The Santorum campaign blasted out the news this evening that conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly will be voting for Rick Santorum. Schlafly came to prominence as an anti-feminist in the 1970s and succesfully fought ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. She announced her support for Santorum with a message to supporters of her organization, the Eagle Forum:
This is just a quick note to my Missouri friends to let you know that I’m planning to vote for Rick Santorum in the non-binding presidential preference primary on Tuesday, February 7.
Faithfully,
Phyllis Schlafly
