It was a beautiful memorial service for Chris
Kyle at Cowboys Stadium this afternoon. What a celebration of a great
life! All in all, is there a finer human being who has crossed the
50-yard line star in Texas than Chris Kyle? Please click on
the following link for information on how we can help out the families
of Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield. As patriotic Americans, this is a
tangible way to show appreciation and support for good people. On a
personal note, I thank you who've sent birthday greetings today, and it
would be awesome if you'd join me in supporting the families of these
heroes by helping them out!

Palin then shared a link to Bristol's Blog which provides additional information on the organizations handling the donations.
Sarah Palin posted a link on her Facebook page leading to Bristol's Blog in order to encourage her readers to learn more about the plight of an American pastor in Iran. Saeed Abedini is a Christian who has been sentenced to prison for his faith.
A few weeks ago my mom tweeted about an American pastor named Saeed
Abedini being held and tortured by the radical Iranian regime. He’s been sentenced to eight years in Iran’s most brutal prison simply because of his Christian faith.
This
pastor and father has shown enormous courage, but now Iranians are
lying to him in prison — telling him that Americans have forgotten about
him.
Yesterday was Save Saeed day, and Christian and country
musicians across the U.S., including Toby Mac, Ricky Skaggs, Steven
Curtis Chapman, Mercy Me, and many others tweeted for him and signed a
petition for his freedom. (In fact, #SaveSaeed was trending on Twitter
yesterday! Let’s keep it up!) The American Center for Law and Justice
represents his family and is organizing a petition on his behalf.
Please consider signing and telling this American pastor that he will
never be forgotten.
It's almost time to "put on your dancing shoes" or I suppose in this case,
exercise your dialing finger and vote for Bristol and Mark (Team Ballin)
if you want to see them dance again next week. Bristol and Mark survived last week's double elimination round thanks to your help.
Rules for voting are below but first, some up to date news directly from Bristol who is speaking weekly with Kevin Scholla of SarahNetRadio. Following is Episode 4 of "Breaking It Down With Bristol".
How To Vote:
Voting information from Mark's Blog & updated to reflect current information:
The couples dance on Monday
nights for a score from the judges. Then the fans vote for their
favorite. The judges score counts 50% and the fans 50%. The key to the
judges score is that they convert it to a percentage. They take all the
scores from the judges and add them together. Then that number is
divided into the score for the individual couple. That gives the 50%
that counts as the judges scores. Same thing with the fan vote. All the
votes are totaled and that number is divided into the couples fan vote.
The lowest combined judges scores and fan scores send a couple home.
There will be three ways to vote:
The first is by phone800-868-3409.
The number will remain the same throughout the competition. Phone lines
open as soon as the show starts and stay open for 1 hour after the
show. Fans should try to phone vote as soon as the show starts. After
they dance and at end of the show are the hardest times to get through
and we want every single vote. You can vote on as many phones as you
have access to. For the first half of the season, voters will be allowed
the same number votes as the contestants. For example, the first week
there will be thirteen contestants, so each type of account gets 13
votes. The second week it will go down to 12. Once they are down to 5
contestants or less, the fans still get 5 votes per account.
ATT users can text their votes by texting the word "vote" to3409.
Once again you get the same number of votes as contestants. It is my
understanding you can text votes and call votes from the same phone.
The final way is online. Go to http://abc.go.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars/.
On show nights there will be a vote tab. You have to have an account to
vote online. You should make your accounts before the show starts
because when the show is going the site crawls. You can vote with as
many accounts as you make.
Dancing with the Stars is definitely a team effort. Bristol and Mark will do the dancing-the fans have to do the voting!

During week two of Dancing With The Stars,
Bristol and Mark were again deemed "safe". Once again, many
voters wanted to see Bristol and Mark return to dance during week
three. Dancing With The Stars will be on the air Monday, October 8th at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on ABC. Be sure to tune in then vote to support Bristol and Mark!

Kevin Scholla's "Breaking It Down With Bristol"
Follow Bristol's Blog here on Twitter here and on Facebook here
Last week Bristol Palin and her professional partner Mark Ballas were in the bottom three; however, thanks to your votes, Team Ballin was deemed "safe" and survived to dance another week.
During their post-show interview, Bristol and Mark gave their fans some clues about the song they will "Quickstep" to in week number two airing tonight on ABC. Bristol cited that she "sings the song everyday" and seemed very excited to be able to get her song pick. Listen to the interview here:

Week number two of "Breaking It Down With Bristol" is now available. Bristol will be talking with Kevin Scholla of SarahNETRadio each week and by listening you will get the inside scoop directly from Bristol.
Bristol's Blog was updated with their phone number: 800-868-3409
With her competitive spirit and "I can do" attitude, Bristol Palin will be competing on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars All-Star Edition" starting on Monday night, September 24th. Palin is again paired with professional dancer Mark Ballas to form "Team Ballin". You may recall that Bristol and Mark placed third during the 2010 season of the show.
This past week Bristol took to her own blog to let her supporters know they can help her by voting. If you want to see Bristol and Mark dance week after week, it's up to you to vote and make it happen! Voting information from Mark's Blog:

Following in the footsteps of her mother, Bristol Palin speaks her mind via her recently published blog, demonstrating that she is no shrinking violet.
Mr. President, When Should I Expect Your Call?
Dear President Obama,
You don’t know my telephone number, but I hope your staff is busy trying to find it. Ever since you called Sandra Fluke after Rush Limbaugh called her a slut, I figured I might be next. You explained to reporters you called her because you were thinking of your two daughters, Malia and Sasha. After all, you didn’t want them to think it was okay for men to treat them that way:
“One of the things I want them to do as they get older is engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on,” you said. “I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens.”
And I totally agree your kids should be able to speak their minds and engage the culture. I look forward to seeing what good things Malia and Sasha end up doing with their lives.
But here’s why I’m a little surprised my phone hasn’t rung. Your $1,000,000 donor Bill Maher has said reprehensible things about my family. He’s made fun of my brother because of his Down’s Syndrome. He’s said I was “f—-d so hard a baby fell out.” (In a classy move, he did this while his producers put up the cover of my book, which tells about the forgiveness and redemption I’ve found in God after my past – very public — mistakes.)
If Maher talked about Malia and Sasha that way, you’d return his dirty money and the Secret Service would probably have to restrain you. After all, I’ve always felt you understood my plight more than most because your mom was a teenager. That’s why you stood up for me when you were campaigning against Sen. McCain and my mom — you said vicious attacks on me should be off limits.
Yet I wonder if the Presidency has changed you. Now that you’re in office, it seems you’re only willing to defend certain women. You’re only willing to take a moral stand when you know your liberal supporters will stand behind you. More
