Salt Lake City, Utah, November 20, 2009. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) unveiled his 2,074 page health care bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act. U.S. Senate candidate (R-UT) Cherilyn Eagar said, “Abortion funding language is included in this bill with no remedy to the problem that this is government-run health care, rationing services and placing our health care decision-making in the hands of Washington bureaucrats.”
Eagar urges the Senate to cast an unconditional NO vote on the cloture vote on the motion to proceed, which requires a 60-vote threshold and will likely occur sometime on Saturday, November 21st.
Eagar has been endorsed by her long-time friend, the First Lady of the Conservative Movement and founder of the national Eagle Forum, Phyllis Schlafly. “This bill in its entirety is an attack on life at all stages,” said Schlafly. ”The presence of the end-of-life counseling provisions in this bill and the Democrats’ rejection of all offered amendments to ban the practice of rationing is not a fluke. It is the foundation around which this legislation has been written.”
Eagar echoes Schalfly’s position that a YEA vote for cloture on the motion to proceed is not only a vote in favor of government-run health care, but it is also a vote for government-sanctioned euthanasia.
As a conservative woman, Eagar has opposed the liberal feminist agenda for over 30 years on the international, national and local levels. She says Utah’s family values aren’t being represented. “I don’t vote by gender, but here’s my experience: When a conservative woman walks into a room of liberal feminists, it totally neutralizes their argument. We’re their worst nightmare. Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein do not represent me, nor most of Utah. Yet, these women have an anti-life, anti-family, anti-men agenda and have been brow-beating and silencing some good men in the U.S. Senate for too long. Conservative leaders in Washington tell me they are desperate for a truly conservative woman in the U.S. Senate. It’s time for that voice to be heard to defend life at all stages – unborn and the elderly.”
Defending life has been a priority for Eagar and Eagle Forum since she began her political activism in 1978 as Phyllis Schlafly’s state media representative for Stop ERA in Illinois. Eagar played a key role in its demise saying it would have locked in Roe v. Wade beyond repair. “Thousands of women were involved in that early fight. I studied the law, knew the constitutional issues, and assisted with the research behind the legal brief that virtually killed passage of the ERA in the Illinois State legislature.”
“When I’m elected to the U.S. Senate, I will continue to work vigilantly to overthrow Roe v. Wade. Over 30 years ago, I accurately predicted that the feminist population control agenda would wreak havoc on our economy and our future stability in 30 years. Now we are there.”
Eagar calls upon the pro-life community to unite to defend the unborn and our free enterprise system, to contact Senators in every state, and to get behind her candidacy for U.S. Senate. “This health care bill is nothing more than the prescription for anti-American socialism. Our Senator is sponsoring a health care alternative that includes a provision to require non-church-owned insurance companies to provide an abortion option,” Eagar said.
He also voted for embryonic stem cell medical research. Eagar said, “Our Senator cannot call himself pro-life. He doesn’t represent me as a woman or as a Utahn. It’s time for us to thank our Senator and give him a retirement dinner.”

It is her. Checked her profile and she has
The_Gadfly (Diary) Saturday, November 21st at 12:50AM EST (link)prior postings linked to her campaign sites. I didn’t spend a lot of time reading it, but it looks similar to this post. Moe made a comment and referred her to Caleb about a minor issue, so it looks like she’s been fully vetted and possibly invited.

arc_ut (Diary) Saturday, November 21st at 8:48AM EST (link)I met and discussed Redstate.com at the 9.12 rally meetings on 9/12/09 in Salt Lake City. Cherilyn Eagar attended and spoke at those meetings.
Caleb Howe, Ken Marrero and Corie Whalen were speaking at the event.
I checked, and to this point, I have not found anything posted on her restate diary she didn’t write. Whether or not she posted it, or had someone with her campaign post it is not obvious.
Thanks Gadfly. nt

mom2oneson (Diary) Saturday, November 21st at 1:08AM EST (link)She is correct what on she says about phonics and education. She knows what a scam pouring money into the ed system and how damaging it is not to teach them phonics and what a scam it is blaming things on lack of money in the schools or blaming the income level of the students on illiteracy.
Schlafley on education and Schaefer on CPS our leaders should listen to these two ladies that know.
