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.
Two weeks ago 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.
Last week the rogue Cruz supporters attempted a coup at Eagle Forum. They held a non-sanctioned meeting and reportedly blocked Phyllis Schlafly from their conference call.
Today Phyllis released a video to the Eagle Forum. She’s still in charge.
“There seems to be a lot of confusion on what is going on in the ranks. I understand it was said that I was there but I only piped into the meeting to say I objected to the validity to what it’s doing. And I don’t. I’m still in charge.”
The Cruz supporters argued that Phyllis is senile and not in charge of Eagle Forum.

“If she is the powerful icon that she claims to be why would I have to do a search to find out who she is?”
Because you may be interested in FACTS instead of opinion?
Nevermind.
“There’s no need to be rude even if someone else is rude. She’s well known to the older set.”
I am aware that she is well known. She is so well known that this buffoon is obviously trolling, and trying to minimize her stature. I’m sick of Cruzlim sneers, and no one is obligated to provide basics to some who is that pig ignorant if not a troll. But that is a troll.
I've seen her name pop up before here several times.
How many books on National Defense have you written shelterguy?
You have a 50 year history founding a conservative legal forum and defense fund?
When did you graduate Harvard Law?
Once you can say yes to those three then maybe you will be worth to lick Phyllis’s boots. Her list of accomplishments is long and I dare you OR CRUZ to match it.
I guess I had better vote for him.
The woman has been an outspoken conservative for over 40 years and written 23 books.
She is not a pop-up.
The lack of knowledge people have about Phyllis says NOTHING about her mental health and everything about those forming an opinion based on headlines.
You hope he has the tact to pull it off? With all due respect, he is getting his butt kicked by Cruz by being too lazy, cheap or simply ignorant to learn the rules of the states in picking delegates. (Oh, and tact has never been his strong suit.)
Not talked about much is the federalisism issue here. Conservatives believe that as much as possible remain the domain of the states. Trump wants the GOP (national authority) to fix things. If he were anywhere near a conservative, he would respect the rights of the states to set their own rules and spend the money to hire people to manage the system to his advantage. I think Trump is not willing to spend his own money to build a proper organization to win the nomination. It is easier to be the Whiner in Chief.
I have no idea what that means.
“Is she somebody we are supposed to know and pay attention to? I don’t know who she is nor did I get the memo.”
Then you are not yet dry behind the ears! When you are old enough, we’ll tell you about her.
“With all due respect, he is getting his butt kicked by Cruz by being too lazy, cheap or simply ignorant to learn the rules of the states in picking delegates.”
Then you understand where I’m coming from. And I you.
Cruz is toxic as are his supporters. The sooner this fraud exits the race the better for the country.
I started to post the same thing. Research is really quite simple. Some people are really lazy. I noticed that on the sports forums I belong to. Did you know if you type in a name, place, etc many sites will pop up to tell people what they want to know? Isn’t that amazing? : )
She misspoke.
Are you 12? How have you NEVER heard of her? Must be that “shelter” you’re holed up in. You should get out more
If you are for real as ignorant as you claim to be about Phyllis Schafly you cannot know much about the conservative movement and the women who have been hugely involved in all areas of conservative activism. You are not as smart as you seem to think you are. When you realize that fact and accept it, you will cease to be a smart alek. Good luck with that!
[Is she somebody we are supposed to know and pay attention to? I don’t know who she is nor did I get the memo.]
I get now why your username is “ShelterGuy”...

If you don’t know who she is you don’t belong on this site and you aren’t a conservative.
“It will take you hours to read her conservative accomplishments and mission.”
Must not of been to big a deal if no one has ever heard of her. What was the biggest thing she did?
Well, I didn’t have to read hours to be convinced of the
importance of her role in American conservatism however
it does make her decision even more questionable.
As hard as it may be for you, don't be an idiot.
I remember someone who was a great friend and ally of Phyllis Schlafly and he is pictured here. This isn't just some random photo, they worked on the same side for years
Crummy Cruz will shortly be eliminated mathematically from contention for the Republican nomination. But that doesn’t mean that he will not continue to win voterless state convention, steal delegates, lie about Trump positions and seek to buy nude photos like his man Jeff Roe did already from Esquire.
Canadian Cruz is against people voting because when they vote he usually loses.
His people saying Phyllis is senile is just another Cruz lie, because she has the common sense to back Mr. Donald J. Trump. God Bless Phyllis, and Go Trump Go
