Former beauty queen Carrie Prejean has been included in the fifth annual Great American Conservative Women Calendar.The Clare Both Luce Policy Institute, which is a conservative women’s group based outside of Washington, DC, recently released the 2010 calendar, which features top women leaders in the Conservative Movement.
“I was so honoured to be in the calendar as one of the great American conservative women. As a former beauty queen, it’s refreshing to be taken seriously,” said Carrie.
Prejean, 22, also spoke about her desire for young conservative women to become leaders on campus.
“It’s so important for young women on college campuses to feel comfortable standing up for their conservative ideas. Conservative women need to be vocal in the public, and get involved in the media,” she said.
“I hope to have encouraged, and inspired other conservative women out there to not hold back, engage in intelligent discussions, stand up for what you believe in, and get involved. We cannot see a change if we don’t start with ourselves,” she added.
The calendar also features other notable conservative women including Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, and Rep. Michele Bachmann.
