Title: IWF Announces New Center for Energy and Conservation
Topic: Affordable and Reliable Energy
Discussed by Mandy Gunasekara
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)
Part 1 of 2
Too many Americans believe fossil fuels are bad and we have destroyed Mother Earth.
“Our country is blessed with the resources and the innovative spirit to build a better environmental future. This does not require banning gas stoves, shutting down the fossil fuel industry, or villainizing hard-working Americans.” – Mandy Gunasekara, CEC
Mandy Gunasekara is a Senior Policy Analyst at Independent Women’s Forum. She is a veteran Republican climate and energy strategist, communicator, and environmental attorney. Today, Mandy discusses the need for abundant, reliable, affordable energy and the IWF’s new
Center for Energy and Conservation.

Questions/Issues Discussed:
How is the current health, life expectancy, and prosperity of the average American today compared to the early 1900s? Do most Americans have more leisure time, as well?
Has abundant, affordable energy made the lives of women easier? Mandy says: “Think about everything you use to go about your day and helping your family…the energy systems make that possible.”

Title: Part 2 of 2 - IWF Announces New Center for Energy and Conservation
Topic: Affordable and Reliable Energy
Discussed by Mandy Gunasekara
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Do all Americans have a right to abundant, affordable energy?
Do we have the technology to produce all the electricity we need 24/7/365 from
wind and solar? Nope – even with the growth of nuclear, solar,
and wind energy. Mandy goes on to explain why we still need to rely on coal,
oil, and natural gas for the majority of our energy.
Do polls show Americans want cleaner air and water, but are unwilling to pay
more for it?
Can we have conservation while producing new oil, gas, and coal reserves? Mandy
believes the government just needs to butt out and stop making mandates. She
says: “When we start getting into the business of the Federal Government
deciding what technologies and businesses they are going to allow to exist in
the future, it creates so many unnecessary consequences. And, in many instances,
it can even undermine the environmental success that we’ve already had to date.”

have a bearing on their earnings in the short-term and long-term? Patrice says:
“The school counselors and college counselors are not telling [people] this!”
She goes to share what females should be taught from a young age about career
flexibility and benefits when they choose a career.

Title: Why School Choice?
Topic: School Choice
Discussed by Ginny Gentles
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)
COVID-19 revealed many issues with the public education system in
America. More and more parents are choosing to either home-educate or move their
child/children to private schools. Should funding follow the student or the
inadequate, failed systems?
Ginny Gentles is the Director of the Education Freedom Center at the
Independent Women’s Forum. Ginny is a former state and federal
education policy leader. Today she discusses failing US student test scores,
radicalized lesson plans, and the importance of school choice for all.

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why does Ginny advocate for school choice?
Are current US test scores sobering? Ginny reveals some startling information…
Is locking all students into a failing system a travesty? Ginny believes it has
been a travesty for decades, especially for children with learning and physical
differences who would benefit greatly from a localized learning environment.
Can the failed system make a positive and successful come-back?
Are public schools too focused on divisive content and activist-drafted lesson
plans? Ginny urges parents to help teachers who do not agree with these radical
agendas to fight back against the woke education crowd.
Until the system is turned around, should more parents consider alternatives to
public education?

She recently wrote: “Ever since the world began slowly reopening from pandemic lockdowns, climate activists have been calling for a

Part 1 of 2
Five bullets fired from a .38 revolver weren’t enough for a Georgia mother of
two to stop one intruder in a home invasion. What if there had been more
attackers?
The mother and her children would be dead; a man would be without his
wife and children. Anne Rittgers, a Senior Fellow at CWFA and mother of 2, says:
“Any executive action by President Obama to restrict guns will drastically limit
women’s capability to fight back against attackers and protect herself and her

The Independent Women's Forum is on a mission to expand the conservative
coalition, both by increasing the number of women who understand and value the
benefits of limited government, personal liberty, and free markets, and by
countering those who seek to ever-expand government in the name of protecting
women. IWF is a non-partisan, 501(c)(3) research and educational institution. By
aggressively seeking earned media, providing easy-to-read, timely publications
and commentary, and reaching out to the public, we seek to cultivate support for
these important principles and encourage women to join us in working to return

Is there a wage gap? Will it ever be solved? What was
the 72% discrepancy that was quoted in the second presidential debate? As whole,
do women who work "full-time" actually work less than men who work "full-time"?

"On many measure, women-particularly young women-are doing far better than men.
They are more educated, more optimistic and motivated about the future, and have
longer life expectancies and better health than men."

Topic: Old Topic - 2012 Republican Presidential Candidates
Discussed by Charlotte Hays
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)
Should Candidate Herman Cain’s surprising upset win in the recent Florida straw poll be dismissed with a few chuckles?
Historically, the winner of this straw poll has gone on to win the GOP nomination.
Cain received 37%, Perry 15%, Romney received 14%. Was this a fluke or a true reflection of what will happen?

Title: Do Unions Fail Women?
Topic: Unions Fail Women
Discussed by Carrie Lukas
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)
Carrie Lukas, Managing Director with the Independent Women’s Forum, makes a bold statement: Unions fail women today. Do you agree?
Do unions prevent flex-time, part-time, and tele-commuters? Should unions represent these modern workers?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, less than 12 percent of American workers now belong to a union – down from 20 percent in 1983. More than half of union workers are now government employees. So, when union bosses negotiate with elected officials, are they trading votes for higher pay and better benefits at the expense of the taxpayers? Send us your comments.

Salt. Salt is bad. Cut down on your salt intake, but now, studies show that
cutting down on your salt intake may not have that big of an effect on your

Title: Grocery Cart Economics
Topic: Ethanol
Discussed by Anna Rittgers
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)
What has caused the reduction in corn supply for food stuffs?
About 40% of
the nation’s corn harvest goes to ethanol production. That means that the supply
of corn available for food was already relatively small even before this year’s
bad weather.
Anna also discusses the decreased gas mileage with the usage of ethanol as a
gasoline additive. Since ethanol wasn’t going to make it in a free market,
Congress decided to interfere and directly encourage domestic ethanol production
way back in 1978. The U.S. Senate recently voted to allow the ethanol blender
credit and import tariff to expire at the end of this year. Congress should take
serious action and end ethanol subsidies.

with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)
The White House is
trumpeting its newly released report on “Women in America” as the first
comprehensive federal report on women since 1963, though much of it seems a
reiteration of the National Economic Council’s report from just a few months
ago. The new report does detail the gains women have made in
education and in the workforce, but repeats misleading statistics about women
earning 75 cents of each dollar earned by men. The report does NOT provide the
context for how personal choices drive certain statistics. One aspect of the
report which should be studied by all teenagers, especially females: women tend
to have higher poverty rates. Could babies having babies out of wedlock have
anything to do with this fact?

Title: Return to sender, the slow death of the Postal Service
Topic: Government Spending
Discussed by Nicki Neily
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)
Being a government-run enterprise is both a blessing and a curse. Sure, there are a lot of advantages inherent in being a government-run enterprise, but also a lot of strings that come attached as well. The Postal Service is not only a rare privileged monopoly; it is an even rarer money-losing monopoly because of politically imposed inefficiencies. Nicki Kurokawa analyzes the Post Office.
Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution states that one of the specific powers of Congress is "To establish Post Offices and Post Roads." Unfortunately, if
Congress can't successfully do the things it's actually empowered to do, how can
we be expected to trust them when they overstep their bounds?

Discussed by Carrie Lukas

Instead of chivalry and courtship, college relationships are more often nothing more than awkward drunken make-out sessions. Carrie Lukas, with the Independent Women’s Forum, www.IWF.org, encourages everyone to pray for their children and grandchildren. Terry Lowry, our host, encourages everyone to live a ‘pure life’.
