St. Louis, Missouri—The How to Take Back America Conference got underway here today at the Frontenac Hilton. It is sponsored by Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum, which she founded in 1967. This year’s assemblage has gathered together a number of different organizations with a unified focus of love for God and America. It is the largest Eagle Forum convention ever held.

Things got underway early this afternoon with a prayer, and songs performed by Rick Heil, the lead singer for the popular contemporary Christian band, Sonic Flood.

The first speaker was Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin (Ret.). General Boykin was one of the original members of Delta Force, and was at one time in command of the U.S. .Army’s Special Forces. He is an ordained minister with a passion for spreading the “Good News.â€
