Join me at GrizzlyFest 2011

In case you haven't heard, there's quite an event taking place this Saturday, right here on Al Gore's amazing internet, and I'm honored to participate, representing Smart Girl Politics. Grizzly Fest 2011 was created by a team of dedicated supporters of former Governor Sarah Palin who wish to follow through with Sarah's challenge during her October 5th announcement that she would not be running for President in 2012. "We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the 'fundamental transformation' of our nation, and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law."

It is because of this challenge that Grizzly Fest 2011 will take place this Saturday, October 29th. Representatives from a number of different sources, including yours truly and many other Palin bloggers, will gather to discuss how we can move forward most effectively. I'll be joining Tammy Bruce, Jedediah Bila, and Josh Painter to discuss "the historic nature of the Palin movement, both in the blogosphere and in organizing...the impact Palin supporters had on the historic 2010 midterms....and what potential we have to make a difference in 2012." I strongly encourage you to register and take part in this historic event.
