Information
Organization's Own Description:
Eagle Forum's Mission is to enable conservative and pro-family men and women to participate in the process of self-government and public policy making so that America will continue to be a land of individual liberty, respect for family integrity, public and private virtue, and private enterprise.
Eagle Forum's achievements prove that citizen-volunteers can affect government policies in Congress, state legislatures, city councils and school boards; elect candidates at every level; and articulate conservative and pro-family policies through the media.
Eagle Forum supports American sovereignty
We oppose opening U.S. northern and southern borders to a North American Community, or Security and Prosperity Partnership, or any kind of economic integration.
We oppose all encroachments against American sovereignty through United Nations treaties or conferences that try to impose global taxes, gun registration, energy restrictions, feminist goals, or regulation on our use of oceans.
We support the deployment of an anti-ballistic missile defense to protect American lives.
Eagle Forum supports American identity
We support establishing English as our official language.
We support immediate border security to stop the entry of illegal aliens, illegal drugs, women seeking to give birth to "anchor babies," Third World diseases, criminal gangs, and potential terrorists.We oppose all variations of amnesty and guest-worker visas. Our first task is to assimilate the millions of non-English-speaking foreignborn who are legal residents.
We support reduction in income taxes and lower taxes on families with children.
We support the private enterprise system and reject the false dogmas that tax-and-spend government or a global economy can solve our social and economic problems.
We support putting control of health care spending in the hands of individuals by making health insurance tax deductible for all persons, not just for employers.
Eagle Forum supports the Constitution
We support the sanctity of human life as a gift from our Creator, as proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence.
We oppose all efforts to call a new Constitutional Convention that could rewrite our U.S. Constitution.
We support congressional action to curb the Imperial Judiciary by refusing to confirm activist judges and by withdrawing jurisdiction from the federal courts over areas where we don't trust them, such as the Pledge of Allegiance, the Ten Commandments, the Boy Scouts, and the definition of marriage.
We support the right of individuals to keep and bear arms, as guaranteed in the Second Amendment.
We support making elections honest by requiring positive identification for voters, cleaning up registration rolls, and enforcing ballot security.
Eagle Forum exposes the radical feminists
We support constitutional amendments and federal and state legislation to protect the institution of marriage and the equally important roles of father and mother.We honor the fulltime homemaker and her rights in joint income tax returns.
We oppose the feminist goals of stereotyping men as a constant danger to women, while at the same time pushing women into military combat against foreign enemies.
Eagle Forum successfully led the ten-year battle to defeat the misnamed Equal Rights Amendment with its hidden agenda of tax-funded abortions and same-sex marriages.
Eagle Forum supports traditional education
Every child should be able to read by the end of the first grade and should be taught to read using phonics.We urge parents to teach their own children to read before they enter school. Reducing illiteracy is an Eagle Forum priority.
We oppose and deplore the dumbing down of the academic curriculum through fads such as Outcome-Based Education and courses in self-esteem, diversity, and multiculturalism.
We oppose liberal propaganda in the curriculum through global education and Political Correctness.
We support parents' rights to guide the education of their own children, to protect their children against immoral instruction and materials, and to home-school without oppressive government regulations.
We oppose the feminist goal of federally financed and regulated daycare.
Eagle Forum was a primary factor in passing the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, and we strongly support its enforcement to protect children against psychological testing and mental-health screening without parental consent.
Eagle Forum sponsors programs for Eagle Forum Collegians and Teen Eagles so they will be taught accurate information about American history and current issues.
