Palin's online army marches on

While Team Sarah members and other conservative Americans were unable to stop Kathleen Sebelius's appointment as Secretary of Health and Human Services they certainly expressed their opinions to elected Washington, D.C. officials.  This is not the time to sit back and assume someone else will make the call nor is it the time to assume that someone else will take a stand for what is right.  The time is now and the responsibility is yours. 

The Miami Herald headline of "Palin's Arny Marches On" is spot on.  We will continue to march, we will continue to make those calls and we will be in the voting booths in 2010.

WASHINGTON -- In the hours leading up to the Senate's confirmation Tuesday of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as secretary of health and human services, the president's final Cabinet pick had a passive but potent opponent: fellow governor Sarah Palin.

The Republican Alaska governor didn't outright oppose Sebelius, a Democrat whose duties will include overhauling the country's health-care system and overseeing the response to swine flu.

But the Alaska governor also said nothing while her supporters on Team Sarah, a Web site affiliated with an anti-abortion group, worked the phones in an effort to derail Sebelius' nomination because she favors abortion rights. The Senate confirmed Sebelius anyway, 65-31. More

Just Say No to Kathleen Sebelius

I'd like to let the loyal readers of this blog know that there is an important call to action today.  Kathleen Sebelius's nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services is hanging in the balance.  Sen. Sam Brownback is said now to be rethinking his support, Sen. Jim DeMint has joined GOP Chair Michael Steele in calling upon President Obama to withdraw her nomination, Sen. Mitch McConnell is leading a fight against her, and the abortion industry is in a panic to try and rally supporters to contact their Senators.

Stand up for life and let your voice be heard.  Call your Senators - (202) 224-3121 (ask to be transferred to your state senator)

Call Senator Sam Brownback - (202) 224-6521

Urge Senator Brownback to CONTINUE to be a supporter of LIFE!

Latest Complaint Deemed Outrageous

The Office of the Governor today expressed outrage that yet another baseless ethics complaint has been filed as part of an alarming new development in Alaska politics.

“In the past several months, we have seen an orchestrated effort by the governor’s opponents to make differences of opinion and ideology almost criminal,” said Mike Nizich, the governor’s chief of staff. “Governor Palin has spent a considerable amount of time and money fighting ethics complaints – and no charge has been substantiated. I hope that the publicity-seekers will face a backlash from Alaskans who have a sense of fair play and proportion. I served six previous governors, and I’ve never seen anything like the attacks against Governor Palin.” More

Palin, Fundraising Firm Part Ways

Campaign Solutions, a Republican consulting firm advising Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political action committee, has parted ways with the former Republican vice presidential nominee.

The group had been working with the Palin operation to raise money for SarahPAC but decided to step aside after a series of strategic and philosophic differences, according to a source familiar with the decision.  Washington Post Article

Palin Backers Set Up Legal-Defense Fund

Yesterday's official announcement of Governor Palin's legal defense fund has spurred a flurry of articles.  There has been a great deal of anticipation amongst supporters of Sarah Palin for this fund and personally, I am looking forward to the first report announcing the donation amounts to date whether it be for day one, week one or the first month.

Palin Supporters Launch the Alaska Fund Trust

Official legal expense fund to defend against frivolous complaints

WASILLA, AK- Supporters of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today announced the creation of the Alaska Fund Trust.  The trust was formed by Alaskans to help pay for the more than half million dollars of personal legal debt incurred by Palin while performing her duties as Governor.  

 

"Over the past months it became increasingly clear that supporters of Governor Palin needed to help defend against the onslaught of frivolous attacks against her. These baseless accusations are designed to inhibit her ability to focus on the issues Alaskans truly care about and force massive personal debt on her and her family,” said Alaska Fund Trustee Kristan Cole.

 

The Alaska Fund Trust is the only legal fund that Governor Palin gave permission to use her name and likeness. This fund was carefully constructed and will be carefully monitored to ensure that all the terms and conditions are met.

 

“I joined with fellow Alaskans in forming the Alaska Fund Trust to help alleviate the Governor's legal debt incurred while performing her job as well as to eliminate the incentive for future attacks by her opponents. In doing so, we have created one of the most restrictive and transparent legal funds in history," added Cole.

 

The Alaska Fund Trust has numerous self-imposed restrictions including a $150.00 contribution limit and a prohibition on contributions from lobbyists, corporations and unions.  The trust will also be transparent with a voluntary public disclosure of contributors and amounts.

 

For more information regarding the Alaska Fund Trust, including Trust documents, legal explanations, and comparisons to other legal expense funds, please visit www.thealaskafundtrust.com.

When Liberal Women Attack

Just when I think I can no longer be surprised by comments made by far left personalities, I am caught off-guard yet again.  Not only am I surprised but also find myself enraged and laughing all at the same time for their ignorant, uninformed and hateful commentary. 

In the past year we've learned a lot from our liberal femmes.

From Janeane Garofalo, we learned that if you're a female Republican, you're mentally ill.

We've learned from Sandra Bernhard that if you're Sarah Palin, you'd be raped in New York.

Greg Gutfeld sums it all up here.

Palin is a Feminist who Feminists love to hate

As I wrote in an earlier blog, Governor Sarah Palin's heart-felt speech at the Vanderbugh Right to Life Dinner included her own very personal story of learning about her pregnancy at the age of 44 along with the news that the baby she was carrying would be born with Downs Syndrome. 

A commentary article written by Mary Ann Kreitzer for Spero News includes the following:
Sarah Palin describes herself as a pro-life feminist and she certainly is not your average soccer mom. Her career choices have put her smack dab up against the so-called glass ceiling and she's shattered a few at the local level. One would expect the feminist movement to extoll a self-made woman who has combined career and family and seems to do well at both....
