A few weeks ago I wrote a post about the How To Take Back America Conference being held in St. Louis in September. As I wrote then, the event was being hosted by Phyllis Schlafly and Janet Porter and co-hosted by a group including Don Wildmon, Mat Staver, Rick Scarborough, Joseph Farah, and others.
