Host: | Jim Schneider |
Guest: | Phyllis Schlafly |
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
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 principal legislative goal of the radical feminists, called the Equal Rights
Amendment. An articulate and successful opponent of the radical feminist
movement, she appears in debate on college campuses more frequently
than any other conservative. She was named one of the 100 most important
women of the 20th century by the Ladies' Home Journal.
When Democratic lawmakers in Wisconsin fled to Illinois last month to
avoid a vote on a state budget bill, a new political precedent was being set.
After several weeks of holding up the democratic process, the lawmakers
returned and are being viewed by some as heroes.
Phyllis brings her experience to bear on this topic of lawless lawmakers as
she comments on the Wisconsin Democrats that fled their responsibilities,
the difficulty of the recall process, the death threats sent to Governor Scott
Walker, and she also answers numerous questions from Crosstalk listeners.
