What this episode covers
Eagle Forum is proof that the grassroots can beat Washington, and in this episode Jenny Beth Martin sits down with its president, Kris Ullman, for the full story of how it happens. Ullman traces the organization from its founding by Phyllis Schlafly, the homemaker who organized women across the country, single-handedly defeated the Equal Rights Amendment, and earned the title of mother of the pro-family movement. She sold three million copies of her book A Choice, Not an Echo out of her garage and taught ordinary Americans how to become convention delegates and reshape the Republican Party from the precinct level up. That same playbook drives Eagle Forum's fights today. Ullman lays out the push for the SAVE America Act to require voter ID and proof of citizenship, the effort to ban stock trading by members of Congress, the pro-life battle over the abortion pill and the Chloe Cole Act, and a new campaign to protect children from today's high-potency marijuana. She also details how the Biden Justice Department subpoenaed Eagle Forum's Alabama chapter for lobbying its own lawmakers, and how the group fought back and won. Kris Ullman is president of Eagle Forum, a Catholic University-trained attorney, and a former executive director who returned to lead the organization in 2022. It is a masterclass in how citizens win. Learn more at teapartypatriots.org and jennybethshow.com.
