On Saturday, many
people were writing about Governor Palin's introduction to the nation.
Bloggers--myself included--were recording what they
remember
about that day or their favorite Palin moment since that day. Here in
New York, we wanted to do that, but we wanted to do more. We created an
opportunity to get together with other Palinistas to connect,
strategize, and, of course, give in to the nostalgia.
New York
City was the location. It was too far for some in our New York network
to travel, so we had a small group--four of us. I drove the five hours
round trip, and it was well worth it. Though small in number, this was
a strong and diverse group, capable of great achievements in the
pro-Sarah, pro-America, pro-conservative movement. In attendance were
Pamela Geller (Atlas Shrugs), Raj Rajagopalan, Ron Devito, and yours
truly.
You know Pamela from the prestigious blog,
Atlas Shrugs.
She is a powerful writer, public speaker, and activist who believes
deeply in what she writes and speaks about. She is fired up and
passionate about America and wants to see us progress in the right
direction.
Raj Rajagopalan, of
Associated Content, is the New York City local organizer for the
2012 Draft Sarah Committee.
He demonstrates bold support of Governor Palin in a very liberal state.
He speaks out without fear--sometimes using words; other times using
clothing. (You'll see what I mean at the end!)
Ron Devito is another loyal Palin activist and blogger. He is the editor/publisher of
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's Accomplishments,
for which I also write. He oversees several contributors to his blog
that is committed to publishing the accomplishments of Governor
Palin--accomplishments that are ignored or watered down by the
mainstream media.
As the four of us talked in the restaurant,
we noticed other diners paying attention to our conversation. As you
know, New York is not the most conservative of places, so that's to be
expected, I suppose. Raj's T-shirt didn't help matters either!
After
our meal, we went to an apartment where we watched last year's Dayton,
Ohio speech that Palin made after John McCain introduced her to the
nation. One would have thought it was a year earlier and we were in the
crowd in Ohio, for we, too, sat on the edge of our seats and clapped
our hands while watching the year-old video.
Before we ended
our time together, we discussed alternate avenues to get our message
out. Here's some breaking news for you: we cannot rely on the
mainstream media! Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that we
create our own media. With some tips from Pamela, I am now hoping to
expand my influence and continue to get the truth out there in varied
ways. Some might say, "Why? Palin is no longer the governor of Alaska
or the vice presidential candidate." True. However, she is not fading
into the distance. She continues to be a voice, and that voice
continues to get distorted by an agenda-laden media. So the question
is: what do we do about it?
That's where people like us come in.
When necessary, we must be committed to going around the CNN's and
MSNBC's of this world, the Katie Courics and Charlie Gibsons, and using
other tools: written blogs, video blogs, online newsletters, and social
networking sites. This is grassroots at its best.
As my
readers know, I am the New York State Organizer and Media
Director/Spokesperson for the 2012 Draft Sarah Committee. My prediction
is we will see Governor Palin become
President Palin in the next presidential election. However,
whatever road she decides to travel, it will take people like us--people like
you--to
help her navigate safely, for we know the Left will continue to throw
every rock at her that they can manage to pick up from the side of the
road. This is why it's important that we get together with others who
are like-minded, those who are committed to truth and have an aversion
for smears and destructive tactics. The time is now. This is the time
to be--not just Pro-Sarah-- but pro-
active.

Next 3 pics show Raj, Pamela Geller (Atlas Shrugs), Ron Devito, and me at NYC restaurant
Here I am holding a McCain-Palin T-shirt from Mocha Moose in Wasilla, AK
Now you see it...Now you don't! Raj and I make "McCain" disappear from T-shirt
In
case you can't see it, what's printed underneath Palin's pic on Raj's
T-shirt is the phrase,"Go get the socialist!" Needless to say, he got
stared down on the train and in the restaurant!
