Phyllis Schlafly was a national treasure. For decades, she epitomized and spoke for American women – and for that matter, American men – who love this country, who truly support equal opportunities for all and who refuse to submit to the anti-American political agenda and nostrums of the Left.

Needless to say, Mrs. Schlafly’s courage, skill and tenacity in standing up for – and often securing the triumph of – our country’s traditional values and vital interests made her anathema to feminists, Communists and their many admirers in the media. Now, four years after her death, they are seeking revenge.

Actress Cate Blanchett has reportedly done a hatchet job mini-series aimed at sullying Phyllis’ reputation and overcoming her best-known achievement – the defeat of the so-called Equal Rights Amendment. Fortunately, it won’t work. The ERA is dead. And my friend, the great Phyllis Schlafly, lives on.
