NFRW
Affirms GOP Support of Women at Board Meeting
Refutes
Democrats’ Claim of ‘Republican War on Women’
March 19, 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 on March 15-17 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 sign
of
desperation and is simply not rooted in fact.”
Chornenky
encouraged attendees 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 in
November, 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 initiatives are working in his state and across the nation.
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.
