all of Eagle Forum.
“The members of their group are: Eunie Smith of Alabama, Anne Cori of Missouri, Cathie Adams of Texas, Rosina Kovar of Colorado, Shirley Curry of Tennessee, and Carolyn McLarty of Oklahoma.
“This kind of conduct will not stand and I will fight for Eagle Forum and I ask all men and women of good will to join me in this fight.”
This is a developing story—-
before any of you Trumpers get excited it...
GFY.
Thanks for sharing the level of ignorance that you represent, you must be another one innocent Trump victims.
The ignorance is strong with you, GPH. On so many levels.
No! If it was not a duly convened meeting of the board of directors it was an attempted coup and it was not "over the top editorializing."
To understand the boy look to the man
Read up on Rafael Cruz’s religious beliefs that raised his son and tell me there aren’t some behaviors here that reflect this fanaticism that is overtaking the will of the people and the legitimacy of the Republic

PING

Par for the course. This Cruzer thuggery has been going on for a while. Right before she endorsed Trump Cruz put out this BS gaslighting press release implying that the Eagle Forum was endorsing HIM. Gestapo tactics indeed.

your tagline states you don’t vote for republicans and yet you are for the establishment pick LLOL
That is always a common perseption of those on the other side.
For example by calling them “mean spirited and nasty” you come off as exactly what you are calling them. =)
You do realize what you just said flies in the face of the trumpettes MO. Make a mountain out of a mole hill, get worked up, make a lotta noise then move on to the next thing before the truth catches up with them.
What a ridiculous hypothetical strawman
You obviously have no idea who Schlafly is......what she has accomplished or how....
....or her strength of character
Many of Cruz’s supporters here on FR are the same way...mean spirited and nasty.
This is what we can expect from a Cruz Presidency. Anyone disagreeing will be forced out. It’s happening all over with the delegates. Now organizations are being forced to join the Cruz mindset.
Phyllis is Eagle Forum.
Ted Cruz is a globalist.
With Cruz or Hillary we get over run by third world migrants and we continue to lose jobs and manufacturing to low wage countries. Cruz and Hillary are just different sides of the same uniparty coin. Unless we solve our problem with illegals invading the USA this cycle we are toast. Neither Cruz nor Hillary is going to do anything meaningful about the illegals so I really don’t see any reason to vote for either one of them.
“Cruz’s unfavorables are only a few points better than Trump’s.”
So you admit that Cruz is polling better against Hillary than Trump. Thank you for being honest, in this instance.
The Cruzers were rabid RomneyBots 4 years ago...
they had no problem backing the liberal pro-abortion Willard...
now suddenly they’ve found religion...
Theo, here are direct quotes from Rafael saying exactly what I described. It's your word versus Daddy Cruz himself, who is an actual Dominionist and knows their teachings:

who’s “we” kemosabe? I, for one, am glad at any LEGAL attempt to keep the contemptible liberal statist Trump as far away from the White House as possible.

Finished the sentence.
who’s “we” kemosabe? I, for one, am glad at any LEGAL attempt to keep the contemptible liberal statist Trump as far away from the White House as possible and elect Hillary Clinton.
Another Tool Fool.
Exactly. There are many unanswered questions about this. How many board members are there? Do the six constitute a quorum? Do they need 100% agreement to hold an unscheduled meeting and lastly, did Ted Cruz tell them to do this?
So some Cruz people got zotted at the Eagle Forum.
LOLOL!
Sorry. Been there and seen these kinds of unlawful coups in nonprofits. They all follow a pattern - hotheads holding a rump meeting and trying to use it to seize control. It goes nowhere because the process for doing this is well settled in the Nonprofit Corporation Act.
If the board members are acting according to their bylaws it’s not a “coup”.
But they were not, as the article said
As you note, the article said; however, the article did not show.
Was it a non-notice meeting? What constitutes notice under the actual bylaws, and what sort of notice was actually given? What constitutes quorum? Who was presiding?
If we had more facts, we might be able to draw conclusions one way or another, though given that Schafly was present and participating for the first 11 minutes, one might end up concluding that this is something of a mess. Facts would be useful things.
