<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks to a thoughtful friend, I had the opportunity to speak briefly with Sarah and her husband Todd last evening, after she gave an incredible keynote speech at this year's CPAC. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've attended several events to hear Sarah speak, but am always very cautious not to appear like some sort of fangirl, so I tend to stay out of the way and watch from afar while others rush her for that perfect photo op. This was not that kind of setting, and I fought back tears as I simply tried to say thank you, smile and move along so that others could have the same opportunity. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've often said I'd love the chance to just sit and visit with Sarah. I know we'd have much in common, and much to discuss. She's one in a million, but what makes her that 'one in a million' isn't that she's got gifts the rest of us don't have. Quite the contrary. The thing that makes Sarah special is that she is the one that's bold enough to say and do what others refuse to do. This is exactly what inspired me in 2008 when I first heard of the little known Governor of Alaska who was about to rock the world. Or, at least my world. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've often shared bits of my own story here, but as I stood there tonight trying to explain to my friend why this meeting she arranged was so special to me, I found myself overwhelmed with gratitude. I began to shy away from blogging exclusively about Sarah not long after the 2008 election because I began to see some who followed her politics behave more like groupies than citizen journalists. While this may or may not have been the case, I felt like she had been so mistreated by the media that I was somehow adding to that by continuing to put her under such a microscope, so I backed off and began writing for Smart Girl Politics and pursuing other activities where I felt I could be more useful. In no way did I think she was less effective, I honestly personally felt like I should just leave her alone for a while. And so I did. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hearing her tonight reminded me why I was so moved by Sarah's story in the first place. Hers isn't so different than many across this nation, she's the wife of a wonderful hard working hubby, she's got five lovely children, she's a Christian, she loves the outdoors, she isn't afraid of guns, she saw a need in her community...the difference between Sarah and the rest of us is that once she saw that need, she stepped up and did something about it. The rest is history. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>I wonder if she has any idea what an impact she's had on both men and women across this nation? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I began to hear Rush Limbaugh talk about Sarah just before Senator McCain announced that she would be joining the McCain ticket for President. I remember flipping channels the day he was supposed to make his announcement, and by that time, word was pretty much gospel that she would be joining the ticket. To say that the mainstream media lost their minds is a gross understatement. They went absolutely nuts. I remember yelling at the television, and beginning to do google searches on some of the crazy stuff they were spewing. It took almost no effort whatsoever for me to discover that, as I suspected, it was all lies. I kept telling the hubby that I had to do something. Anything. He suggested I do the thing I love to do most - write. And so I did. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I began blogging sometimes multiple times daily, depending on the news of the day. I decided that even if I only reached three people with the truth about Sarah, and conservatism, that was okay. I asked God to bless my efforts, I gave the blog a name and I started writing. Only a few weeks would pass before the local newspaper discovered my blog...only a few more weeks before a cable news network picked it up, and I got to experience a taste of what hate mail and harassment is all about. I always wondered what it must be like for her if a mommy blogger like me received such treatment. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The loss in 2008 was devastating, and the loss four years later was no less devastating. The battle we continue to wage is no less important...in fact, it may be more important today than it has ever been. I believe it was Ben Carson who challenged the CPAC audience yesterday by saying that no, there isn't a George Washington or an Abraham Lincoln in America today...but there is you. And me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What Sarah taught me more than five years ago is that I, too, can make a difference. My voice may never reach the national stage like hers did, but I can make an enormous difference in my own community, in my own circle of influence. When I started, I knew virtually nothing about politics, and here I am today having researched and learned, blogged about politics for years, worked as a political consultant, editor and new media director, all the while influencing my 15-year-old photography-loving daughter to do the same. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thank you hardly seems like enough to say to Sarah. Those two words hold more meaning than I could express in a mere minute or two meeting...but I sincerely hope that, by inspiring others, I can pay forward all that she's done for me. In many ways, I feel like Sarah - by being her bold, bad self - gave me my wings and taught me how to fly. That may sound a bit corny - ok, it sounds a lot corny<span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">, but few women in my life aside from my sweet mother have had the impact on my life that Sarah has. I am feeling incredibly grateful and deeply humbled tonight. </span></span><br />

Her remarks follow a visit to Jerusalem by Prime Minister Harper and his wife Laureen on Sunday, during which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called him a “great friend of Israel”.</div>

“He has strongly opposed attempts to delegitimize the State of Israel,” continued Netanyahu, “and has taken a praiseworthy moral stand against these attempts.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
According to a <a class="external" href="http://www.breakingchristiannews.com/articles/display_art.html?ID=13189" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none !important; transition: 0.2s;" target="_blank">CBN news report</a>, Canadian Prime Minister Harper has consistently “supported Israel in every military operation” since he took office in 2006.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Palin continued her Facebook message by encouraging followers to hold the mainstream media accountable when they get distracted by the likes of a Seattle Seahawk Cornerback gone mad on national television.”…its priorities in coverage perhaps distract from REAL issues that actually affect your life. Hold government accountable. Let’s do our own homework in order to know how the actions of leaders worldwide impact America. And thank you, friends to (my) East! It’s wise and prudent for Canada and America to stand together against evil that would seek to destroy Israel.”</div>

Remember Dan Savage, the openly gay anti-bullying advocate who lit into high school students at a <a class="external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao0k9qDsOvs" rel="nofollow" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none !important;" target="_blank">national high school journalism conference</a> with a profanity laced, anti-Christian rant in the spring of 2012?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Remember when he called the one hundred or so students who walked out on him during that rant “pansy-a**es”, and then that very next week was chosen by the <a class="external" href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/04/29/Obama-Administration-Dan-Savage" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none !important; transition: 0.2s;" target="_blank">Obama White House</a> to head their anti-bullying campaign?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Thanks to a <a class="external" href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2014/01/17/dan-savage-wanted-sarah-palin-choke-her-christmas-pastry" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none !important; transition: 0.2s;" target="_blank">Newsbusters article</a> last week, we learned that the very same Dan Savage recently wrote a <a class="external" href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/good-grief-and-great-tits/Content?oid=18503580" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none !important; transition: 0.2s;" target="_blank">review</a> on Sarah Palin’s latest release “Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas.”<i> </i>Except, he didn’t actually read the book – not the entire thing, anyway. His reason? Well, I’m sure there were many, but the primary one he cites over and over is that Sarah Palin didn’t actually write the entire book. How he would know this, I’m not entirely sure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Within a few sentences, the anti-bullying advocate immediately began trashing Mr. and Mrs. Heath, Sarah’s parents. It will come as no surprise that profanity and whining ensued, calling Sarah the “mother of all rightwing trolls.” Savage’s fear of weapons quickly became evident as he complained about Sarah’s gift of a “nice, needed, powerful gun” for Todd, even rolling out the Newtown shooting as an example to complete his anti-gun rant. Because we all know Sarah was single-handedly responsible for that horrific event. </div>

The channel <a class="external" href="http://www.thesportsmanchannel.com/newsandevents/pressroom/news.php?ID=932" rel="nofollow" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none !important;" target="_blank">announced</a> early last month that the former Governor of Alaska, and 2008 Republican Vice Presidential candidate will join the team in April as host of the weekly original series “Amazing America”.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Dubbed the “First Lady of the Outdoors” by Gavin Harvey, CEO of Sportsman Channel, Governor Palin will take viewers on a “coast-to-coast” journey through “Red, Wild and Blue America” showcasing “some of the most original, interesting – and sometimes inspiring – people, places, and pastimes connected to America’s outdoor lifestyle”.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Given her love for the outdoors, the passion she and her husband Todd share for hunting and fishing, and the fact that she’s spent much time traveling all over the United States in recent years, I can’t think of a better host to attract viewers to the all-American outdoor channel.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It seems Sarah is particularly hopeful the show will motivate young ladies to step outdoors. “I’m especially encouraged to have opportunities to empower young women to get outdoors, be self-sufficient, and work extremely hard so they can live life vibrantly,” Sarah told her <a class="external" href="https://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin/posts/10152154002053588" rel="nofollow" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none !important;" target="_blank">Facebook</a> followers earlier this week. “See, I’m convinced the world will be a better place,” she continued, “when we have more girls holding fish in pictures and fewer holding selfie cameras in front of the bathroom mirror.”</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">As you may have heard, Sarah Palin isn't being given a speaking slot at the Republican National convention. Not only is Sarah Palin the single most prominent woman in the Republican party, a strong advocate of the Tea Party, and an electrifying speaker, she was the also VP candidate in 2008 and was one of the biggest impact players for the Republican Party during the 2010 elections. Not only does Sarah Palin deserve an opportunity to speak, she would be a tremendous asset at the convention. <a href="http://www.rightwingnews.com/special/let-sarah-speak-do-your-part-to-help-sarah-palin-get-a-speaking-slot-at-the-republican-convention/">Read the rest here.</a></span></blockquote>

And that is not cool.<br />
<br />
Liberals, given the opportunity, tend to be the gift that keeps on giving. Hilary Rosen, an advisor to the always lovely DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, proved yesterday that she is no exception when she claimed that Ann Romney--stay at home mother of five boys and sixteen grand babies--has "never worked a day in her life". This ignited a firestorm and, as <a href="http://www.michellemalkin.com/">Michelle Malkin</a> pointed out on Twitter, Rosen managed to do something the GOP couldn't do: unite the right behind Romney.<br />
<br />
Most, on both sides of the aisle, rushed to the nearest microphone and denounced what Rosen proclaimed. However, it seems that new "tone" the President called for only really applies to...well...Republicans. The tone coming from the left on this issue? On twitter, it's repulsive. Twitchy has done an excellent job of compiling just a few of those nuggets of toned down rhetoric from the left. <a href="http://twitchy.com/2012/04/12/new-tone-alert-libs-attack-ann-romney-as-cunt-bitch-whore/">Check it out.</a> (language alert)<br />
<br />
Now, I don't know about you, but this whole controversy makes my blood boil. And, while the left is calling this outrage "trumped up" and "phony", I can assure you with a great deal of certainty, it's not. And it's not going away. Salon's Joan Walsh, in an<a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/04/12/michael-steele-schools-joan-walsh-romney-rosen-dustup-stay-home-moms-"> interview</a> yesterday on MSNBC, claimed that only rich women stay at home with their children. Apparently Joan doesn't get out much.<br />
<br />
I'm a middle class mother who, until two years ago, stayed at home with our children. When they were old enough to go to school, my husband and I chose for me to go to work part time so that I could supplement our income and pay for them to attend a private school. Every penny I make goes right to the school bill. I never see a dime of it. In doing our taxes this year, we discovered that we are, in fact, spending about triple what I make on gas expenses, and in taxes, therefore making my being away from the home front so much a complete waste of time in terms of earnings. THIS I can thank the Obama administration for.<br />
<br />
When our children were born, I worked a lucrative, full time job. The decision for me to stay home with our children wasn't a hard one, it simply meant sacrifices would be made. Did we feel others were wrong for making a different choice? No, it's a very personal choice, and frankly, it's not one every woman can handle. For us, the decision was made that I would be the one to stay home and provide care for our children rather than sending them off to daycare to spend most of the day being cared for by someone else. I've worked a lot of jobs in my lifetime, including waitressing, and janitorial work...nothing was as difficult as being a stay at home mother. The job never ends, there is never a vacation or a day off. But, it was also the most rewarding job I've ever had...because it wasn't a "job" at all. You see, I don't see caring for my family as "work", just like I didn't see having children as a burden. They are a joy, and a gift to be treasured. I count myself very blessed, having been given the great honor of spending time at home raising our babies while my husband was hard at work, providing for our family.<br />
<br />
Mitt and Ann Romney are very blessed. They have worked hard for all of their lives to have the income that has afforded them the nicer things in life. That's the beauty of America. Not only did Romney stay at home and raise five boys, she also survived breast cancer, and suffers with MS. I'm sure it wasn't easy, and because of her limitations, she very well may have had someone to do the cleaning for her. Who cares? Just because you or I don't have the wealth that the Romney's enjoy, does that make them any less deserving? Does Mrs. Romney having someone to do the cleaning suddenly make her an unfit stay-at-home mom? I know several people with five boys, and I can assure you that every waking moment was probably spent keeping up with the boys while barely having enough time to even take a shower! I, for one, admire her for it.<br />
<br />
Look, the thing we're arguing about here really boils down to freedom. Why is it that liberals always feel the need to criticize those who CHOOSE family over career? If the right to choose is so important, then why isn't my right to choose included? It's my body, and my life, after all. Shouldn't I get to choose life, and my version of a "career"?<br />
<br />
It's food for thought, my friends. They're inching away at our freedoms, and doing all they can to make what used to be an honorable "profession" in America, one just for the nut cases. Ladies, it is time to awaken that sleeping giant within you and begin to fight for those babies you've worked so hard to take care of. Because one day, your freedom to stay at home and raise them yourself may be stripped away...and you may find that you, and millions more just like you, could have simply taken your babies with you to the voting booth and cast a vote that would have made a significant difference.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Monday, December 5, <a data-cke-saved-href="http://mcmorris.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=96&itemid=2005" href="http://mcmorris.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=96&itemid=2005" style="color: #d6156c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers</a> hosted the first ever GOP Women’s CEO Panel on Jobs and the Economy. Joined by six of her female Congressional colleagues and six of the nation’s most prominent female CEO’s, the discussion centered around what Congress can do to help job creators get back to doing what they do best--creating jobs. </span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">“America stands at an unprecedented crossroads,” said McMorris Rodgers in her opening remarks. “It’s been 34 consecutive months of unemployment above eight percent and the U.S. debt has now hit a record $15 trillion. We’re here today, as CEO’s and members of Congress alike, to say that we refuse to watch those numbers rise. We’re here to shed light on the effects current economic policies and government regulation have had on people who have experienced it the most.”</span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The discussion began with Dr. Alison Brown, of NAVSYS Corporation, who quickly pointed out that the policies of the current administration have not helped small businesses be competitive in the particular market in which her business operates--competing for contracts with the Department of Defense. She became the first to point out that restrictive regulations and economic uncertainty are choking the life out of small businesses in the United States. "The worst case scenario for the country," Dr. Brown expressed, "is the 'no plan' situation that now exists." Every panelist confirmed and reiterated the points raised by Dr. Brown. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">One of the most interesting parts of the entire afternoon, however, was when Lisa Hook, of Neustar, Inc. began discussing the needs of her particular industry (tech), and highlighted some areas of opportunity where education is concerned. “We are not, in this country, training our kids in S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). That effects not only our company...it effects the growth of the tech sector, it effects our world competitiveness, and at the end of the day it effects our national security." She went on to cite some troubling statistics. "By 2018, there will be 1.4 million computing job openings in the United States, but at the current graduation rates, only 29% of those jobs will be filled by U.S. computing graduates. The rest of those jobs will have to be filled by very qualified folks, but folks that we will have to import to the country." Janet Trautwein, National Association of Health Underwriters CEO, later added that she is finding it increasingly difficult to find applicants who have adequate writing and speaking abilities. So, while the discussion centered primarily around the role Congress needs to play in helping Americans get back to work, some vital points were raised regarding the need for preparing our children for tomorrow's job opportunities. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">On the President's Web site on Friday, you were able to save 10% on merchandise by using this code: <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/">10%TurkeyDay</a>.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"> Call me nit-picky, but the sale--while it was a "Turkey Day" sale--was posted on Friday, missing Thanksgiving by a day. (perhaps it couldn't be called a "Black Friday" sale because the country is in the red so deep) Just sayin'. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">If you take a look at the <a href="http://store.barackobama.com/?p=1&utm_campaign=CouponBOTW20111125&utm_medium=TW&utm_source=BO&utm_term=20111125">front page on the merchandise site</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">, you'll notice that 2012 sticker in the header photo is attached to a Ford Focus. Funny, wasn't Ford the only company that didn't take bailout money?</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><a href="http://store.barackobama.com/accessories.html?p=2">Rhodium ball and glass ornaments</a> are offered, but Christmas ornaments are never mentioned on the site...today, however, he <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/BarackObama">tweeted</a> an advertisement for Christmas ornaments. (I'm sure, to the disappointment of many constituents) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">A <a href="http://store.barackobama.com/accessories.html?p=2">cutting board</a> is offered, but he seems incapable of cutting the least bit of spending. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><a href="http://store.barackobama.com/accessories/made-in-the-usa-mug.html">Birth certificate mugs</a> that say "Made in the U.S.A." are offered...as my friend put it, it's just a tad ostentatious, don't you think?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">He <i>has</i> done you a favor and offered <i>one</i> product that showcases the American flag, so if you'd like to own your very own tee with the President against a flag backdrop, <a href="http://store.barackobama.com/clothing/flag-t.html">see this link</a>. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And, if all of these items don't quite suit your fancy, you may <a href="https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/o2012-dinner-with-barack-nov-watch-nd?source=hompage-cta-112211">follow this link</a>, donate and enter a drawing to have dinner with the President. Watch the video, I think you'll find it quite...interesting. </span><br />

It seems the media is fascinated by the continued interest those of us who are Sarah Palin supporters still have in politics! (<i>who knew??</i>)<br />

I wanted to repost here for my readers:<br />
<br />
Today, Americans from all walks of life will unite to bring <strong>Grizzly Fest 2011</strong>, the first event of its kind, to a computer near you.<br />
<br />
You can be sure that the liberal left and, let’s be honest, the Republican establishment, are scratching their heads in disbelief trying to figure out what in the world it is about Sarah Palin that inspires such enthusiasm within the conservative movement. And, just when they thought Sarah and her supporters were finally going to go away, here we are again. More enthusiastic than ever.<br />
<br />
It’s remarkable, really. There’s no way to put a label on exactly who it is that supports Sarah. There are certainly those within conservative politics who are willing to voice strong support, but beyond that, the descriptions run the gamut. The <a href="http://grizzlyfest.com/speakers/">panelists</a> for <strong>Grizzly Fest 2011</strong> are a perfect example--their experience is as varied as the audience to which they will be speaking. What has most fascinated me over the last few years, however, are both the blogs and the organizations that were started either directly, or indirectly, as a result of the passion of one woman who decided it was time for her to make a difference.<br />
<br />
<em>And make a difference she did.</em><br />
<br />
So, what is it about Sarah Palin that caused moms and young people alike to finally stand up and take notice? Was it the clothes? I mean, shocking as it is to many on the left, the lady can rock a dress like nobody you’ve ever seen. Or, maybe it’s the fact that she’s been married to the same man all these years, and that together, they’ve had <em>five</em> kids. Or, perhaps it’s the fact that she is one tough chick, what with all the running, fishing, and caribou hunting...I joke, but I hope you get the point. The liberal left like to paint the support of Sarah as some sort of fad, a sort of celebrity worship, and you and I both know that couldn’t be further from reality.<br />
<br />
When I first heard about Sarah Palin, I was standing in my kitchen doing dishes, listening to Rush Limbaugh. I was your average informed conservative wife and mother, largely uninvolved in politics other than my annual trip to the voting booth. Rush mentioned that he’d heard Sarah was being considered for Vice President, and spoke highly of her. That was sometime mid-summer 2008, and while I liked the prospect of a female VP, I never thought it would happen. It wasn’t until the morning of August 29, 2008 that I began to think all that seriously about the little known Governor from Alaska. As I watched the news reports, I heard the mainstream media talk about this woman like she was the devil himself, and it puzzled me. Everything I’d heard, which admittedly wasn't much, had been extremely positive. She started her political career at the very bottom, and with a lot of hard work, determination, and willingness to do the right thing, she had risen to the top spot in her state--with support from both sides of the aisle. (let’s face it folks, that’s not an easy task these days)<br />
<br />
Later that afternoon, Senator John McCain did, indeed, announce that Sarah was his choice for the coveted spot, and with that announcement, the liberal left lost their minds. No, seriously, they came completely unglued.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://grizzlyfest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/moms-4-sarah-palin.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="75" src="http://grizzlyfest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/moms-4-sarah-palin.png" title="moms 4 sarah palin" width="320" /></a><em>And that is when this conservative mom woke up. </em></div>I decided to start a blog, and as I logged onto blogger and typed my title, I prayed. <em>God, I haven't the slightest clue what to say, but I just want you to use me to make a difference. </em>I decided that day that I would never again be afraid to take a stand. <a href="http://www.moms4sarahpalin.net/"> Moms 4 Sarah Palin</a> became a place where I could not only inform others about Governor Palin, but also defend her against relentless media attacks, educate women on the issues, and inform my readers about the principles of conservatism.<br />
<br />
Three years later, I continue to hear story after story just like mine, and while I have no doubt that I would’ve been inspired by Sarah Palin’s life story regardless of the behavior of the mainstream media, they certainly were instrumental in speeding up the process. What is it about Sarah that inspires such passion, on both sides of the political spectrum?<br />
<br />
<em>She's the real deal.</em><br />
<br />
Over and over throughout her political life, Sarah has taken a stand for what is right, regardless of popular opinion. She's genuine, she believes deeply in the cause for which she's fighting, and because of that, is tireless in her effort. I believe, in addition to her strong stand on Constitutional conservative principles, this is why so many have been inspired by Sarah and seek to follow her example.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://grizzlyfest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Logo.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="94" src="http://grizzlyfest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Logo.png" title="Logo" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">In the weeks and months that followed Senator McCain's announcement, support for the team began to come from the most unlikely places. Blogs like mine were created, in many cases by people who were completely unfamiliar with social media (and in some cases, even politics)--ordinary Americans of all ages were inspired to do something extraordinary. They came together in unprecedented numbers and a true grassroots movement was born. Organizations were created either in direct support of Sarah, or because they were inspired by Sarah--one such organization is <a href="http://www.sgpaction.com/">Smart Girl Politics</a>. Stacy Mott, founder of SGPA, refers to herself as a 9/11 conservative. Before the horrific attacks on 09/11/01, Stacy was a Democrat. Her first real involvement in politics was in 2004. By 2008, she had developed a great desire to get involved, but because she was mommy to very small children, blogging became her only real option. In June 2008, Smart Girl Politics--the blog--was created. After the election, inspired by what she'd witnessed over the course of the previous months, Stacy decided to put a help-wanted sign on her blog. She announced that she'd like to create a place for other conservative women to discuss politics and conservatism, and within a week, 60 women answered the call. In December 2008, Stacy and co-founder Teri Christoph formed what is now known as <a href="http://sgpaction.com/">Smart Girl Politics Action</a>. Today, SGP is one of the fastest growing premier social networks for conservative women in the country. They are a national organization providing<em> local</em> support to their membership, with a united voice that now exceeds 40,000 women.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">When the McCain/Palin team lost the election in 2008, many thought it would be the death of support for Sarah Palin, and that she'd go back to her Wasilla home and leave politics to the big boys. They were dead wrong.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><em>So, what now?</em></div><div style="text-align: left;"><em><br />
</em></div><div style="text-align: left;">That is what <strong>Grizzly Fest 2011</strong> is all about. Sarah isn't running for President in 2012, but that doesn't mean that the cause for which we were inspired to fight has gone away. We have a President in the White House who is fundamentally changing the very fabric of our nation, and it is up to us to stand strong, and continue to follow Sarah's example. Sarah's not finished, she's just getting started...and so are we.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>Game ON. </strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><br />

"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." <br />
<br />
It is because of this challenge that <a href="http://www.grizzlyfest.com/">Grizzly Fest 2011</a> 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 <a href="http://tammybruce.com/">Tammy Bruce</a>, <a href="http://jedediahbila.com/">Jedediah Bila</a>, and <a href="http://texansforsarahpalin.blogspot.com/">Josh Painter</a> 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."

While I am disappointed, I am not shocked. I deeply respect the decision she and her family have made, and will be excited to see what lies ahead for the Governor. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sarah has released the following statement on <a href="http://www.sarahpac.com/">SarahPAC</a>:</span><br />
<table align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" border="0" cellpadding="50" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'American Typewriter'; width: 600px;"><tbody>
<tr><td><div style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">October 5, 2011</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wasilla, Alaska</span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office - from the nation's governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency. 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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">From the bottom of my heart I thank those who have supported me and defended my record throughout the years, and encouraged me to run for President. Know that by working together we can bring this country back - and as I've always said, one doesn't need a title to help do it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I will continue driving the discussion for freedom and free markets, including in the race for President where our candidates must embrace immediate action toward energy independence through domestic resource developments of conventional energy sources, along with renewables. We must reduce tax burdens and onerous regulations that kill American industry, and our candidates must always push to minimize government to strengthen the economy and allow the private sector to create jobs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Those will be our priorities so Americans can be confident that a smaller, smarter government that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people can better serve this most exceptional nation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">In the coming weeks I will help coordinate strategies to assist in replacing the President, re-taking the Senate, and maintaining the House.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Thank you again for all your support. Let's unite to restore this country!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">God bless America.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">- Sarah Palin</span></td></tr>

Add that to the growing concern over the pending U.S. troop withdrawal and the effect it could have on the women and children of Afghanistan, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how volatile the situation is. “Afghanistan is at that delicate moment in the development of a free society,” said Laura Bush in an article she wrote for The Hill in June, “when the weight of its new institutions will either shift toward a free future or back toward an oppressive past. And whether it continues to protect and expand human rights could determine in which direction the country goes.”<a href="http://issuu.com/smartgirlpolitics/docs/september2011/6">...Read the rest here.</a> </span></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer">Please visit http://www.moms4sarahpalin.blogspot.com for the full post.</div>Tamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01347932842154515002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842407012581681991.post-40705071829722569622011-09-26T21:02:00.002-04:002011-09-26T21:04:33.206-04:00Sarah Palin Threatens to Sue ‘Rogue’ Book Publisher<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">by Shushanna Walsh and Jonathan Karl</span><br />
