Kelleigh Nelson -- Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum Torn Apart by Cruz Supporters

Dissidents are pro Constitutional Convention and Cruz Supporters

These six women are against Schlafly’s opposition to a new push for a Constitutional Convention via Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) as well as the Convention of States. Schlafly has always fought a Con-Con, and was at our side in the early 80s to defeat the call then when the same ruse of a BBA was used.

As of January, 27 states had passed resolutions calling for a constitutional convention, most relying on model legislation drafted by the American Legislative Exchange Council and the Convention of States, a little-known group founded by Michael Farris.

Five of these six women are also Cruz supporters, and Cruz is all for a Constitutional Convention. He needs a Convention in order to pass the North American Union which his wife, Heidi, so diligently worked on at the CFR for five years. Supporter Glenn Beck, and David Barton who heads up the Keep-the-Promise Cruz PAC, are both pushing a Con-Con.

From the Convention of States website come this: Ted Cruz immediately declared his support for Mark Levin's book, The Liberty Amendments upon its release. He posted a link on his Facebook page and wrote, "Mark's book sparks an important discussion about how to fix the problems that face our Republic." As well, check out Ted's article in the National Review where he promotes a Convention.

Really Ted Cruz? You really believe a Constitutional Convention will fix the problems our Republic faces? Excuse me Ted, but the founders gave useverything we need. The problem is that the legislative, executive and judicial branches of our government do not want to follow what they've sworn an oath to.

In a conversation with Bob Menges, the South Carolina director for the Convention of States (COS) Project, Cruz reiterated his support for the movement

Cathie Adams, gave an interview to the Dallas Morning News, critical of Schlafly’s endorsement of Trump. I fully believe Cathie Adams and Ann Cori have spearheaded this entire takeover of Eagle Forum, the ousting of EdMartin, as well as eliminating founder, Phyllis Schlafly. Phyllis rescinded her endorsement of Cathie Adams to be vice chair of the Texas GOP after Adams’ interview with the Dallas Morning News.

Here is the letter Phyllis wrote after this phone meeting was finished:

I have just released the following statement to the press and our members:

"At 2:00 pm 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."

Ed Martin stated, “When people don’t return your phone calls or give you a straight answer about what they’re doing, Phyllis knows enough to recognize that’s pretty hostile.” Martin also cited an instance where an EF member who was also working for Ted Cruz, took a membership list and gave it to the Cruz campaign for marketing. “The Cruz campaign backed off using the list,” he said, “But we have a few incidents and the EF members who have endorsed Cruz are not happy with Phyllis’s endorsement of Trump.”
