MANASSAS, Va., March 31, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- Phyllis Schlafly, one of the most dynamic and influential pro-family conservative leaders in America, has endorsed Bob Marshall for Congress in the upcoming April 26 primary to fill the vacancy left by Congressman Frank Wolf’s retirement in Virginia's 10th Congressional District.

"Several years ago, I was proud to present Delegate Bob Marshall with Eagle Forum's award for outstanding, informed and faithful leadership in the battle for God, Life, Family and Country," Mrs. Schlafly said. "If ever we need brave leaders to fight for the values on which our nation was founded, that time is now!"

"The Founders understood that our inalienable rights come from our Creator, not government.  I am grateful that Bob has not lost this foundational vision throughout his more than 20 years of service in Virginia's General Assembly. 

"Bob Marshall has won 13 elections through hard work, attracting volunteers, and listening to voters door-to-door.  With our help Bob Marshall will serve the people of Virginia in the U.S. Congress.  He won't take orders from Republican consultants or Washington power brokers.

"Bob has been tested and remained true.  He never voted for a tax increase.  He passed laws to protect our privacy, increase transparency in government, uphold our constitutional rights, defend innocent life, and uphold Marriage.  He authored Virginia's Marriage Amendment which was passed by 1.3 million Virginia voters.  Bob sued the Governor and won a unanimous decision striking down 14 unconstitutional taxes.

"Bob Marshall has been faithful to Virginia voters for so many years. He is a reliable, tried-and-true candidate.  I urge all patriots to support Bob Marshall," Phyllis Schlafly said.

Mrs. Schlafly, a constitutional lawyer, national speaker, and a mother of six, singlehandedly built Eagle Forum, an "army" of volunteer activists who engage in public policy issues in every state.

She is author or editor of 20 books on subjects ranging from religious liberty, feminism, education, the family, and the judiciary. Her most recent books are No Higher Power: Obama's War on Religious Freedom (with George Neumayr) (Regnery Publishing, 2012); The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know -- and Men Can't Say (with Suzanne Venker) (WND Books, 2011); and The Supremacists: The Tyranny of Judges and How to Stop It (Spence Publishing, 2004).

Phyllis Schlafly was named as "one of the most important women of the 20th century," by Ladies Home Journal.

"There is no one who comes close to matching the impact that Phyllis Schlafly has had on our country," Delegate Bob Marshall said. "I am honored to receive her endorsement and her confidence. She is truly a role model for every patriot."

Delegate Bob Marshall is running in the Republican "Firehouse Primary" being held on Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at ten polling locations across the 10th Congressional District including parts of Fairfax and Prince William Counties, all of Loudoun, Frederick and Clarke Counties, and the Cities of Manassas, Manassas Park, and Winchester.
