NFRW
Affirms GOP Support of Women at Board Meeting
Local
Republican Leader Trains for 2012 Elections
April 1, 2012
NEW ORLEANS
– More than 250 Republican women leaders from across the nation
gathered at the
National Federation of Republican Women’s (NFRW) spring board meeting
in New
Orleans to prepare for the 2012 elections and to declare that the
latest
Democrat media strategy is just a cheap political ploy.
“Democrats
are running around squawking about a ‘Republican War on Women,’” NFRW
President
Rae Lynne Chornenky said. “They are ignoring the indisputable fact that
the
NFRW has more than 75,000 female members whose leadership, influence,
skill and
passion for conservative principles form the backbone of our party, and
have
for more than 70 years. This liberal campaign scheme is clearly a move
of
desperation and is simply not rooted in fact.”
Chornenky
encouraged attendees, which included Lyn Bliss of Greenville, to stand
strong
during this critical campaign year. “It will take all of us, working as
a
unified team, to restore effective leadership to our great nation. We
must
elect a Republican president and U.S. Senate, and maintain our numbers
in the
U.S. House and in state and local governments.”
In
preparation for the elections, attendees participated in workshops on
the
national political landscape and on counteracting voter fraud. In
addition,
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal delivered an inspirational keynote address
on why
conservative proposals are working in his state and across the nation.
Bliss, a
member of the NFRW’s Legislative Committee, attended all general
sessions, the
Legislative Committee meeting, and regional meetings. “Election 2012:
An
Overview of Political Landscape” and “Protecting the Ballot Box:
Election
Integrity and Voter Fraud” were two of the workshops Bliss attended.
“Listening
to Anita Moncrief detail what she went through to blow the whistle on
ACORN was
a very moving and motivational experience. The cost to her personal
life put
her on a plane similar to those sacrifices experienced by our founding
fathers.
She is currently serving as Editor-in-chief of “Emerging Corruption”
and is
continuing to fight voter fraud and corruption, and protect the
Constitution.
Founded in
1938, the NFRW has thousands of active members in local clubs across
the nation
and in several U.S. territories, making it one of the largest women’s
political
organizations in the country. The grassroots organization works to
promote the
principles and objectives of the Republican Party, elect Republican
candidates,
inform the public through political education and activity, and
increase the
effectiveness of women in the cause of good government.
