2012 Draft Sarah Committee taking off!

Hey Guys,


2012 Draft Sarah Committee is taking off but we still need your help! The 2012 Draft Sarah Committee is registered with the Federal Elections Commission as a draft committee. The requirements on who can contribute are the same as for any federal elections.

Statements of income, contributors and expenditures are filed with the FEC.

http://www.2012draftsarahcommittee.com/

At this time we have 16 state organizers. I would like to see the other slots filled by January 20th! If you are interested in being a state organizer visit http://www.2012draftsarahcommittee.com/ then click on the "State Organizers" link. Look to see if we have someone in your state. If not go over to the "Volunteer" section and fill out the form, making sure you check the button "Working as an organizer". After that you will need to setup an email account somewhere like yahoo, gmail, aol etc. It should be in the form of Sarah then your state initials then 2012 at whatever your email account is for example Oregon would look something like Sarah2012OR@whatever.com. The reason we do this is to provide some continuity to our organizer list. You may also notice we have area or city organizers as well. For instance we have organizers in Tallahassee and Miami helping me out here in Florida so if your state already has an organizer your help is still needed, especially in larger states with large cities. After you sign up and set up an email be sure to drop Paul, sarah2012USA@gmail.com our National Organizer a note letting him know all that has been done. After you are approved you will be added to the organizers section and recive updates and other action notices. Let's make this happen. If you do not want to be an organizer we could still use your help so still go by and sign up as a volunteer. Also you can sign up for our email newsletter. You do that at the bottom of the link column at teh left of the page, right under the Contact link.

One other very important way you can help is by donating to the cause. Right now we are planning to set up a booth at the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference,February 26-28, 2009). The cost for this would be in the neighborhood of $3,000.00. That would be to cover the booth, printing and other related expenses. If you can help fill that need in funding it would be great. Go to the "Contribute" link and make a contribution to this effort.

Also just a reminder that I set up a petition that I hope you will sign and help get the word out as well.



PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION!!! RUN SARAH RUN Petition

God Bless you my friends and Merry Christmas!

It's OK to wish me a Merry Christmas!

Hello Friends,

I get so tired of the Political Correct crowd destroying traditional American values! You look around and you see stores selling "holiday" trees or stores selling "holiday" gifts because they do not want to offend people. You see stores banning the Salvation Army from having their fund raising kettles and such for the same reasons. I respect everyone’s religious beliefs and practices but does that mean I have to not practice or show mine?

Enough is Enough! It's ok to wish me a Merry Christmas.

I know of this local man who printed up a bunch of buttons a few years ago and now he sells them every year. Last year I bought 50 of them to hand out to friends and family. I like to wear mine when I go into stores. You would be surprised in what kind of pleasant reactions you get.





If you are not a Christian then I wish you a;

"Happy Hanukkah", to my Jewish friends.
"Ramadan Mubarak" which means "May God grant you a blessed month," to my Muslim friends..
"Happy Kwanzaa." to my African American friends who recognize this holiday..
"Happy Yule" to my Wiccan/Pagan friends.
"Rohatsu" There is no greeting specifically for this holiday, although Zen practitioners greet each other with the gassho gesture, placing their palms together in front of their face in an acknowledgement of the other person's Buddha-nature. to my Buddhist friends.

... and if that does not cover you THEN Happy Holiday to you. But as for me and my family... you can Wish Us a Merry Christmas!

God Bless

Call a friend and/or relative in Georgia!!!

Sarah Supporters

I know several of you guys and gals have relatives and or friends in the great state of Georgia. If every blogger for Sarah called (or emailed) a friend and/or relative in Georgia we could help make a difference for Sarah right now. The Georgia runoff is so important for so many reasons, Sarah herself has staked her reputation on helping Saxby Chambliss whith this runoff. As most of you probably know Sarah is campaigning for Chambliss today. I read an article http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081201/ap_on_el_se/georgia_senate this morning on just why she thinks this runoff is so important. Below is an excerp of that article;

And she cast the Georgia runoff as the first step in rehabilitating the Republican Party, wounded by losses in November including the defeat of the McCain-Palin ticket.

"It takes rebuilding and I say let that begin here in Georgia tomorrow," Palin said.

She touted Chambliss' support for gun rights as well his opposition to abortion and tax hikes.

"We must send Saxby back to the United States Senate," she said.

To recap: So here is what I say we need to do. If we have friends and/or relatives in Georgia we need to call and or email them tonight urging them to get out tomorrow and cast a vote for for Chambliss.

Fred Thompson for RNC Chair? By Matt Lewis

I saw this opinion peace yesterday on The Politico; http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1108/15696.html

I have heard several good names tossed out there, two of which, Michael Steel and Newt Gingrich being two of the more talked about but Lewis is making a case here for Fred Thompson. I too like this idea as Fred was who I supported in the primaries. Whoever it turns out to be I hope they are effective communicators but most of all I hope they are true conservatives in the vein of Ronald Reagan!

... and what are your thoughts?

Fred Thompson for RNC Chair? By Matt Lewis

The presidential race is over, but for a few top Republicans, the campaign is just beginning. At its winter meeting in January, the Republican National Committee will elect a new chairman, and a slew of hungry candidates are already lining up for the job.

Some might consider the RNC chairmanship to be a low-profile position, but there’s already no Republican Senate majority leader or House speaker and soon there will be no Republican president. For at least two years, the chairman will become the de facto national leader and face of the GOP — and will arguably be the most powerful Republican in the United States.

Unlike recent predecessors, the new chairman not only will need to oil the party machinery but also to be the primary mechanism for advancing the Republican message. This will require enough gravitas and personal magnetism to play loyal opposition to the Obama administration. Furthermore, Republican voters are angry at the party leadership right now — angry enough to break out the guillotines. We need a chairman who can both combat the Democratic president and control the stampeding elephants.

Where can we find such a superhuman being? Does such a person even exist?

Right now, several qualified and worthy state GOP chairmen are seen as potential candidates. In fact, they’ve been generating buzz for almost a year.

When the party is without a sitting president or a powerful leader such as Newt Gingrich (who, sadly, has said he is not interested in the position), a talented state chairman might be just the way to go. Two state chairmen stand out: Katon Dawson of South Carolina and Saul Anuzis of Michigan. As solid spokesmen who have labored in the vineyards of party politics, both are fine men who would be good for the RNC chairmanship. Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele also is running.

But there is a nationally recognized leader who should also be thrown into the mix: former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson.

During his short-lived 2008 presidential run, Thompson often seemed a better advocate for others than for himself. After dropping out of the presidential race, he served as one of Sen. John McCain’s most eloquent, hard-hitting and effective surrogates. With his Hollywood ties, he’s also a pretty good fundraiser. As RNC chairman, he could continue in that role without the pressure to become president himself (which, frankly, didn’t seem to appeal to him).

Of course, there are other dynamic leaders who could enter the mix. Rudy Giuliani, for instance, could definitely make a strong case for himself. Giuliani has the chutzpah to shake things up and the personal magnetism to be an effective leader. The Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder noted possibly the most intriguing pre-Election Day speculation, when he said that “some activists want Sarah Palin — assuming she doesn’t become vice president — to run.”

I really like that idea. I still want Thompson, of course, but it’s still one heck of a good idea. Then again, why not have both?

Yes, it’s possible. Take a gander at the Rules of the Republican Party, specifically Subsection One of Section A of Rule No. 5. It reads, “A chairman and a co-chairman of the opposite sex ... shall be elected by the members of the Republican National Committee.” I’m not sure who decided to write affirmative action into the Republican Party’s rules, but in this case, it could work to the GOP’s advantage. If Thompson were elected chairman, the party has to elect a female co-chairman anyway. Why not use that technicality to elect Palin and get two stars for the price of one?

Forget about simply countering Barack Obama. With the party in the hands of a high-wattage Thompson-Palin tag team, I’m pretty sure that the two could seize the offensive and leave the new president in the dust. I realize this idea sounds mildly insane, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work. The Boston Tea Party probably seemed like a pretty stupid idea at the time, but in hindsight, those dudes in the freaky Indian costumes were pretty darn smart.

Decorum and tradition probably dictate that the next RNC chairman be a stodgy partisan apparatchik, but since when did decorum ever get us anywhere? It certainly didn’t do us much good this year. In fact, it probably lost us the most important election in modern history.

So let’s dispense with the pleasantries and actually shake things up for once. After four years of Obama’s socialist policies, something tells me that the American people are going to be ready for another tea party. With Thompson and Palin leading the charge, we might be able to throw Obama’s elite liberal administration (and their soy chai lattes) overboard.
