Political Activist Phyllis Schlafly's Letter Evokes all Kinds of Comments on Patch

Director of the Eagle Forum and Ladue resident takes strong stance against Prop 1

Phyllis Schlafly, a long time conservative political activist and former resident of Alton, IL and now Ladue has weighed in on the highly-controversial .49 cent tax levy on the ballot April 3 in Ladue.

Schlafly stands behind the facts and figures of the Take Back Ladue Commitee, urging fellow residents to vote down the tax levy. So far, more than 30 readers have weighed in on this hot-button issue.

Schlafly penned her message using the letter head of the Eagle Forum. Some might interpret that as using the weight of her national organization to influence a local election? Others might just say she is expressing her own points of view?
