page.)
Suzanne is a regular contributor at National Review Online, in the Home Front section, and a former contributor at David Horowitz's NewsRealBlog — where she wrote about the Left's effect on the American family. You can access those posts here. Suzanne also had a personal blog for a year and a half called No Bull Mom. You can access those archives here. Today she writes guest commentary for various publications but spends the bulk of her work time writing books.

She has lectured or debated on at least 500 college campuses.
Phyllis is the author or editor of 20 books on subjects as varied as politics (A Choice Not an Echo, which sold 3 million copies), family and feminism, the judiciary, education, child care, nuclear strategy (five books), and phonics textbooks. Her newsletter, The Phyllis Schlafly Report, has been published monthly since 1967. Her weekly newspaper column (distributed by Creators Syndicate) appears in 100 newspapers, her radio commentaries are heard daily on 500 stations, and her radio talk show is heard weekly on 90 stations.
