EAGLE FORUM ANNOUNCES TWO NEW STATE PRESIDENTS.  Phyllis Schlafly announces that longtime Eagle Pat Andrews, now of Sanibel, Florida, will take over as Florida Eagle Forum President, replacing our dearly beloved Carole Griffin of Tallahassee who has been such a marvelous spokesman for so many years, but who recently passed away.  Pat Andrews has a long record of service to the conservative cause in Missouri as well as in Florida. Phyllis also announces that longtime Eagle Pat Carlson, who has served with distinction as Texas Eagle Forum President, and has done outstanding work in attending and reporting on United Nations conferences all over the world, has resigned to run for the Texas State Legislature.  Phyllis has appointed Cathie Adams to take over the big task of Texas State President.  Cathie is well known to Eagles all over Texas and the country because she served in that position for years before Pat Carlson's tenure. You will be hearing more from and about these two outstanding leaders.  We are so proud  of the high caliber and abilities of our State Presidents. 

 

EAGLE FORUM SOUNDS THE ALERT: 'AMENDMENTS CONVENTION' UP FOR A VOTE ON ARIZONA SENATE FLOOR AS EARLY AS MONDAY. Whatever name you give it, using Article V to call a convention for the consideration of Amendments is a bad idea. Fears that America is so far gone that only a Constitution Convention is the way to fix it ignores that the same leaders who vote for unbalanced budgets and bad ideas will be first in line to be delegates along with the Occupy Movement and many other factions. James Madison warned that a convention to amend the Constitution "would be courted by the most violent partisans on both sides ... [and] no doubt contain individuals of insidious views..." Keep an eye out for both the National Popular Vote and "Article V" Convention bills in your state and alert Janine Hansen, Eagle Forum National Issues Chairman ASAP: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

A ROCKFORD, IL ABORTION BUSINESS, OPEN SINCE 1973, SHUTS DOWN. After the abortion provider failed health and safety inspections, the Illinois Department of Public Health ordered an emergency suspension of the clinic's license Sept. 30. It has not taken appointments since Sept. 30, and is closing for good because of lack of support from the community, the political climate surrounding the abortion issue and the challenge the clinic would face in rebuilding staff according to an email its owners sent to the Rockford Register Star as the reason for permanently closing their business. Many other abortion facilities in Illinois have not been inspected for years, according Eric Scheidler, executive director of the Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League.  http://www.rrstar.com, 1-14-12.
