Highlights from Legislative Days 2012
The guest speaker Wednesday night – and the favorite of the Legislative Days participants – was Star Parker, a popular syndicated columnist with the Scripps Howard News Service. Her column is carried weekly by newspapers across the country and opinion sites such as Townhall. She is also a social critic, book author, and conservative political activist. Star is a sought-after speaker and appears regularly on TV and radio. In 1995 she founded the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) and she serves as its president. Her success with CURE stems from her personal experience as a welfare recipient. She spent her teen and early adult years as an unemployed mother on welfare. She had many arrests for shoplifting and she had four abortions. Star Parker has lived the life that Obama’s policies lead to and encourage so that poor people are trapped in a cycle of poverty, raised in fatherless households, develop a sense of entitlement, and will vote for Democrats to continue their government handouts. Star managed to escape. After converting to Christianity, she embarked upon a career as a spokesperson for conservative social and political causes. She opposes many public entitlements, claiming that welfare is similar to an invitation to a government plantation, which creates a situation where those who accept the invitation switch mindsets from “How do I take care of myself?” to “What do I have to do to stay on the plantation?” Star said stable families and strong moral values are the key to ending poverty.

Workshop About Our Constitutional Crisis
Click here to view our mock debate on YouTube!
To inject a little humor into the seriousness of 2012 elections while reminding attendees of how the Constitution is being negated by the Obama Administration, one workshop featured an entertaining mock presidential debate. The mock debate focused on the differences between the two Parties, reveal how Obama is specifically shredding the Constitution, and how Republicans can win the White House and restore the Constitution and America’s greatness by concentrating on and educating the public on key themes that cross party lines and will unite conservatives behind the Republican presidential candidate.
Special thanks to K. Carl Smith and Alva Lambert
for playing the roles of President Obama and President Reagan, AFRW’s Alicia Liburdi for playing the moderator and AFRW’s Frances Taylor for playing the newscaster in the skit.
