About Nancy French

Nancy French grew up in Paris, Tennessee – home of the World’s Biggest Fish Fry – but has since lived in Center City Philadelphia and the Gramercy Park area of Manhattan.

She began her writing career as a Philadelphia City Paper columnist tackling many subjects with a light, humorous touch; her articles have appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer, the New York Sun, Newsmax, the Philadelphia Daily News, and National Review Online. An alumna of David Lipscomb University and New York University, Nancy now has moved back south, but this time to Columbia, Tennessee – the Mule Capital of the World – where she lives with her husband, writing partner, and co-conspirator David French, and their three children. They attend Zion Presbyterian Church, though they are always about ten minutes late.

She is the author of the new book Home and Away: A Story of Family in a Time of War and Red State of Mind: How a Catfish Queen Reject Became a Liberty Belle. Recently, she collaborated with Bristol Palin on her new memoir, Not Afraid of Life. Nancy is the editor of SixSeeds.tv, a pop culture-focused magazine for parents, as well as a columnist and speaker.

Nancy first heard the name “Mitt Romney” when he (rather heroically!) challenged Ted Kennedy for Senate in 1994. In 2005, she and her husband David decided to support him for President and co-founded the grassroots “Evangelicals for Mitt” with friends. In the summer of 2007, Nancy became involved in a book project with Ann Romney and was later hired as a consultant for the campaign from October until December of 2007. When David was serving his country in Iraq, Nancy was working to get Governor Romney on the primary ballot in her home state of Tennessee. EFM disclosed both developments immediately.

Though EFM has been encouraging voters to support Gov. Romney since 2005, we are excited to be back “on the trail” of support for the candidate who is undoubtedly America’s best choice for 2012.

You guys know I sometimes like to give you a peek inside our inboxes…  and this week it’s not pretty!  Here’s a doozy:

Dear friends:
As with most “evan-jelly-calls” “Evangelicals For Mitt (EFM)” are Biblically and historically illiterate pragmatist fools clearly too ignorant to have Biblical principle who believe whatever garbage they’re told, knowing nothing but warm fuzzies themselves, Mitt’s useful idiots as 1930s lefty loonies were for Stalin.  As a dilettante historian I’ve learned from many years of sore eyes how much research one must do to gain even a small degree of understanding of even events history, much less the far more difficult “big picture” seldom realized
(e.g.
1. how “The “Christian Dark Ages” vs “The Pagan Enlightenment” fraud was perpetrated by zealous lying antiChristian bigots easily able to con the world, and
2. how deranged lying fascist child-molester pervert Kinsey did the same with sodomy in easily

Gov. Romney’s Response to Santorum’s Campaign Suspension

By Nancy French

According to Kathryn Lopez:

Senator Santorum is an able and worthy competitor, and I congratulate him on the campaign he ran. He has proven himself to be an important voice in our party and in the nation.  We both recognize that what is most important is putting the failures of the last three years behind us and setting America back on the path to prosperity.

Weekend Wrap Up

By Nancy French

Hey Friends — here are some articles you may have missed from the weekend.  (Hopefully you were all at church celebrating Easter instead of focusing on the Presidential race!)

AP: GOP superdelegates: It’s over, Romney is nominee:

It’s over, and Mitt Romney is going to be the GOP nominee for president.

That’s the growing consensus among Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the party’s national convention this summer and can support any candidate they choose.

“I would be surprised if Romney doesn’t get the number he needs,” said Jeff Johnson, an RNC member from Minnesota who supports former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Bob Bennett, an RNC member from Ohio, was more blunt.

“Look, Gov. Romney’s going to be the nominee, and he’s going to have enough votes,” said Bennett, who is publicly neutral but said he supported Romney four years ago.

A Poignant Moment for Me

By Nancy French

My daughter Naomi didn’t begin life with many advantages.  She was born in one of the poorest countries and was one of it’s most destitute members. She was as starved as one can be and still survive, weighing only 12 pounds as a two year old toddler.  When we picked her up from the orphanage, she didn’t even own the clothes on her back.

But two years after her adoption, there she was… eating bacon wrapped scallop hors d’oeuvres and – I firmly believe — jumping into the arms of the next President of the United States.

America, the land of opportunity!
