Eagle Forum: Still Going Strong After 51 Years
Eagle Forum: A Legacy of Strength and Courage
Eagle Forum, the national grassroots organization founded by the late Phyllis Schlafly in 1972, continues to thrive and make a difference. With a rich history of conservative values and pro-life advocacy, Eagle Forum remains a powerful force in defending our freedoms and traditional family values.
Phyllis Schlafly’s journey began when she led the successful battle against the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which aimed to promote liberal feminist ideals. Recognizing the importance of staying connected with like-minded individuals, Schlafly transformed her movement into the Eagle Forum, a permanent organization dedicated to preserving our nation’s values.
Renewing Strength: The Eagle Council
One of the hallmarks of Eagle Forum is the annual Eagle Council, a gathering of leaders and members from across the nation. This conference, held alternately in St. Louis and Washington D.C., provides a platform for outstanding speakers to address critical issues and share insights. It is a testament to Schlafly’s vision and the enduring spirit of the organization.
Empowering the Next Generation
Eagle Forum’s commitment to the future is evident in its support of young leaders. Through scholarships and opportunities for involvement, Eagle Forum nurtures the next generation of conservative voices. At the recent 51st annual Eagle Council, scholarship winners Janaya Swehle and Alayna Grupico had the privilege of attending the conference and experiencing the power of this remarkable organization.
Championing Important Causes
The Eagle Council 2023 focused on the theme “Faith Not Fear,” drawing inspiration from II Timothy 1:7. The conference featured a lineup of exceptional speakers who addressed a wide range of pressing issues. From defending women’s sports to combating screen addiction, these speakers shed light on the challenges our society faces and offered solutions rooted in faith and courage.
Unveiling the Truth
One of the highlights of the conference was the insightful talk by Senator Mary Miller on the importance of faith, family, and farming. She emphasized the vital role these pillars play in our nation’s foundation and the need to protect them from ongoing attacks. Her message resonated with attendees, reminding them of the values worth fighting for.
Other notable speakers included Kristyn Ruzicka, who exposed the dangers of the Metaverse and its potential exploitation of children, and Melanie Heepe, who shared her personal journey of overcoming screen addiction and the importance of strong family values.
Standing Strong Against Woke Ideology
James Lindsey, a renowned author and philosopher, engaged in a thought-provoking discussion on combating woke ideology. He highlighted the underlying Marxist agenda behind these radical ideologies and encouraged parents to consider homeschooling as a means of protecting their children from indoctrination.
Protecting Our Nation from China’s Threat
Frank Gaffney, an expert on national security, shed light on the dangers posed by China. He exposed the regime’s atrocities and its impact on our economy, military, and global governance. Gaffney’s insights served as a wake-up call, urging attendees to recognize the urgent need to address this looming threat.
Building a Strong Future
Eagle Forum’s commitment to preserving our nation’s values and empowering future generations is unwavering. Under the leadership of President Kris Ullman and CEO Anne Schlafly Carpenter, the organization continues to make a difference. With a renewed sense of purpose and a steadfast dedication to faith and freedom, Eagle Forum stands as a beacon of hope in these challenging times.
As we reflect on the 51st annual Eagle Council, we are reminded of the words of Isaiah 40:31, “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings of eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and shall walk and not faint.” Let us join hands with Eagle Forum and soar to new heights, united in our commitment to preserving the values that make our nation great.
