MONTGOMERY – The Alabama Federation of Republican Women will hold a news conference Thursday to publicly call on the Alabama Democratic Party to cancel their upcoming fundraiser with offensive TV personality Bill Maher. Elois Zeanah, President of the AFRW will speak as well as Valerie Askew, State Director of the Concerned Women for America. Other speakers include State Representative Becky Nordgren and Dr. Gina Loudon.
The Alabama Democrat Party has promoted an upcoming fundraising event featuring Maher scheduled for Saturday, March 17. The event features a “Chairman’s Reception”, with tickets selling for $100 per head.
Even though Maher has drawn criticism for his hate-filled, misogynistic comments toward women, the Democratic Part has yet to cancel the event. Conservative women and members of the Alabama Federation of Republican Women from across the state will join together in demanding respect from the state Democrat party, insisting that they cancel the event immediately.
