Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin tonight called upon the GOP candidates to debate solutions and issues and stop the negativity during a TV interview with Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly from her home in Wasilla, Alaska.

On Romney's win - which as of this writing stands at 47% with Gingrich trailing 15 points at 32% with 79% of the precincts reporting - Gov. Palin said, "those are pretty large numbers for Governor Romney. $17 million bought lots of darts and arrows which were flown in one direction, and others were thrown back." Gov. Palin said that with this $17 million in ads all spent in Florida, the other candidates found it difficult to counter Romney. "Once a bell is rung, it's difficult to un-ring it."

On Romney's closing statement pertaining to leading the party, Gov. Palin said that is every candidate's mission. She called upon all the candidates to debate the issues, like why are we facing a huge deficit, and debate solutions to problems such as the rumor that U.S. currency will no longer be used for oil trades, which increases our dependence on foreign energy. She said the candidates should debate the war on religion, which is a "war on our first freedom." She said candidates should focus on normal every-day things, not nitpicking.

Baier asked Gov. Palin if she would carry her call to vote for Gingrich to Nevada in light of her having done it in South Carolina and Florida. Gov. Palin said, she would call on people to vote for whichever candidate would allow the competition and vetting to continue. Since Romney and Gingrich are the two front-runners, Gov. Palin said Gingrich is currently the candidate she would call upon Nevadans to vote for. "An even playing field allows the vetting to continue."

A friend emailed me this notice from her local Alaskan school today. As the school notice makes clear: anything above -55 degrees below zero is warm enough for our Alaskan young’uns! Global warming? What global warming? I just had to share this with all those who are enjoying the balmy 65 degree (above zero) weather in the Beltway today and the 70+ degree weather our Florida voters are enjoying! And here’s a photo of my nephew doing his chores in -20 degrees. Last Frontier indeed. - Sarah Palin “Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice.” - Henry Ford

Back in May 2009, during the controversy over Notre Dame’s decision to have President Obama as their commencement speaker and honorary degree recipient, I gave a short statement to the Boston Herald: “My favorite grandpa, Clem James Sheeran, was Catholic. Irish to the core, his favorite place (other than church) was Notre Dame. I can’t imagine what he would think as the university recognizes someone who contradicts the core values of the Catholic faith by promoting an anti-life agenda.” In his latest Washington Post column, Michael Gerson writes about the Obama administration’s war on Catholic institutions with President Obama's decision to strip conscience protections from Catholic universities, hospitals and charities. As Gershon points out, the timing of Obama's most recent slap won't go unnoticed by the faithful: "In politics, the timing is often the message. On Jan. 20 — three days before the annual March for Life — the Obama administration announced its final decision that Catholic universities, hospitals and charities will be compelled to pay for health insurance that covers sterilization, contraceptives and abortifacients. Preparing for the march, Catholic students gathered for Mass at Verizon Center. The faithful held vigil at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Knights of Columbus and bishops arrived to trudge in the cold along the Mall. All came to Washington in time for their mocking.” And in this we see how the faithful at Notre Dame got snookered and how Obama has shamefully repaid their faith in him:

Both radicalism and maliciousness are at work in Obama’s decision — an edict delivered with a sneer... The implications of Obama’s choice will take years to sort through. The immediate impact can be measured on three men: Consider Catholicism’s most prominent academic leader, the Rev. John Jenkins, president of Notre Dame. Jenkins took a serious risk in sponsoring Obama’s 2009 honorary degree and commencement address — which promised a “sensible” approach to the conscience clause. Jenkins now complains, “This is not the kind of ‘sensible’ approach the president had in mind when he spoke here.” Obama has made Jenkins — and other progressive Catholic allies — look easily duped.

"Keep the process going. Only three states have had the chance to chime in....Who is best to beat Obama? Who as been sharpened and shaped? The more candidate information that is revealed the fairer it is for voters. Competition reveals and shapes character," Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin tonight said in a two-segment TV interview with Sean Hannity from her home studio in Wasilla, Alaska.

"We need somebody passionate about not embracing the status quo. That's the beauty of competition," Gov. Palin said adding that Hannity's son would not do well in tennis if he knew he was going to win every time and never be challenged. But, Gov. Palin said the campaigning has gotten vicious. "I'm not whining about it, but I will call out when lies are being told, whether by a PAC or by the candidate. We feel disconnected and disenfranchised. [The candidates should] debate relevant ideas and solutions, not petty stuff.

Gov. Palin felt compelled to write her Facebook Note about the GOP establishment using the tactics of the left when she saw the "re-written history about Newt Gingrich and the Reagan Revolution." Gingrich had balanced budgets and was at least partially responsible for welfare reform. "I'm going to continue saying good things about all the GOP candidates, because any one is better than Obama. The establishment has never balanced a budget since Gingrich and Clinton did." Gov. Palin said that the establishment appeared content to instead engage in insider trading that is illegal for everyone else.

In the second segment, Gov. Palin was asked to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate. She chose only to discuss the positive, as the candidates were doing a fine enough job bringing out the weaknesses. Hannity agreed.

About Gingrich, Gov. Palin said "his experience in Washington is a strength, because he was one of the few to work on a balanced budget and is passionate about shaking things up."

Gov. Palin said if Romney is surrounded by hard-core conservatives he will be directed more toward the center-right values that the majority of our nation holds. But, Gov. Palin said Romney has a solid family lineage of success, and is a good family man. "I respect that."

"I'm a great admirer of Rick Santorum. He is a great warrior on the field." He is a social conservative and great on Judeo-Christian values, she said. Gov. Palin added that she would like to see Santorum expand his discussion to fiscal matters and foreign policy.

Gov. Palin said she has "great respect for Ron Paul's fiscal sanity, and his austerity ideas are right on. Keep on being bold."

Gov. Palin did not endorse any candidate tonight.

"What I'm trying to do is find out who has that ideal, and also who can win the GOP nomination - not that it would be a wasted vote for Ron Paul, but Gingrich and Romney are the two front runners. I'm trying to be practical, not naively idealistic," former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin tonight said in a TV interview with Judge Napolitano of Freedom Watch from her home studio in Wasilla, Alaska. "It is the multi-billion dollar question, 'who best to go against Obama? That's why I want the vetting to continue," she said.

Gov. Palin reinforced her "rage against the machine" message, saying, "rage against the status quo - the status quot that got us into that pickle. I want voters to rise up and allow the vetting process to continue." Gov. Palin said if the GOP establishment gets the expedited conclusion it seeks, the electorate will be cut off - disenfranchised.

On Gingrich, Gov. Palin said he "has a record of raging against the machine in so many respects. He's balanced budgets. He was part of the Reagan Revolution, and he was responsible for welfare reform."

During the interview, Gov. Palin said the race was largely between Gingrich and Romney now, because Santorum and Paul are trailing very distant third and fourth respectively.

US for Palin has maintained a policy of not endorsing any POTUS candidates until former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin does. Our policy has not changed, and we remain neutral toward all the candidates, except as Gov. Palin directs. It is all rooted in this promise. Tonight, it is time to execute one more aspect of that promise....

Gov. Palin has issued the call to Florida voters to "rage against the machine" and vote for Newt Gingrich so that the vetting process can continue. This is not a matter of "Romney vs. Newt" and not a matter of any candidate's relative merits or lack thereof. There has been too much bickering amongst Palinistas over that and too many friendships destroyed. Our support and fan activities for Gov. Palin did not end on October 5 with her announcement that she is not seeking the 2012 GOP nomination. Yes, we are both fans and supporters and proud to be both!

The GOP establishment and many pundits would like to have us believe that Mitt Romney's nomination is "inevitable," that it's all over after Florida and we should just be good little boys and girls and accept it. The problem is not Mitt Romney so much as those who want to make his nomination a fait accompli as fast as possible. All these candidates need to be vetted and asked the tough questions. Whoever becomes the nominee, should do so because there was a thorough vetting and as a result, that candidate was truly found to be the best of the four to go against Obama in the general election. That cannot happen if those who want to "expedite the proceedings" have their way and secure a Romney win in Florida.

Gov. Palin's call to Floridians to vote for Newt Gingrich mirrors her call to residents of South Carolina. Though has undeniably spoken in highly favorable terms about Gingrich - favorable enough that many have construed her words as a de facto endorsement - the fact is Gov. Palin has not endorsed any candidate. SarahPAC has not provided any financial support to the POTUS candidates and Gov. Palin has not gone on the stump for any of them - actions that would rise above mere endorsement.

Why Gingrich?

"The math is the math," and that is what Gov. Palin's decision boils down to with the objective of seeing to it that proper candidate vetting occurs and this is not decided after four states. She has so much as said so. Romney and Gingrich are in a statistical dead heat in Florida. Santorum is trailing distant third behind them. Ron Paul is an even more distant fourth. Ergo, calling upon Floridians to vote for Santorum or Paul would make absolutely no sense as neither of them have the chance to pull off a win with little more than 36 hours remaining till Tuesday. Her call to Foridians is not about who is the most pure, or who has the best character. It's about vetting candidates and ensuring as many voters as possible have their say.

In Her Professional Opinion

Gov. Palin has nearly 20 years in this business. She's had more than her share of flowers and stones hurled at her. She's been through heated contested primaries. Her statements on the candidates are her professional opinion derived from her experience, and the knowledge she attains in in the course of analyzing this race.

Denial - It's Not a River in Egypt

About the only thing I disagree with Gov. Palin on is her statement that we are seeking the perfect candidate. It's not so much that we are seeking the perfect candidate. We found her three years ago. Our perfect candidate chose not to run, but she never led us down a primrose path to believe that she was running. We advanced the idea and summoned her to run. While nearly all Palinistas prefer Gov. Palin to any of the four declared candidates, she is not running. Part of support means accepting, not denying reality, understanding that our narratives belong to us, and should not be projected on Gov. Palin. As she said on the Tom Sullivan Show, "logistically speaking, I'm up here in Alaska, raising a family, and running businesses. I don't have the organization that could propel me to a position of being a viable candidate." How far is Gov. Palin from New York and Washington D.C.? From either city, take a flight to Warsaw, Poland, then take a train or rent a car and drive another 200 miles. That's right, you have to cross the entire Atlantic Ocean and more than half of Europe to equal the distance from New York and Washington to Wasilla, Alaska.

Gov. Palin does not live in a romantic world of talking trees, singing animals and pixie dust to steal from the FedEx commercial. She lives in a world of reality. Though Gov. Palin has her core values and convictions, she is a realist who sees the big picture. She has endorsed candidates who were "less than ideal" before, such as John McCain and Carly Fiorina, because other factors aside from conservative purism came into play. just like then, we need to watch Gov. Palin and listen to her words and execute them.

Test of Loyalty and Leap of Faith

I know Palinistas who absolutely hate, detest and loathe Gingrich for various reasons. The fact is, all four candidates have things in their records and aspects of their character that are Achilles Heels. They also have their strengths. We are not going to find a perfect candidate among the four - as Gov. Palin has said. They all need to be thoroughly vetted.

Gov. Palin has given a directive. If we are her supporters, if we have accepted her as our leader, we must execute her orders. Support is not always fun or easy. Sometimes, we have to do things we would rather not do. Whatever we think about Gingrich now - we need to support Gingrich in Florida - not on his merits, but as Gov. Palin said - to ensure that all four candidates are properly vetted and that as many of our 50 states as possible have their say in the primaries.

Now, therefore, everyone who lives in Florida, please vote for Gingrich on Tuesday, even if you are among those who hate him. Please put your hate aside. Don't do it for Gingrich. Do it for Gov. Palin - Sarah.

Thank you, Rick and Karen Santorum, for living the Christ-like example of sacrifice and right priorities. Nothing is more precious or important than the life of an innocent child. Our prayers are with Bella, a perfect child in an imperfect world.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin tonight said she wanted to keep the vetting going, and would not endorse a candidate, but spoke highly favorably of Newt Gingrich in her single-segment TV interview with Judge Jeanine Pirro from her home in Wasilla, Alaska.

"I've been the proponent of keeping vetting going and of aggressive, but fair debating," Gov. Palin said. "I've seen pundits, even on this network saying that this race would be over after Florida." she said that only three states thus far have voted and the other 47 states "should have a chance to chime in."

"I want to hear from Santorum about repealing ObamaCare that Romney was the architect of. I want to hear from Ron Paul," she said detailing his positions on the fed, QE II, and other domestic economic matters. "I want to hear from Newt and his passion about the Reagan revolution. I want to hear from Romney, how he is not ashamed of his personal financial wealth which he earned through hard work. I don't want the process to end yet."

Gov. Palin said President Reagan was not afraid to take on other Republicans but he knew not to use the politics of personal destruction. Santorum noted that "Romney drew first blood," she said. Gingrich had to hit back. The GOP establishment does not want him to shake things up. "Look at the players in the establishment. They are trying to crucify him. Both party machines are trying to crucify him. Keep vetting: Vote Newt. Annoy a Liberal, Vote Newt," Gov. Palin said, also stating that he "is engaged in sudden and relentless reform."

Judge Pirro asked Gov. Palin about Gingrich's moon colony proposal. She acknowledged that it "would be an expensive proposition, but JFK had not just the romantic idea of [putting a man on the moon] but being first." Gov. Palin said our space program was important for the national psyche and for its contributions to science. "There is nothing wrong with grandiose ideas," Gov. Palin said, adding that we waste tremendous amounts of money on silly things such as cowboy poetry.

Judge Pirro recited a viewer's Tweet asking which candidate Gov. Palin thought would be best able to defeat Obama.

"Which candidate is most passionate about sudden and relentless reform?" Gov. Palin said Newt Gingrich "would clobber Barack Obama in a debate."

To which, Judge Pirro asked Gov. Palin if she just endorsed Gingrich.

Gov. Palin said she wants to continue the vetting.

Governor Palin today posted on Facebook: We have witnessed something very disturbing this week. The Republican establishment which fought Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and which continues to fight the grassroots Tea Party movement today has adopted the tactics of the left in using the media and the politics of personal destruction to attack an opponent. We will look back on this week and realize that something changed. I have given numerous interviews wherein I espoused the benefits of thorough vetting during aggressive contested primary elections, but this week’s tactics aren’t what I meant. Those who claim allegiance to Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment should stop and think about where we are today. Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, the fathers of the modern conservative movement, would be ashamed of us in this primary. Let me make clear that I have no problem with the routine rough and tumble of a heated campaign. As I said at the first Tea Party convention two years ago, I am in favor of contested primaries and healthy, pointed debate. They help focus candidates and the electorate. I have fought in tough and heated contested primaries myself. But what we have seen in Florida this week is beyond the pale. It was unprecedented in GOP primaries. I’ve seen it before – heck, I lived it before – but not in a GOP primary race. I am sadly too familiar with these tactics because they were used against the GOP ticket in 2008. The left seeks to single someone out and destroy his or her record and reputation and family using the media as a channel to dump handpicked and half-baked campaign opposition research on the public. The difference in 2008 was that I was largely unknown to the American public, so they had no way of differentiating between the lies and the truth. All of it came at them at once as “facts” about me. But Newt Gingrich is known to us – both the good and the bad. We know that Newt fought in the trenches during the Reagan Revolution. As Rush Limbaugh pointed out, Newt was among a handful of Republican Congressman who would regularly take to the House floor to defend Reagan at a time when conservatives didn’t have Fox News or talk radio or conservative blogs to give any balance to the liberal mainstream media. Newt actually came at Reagan’s administration “from the right” to remind Americans that freer markets and tougher national defense would win our future. But this week a few handpicked and selectively edited comments which Newt made during his 40-year career were used to claim that Newt was somehow anti-Reagan, and isn’t conservative enough to go against the accepted moderate in the primary race. (I know, it makes no sense, and the GOP establishment hopes you won’t stop and think about this nonsense. Mark Levin and others have shown the ridiculousness of this.) To add insult to injury, this “anti-Reagan” claim was made by a candidate who admitted to not even supporting or voting for Reagan. He actually was against the Reagan movement, donated to liberal candidates, and said he didn’t want to go back to the Reagan days. You can’t change history. We know that Newt Gingrich brought the Reagan Revolution into the 1990s. We know it because none other than Nancy Reagan herself announced this when she presented Newt with an award, telling us, “The dramatic movement of 1995 is an outgrowth of a much earlier crusade that goes back half a century. Barry Goldwater handed the torch to Ronnie, and in turn Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt and the Republican members of Congress to keep that dream alive.” As Rush and others pointed out, if Nancy Reagan had ever thought that Newt was in any way an opponent of her beloved husband, she would never have even appeared on a stage with him, let alone presented him with an award and said such kind things about him. Nor would Reagan’s son, Michael Reagan, have chosen to endorse Newt in this primary race. There are no two greater keepers of the Reagan legacy than Nancy and Michael Reagan. What we saw with this ridiculous opposition dump on Newt was nothing short of Stanlin-esque re-writing of history. It was Alinsky tactics at their worst. But this whole thing isn’t really about Newt Gingrich vs. Mitt Romney. It is about the GOP establishment vs. the Tea Party grassroots and independent Americans who are sick of the politics of personal destruction used now by both parties’ operatives with a complicit media egging it on. In fact, the establishment has been just as dismissive of Ron Paul and Rick Santorum. Newt is an imperfect vessel for Tea Party support, but in South Carolina the Tea Party chose to get behind him instead of the old guard’s choice. In response, the GOP establishment voices denounced South Carolinian voters with the same vitriol we usually see from the left when they spew hatred at everyday Americans “bitterly clinging” to their faith and their Second Amendment rights. The Tea Party was once again told to sit down and shut up and listen to the “wisdom” of their betters. We were reminded of the litany of Tea Party endorsed candidates in 2010 that didn’t win. Well, here’s a little newsflash to the establishment: without the Tea Party there would have been no historic 2010 victory at all. I spoke up before the South Carolina primary to urge voters there to keep this primary going because I have great concern about the GOP establishment trying to anoint a candidate without the blessing of the grassroots and all the needed energy and resources we as commonsense constitutional conservatives could bring to the general election in order to defeat President Obama. Now, I respect Governor Romney and his success. But there are serious concerns about his record and whether as a politician he consistently applied conservative principles and how this impacts the agenda moving forward. The questions need answers now. That is why this primary should not be rushed to an end. We need to vet this. Pundits in the Beltway are gleefully proclaiming that this primary race is over after Florida, despite 46 states still not having chimed in. Well, perhaps it’s possible that it will come to a speedy end in just four days; but with these questions left unanswered, it will not have come to a satisfactory conclusion. Without this necessary vetting process, the unanswered question of Governor Romney’s conservative bona fides and the unanswered and false attacks on Newt Gingrich will hang in the air to demoralize many in the electorate. The Tea Party grassroots will certainly feel disenfranchised and disenchanted with the perceived orchestrated outcome from self-proclaimed movers and shakers trying to sew this all up. And, trust me, during the general election, Governor Romney’s statements and record in the private sector will be relentlessly parsed over by the opposition in excruciating detail to frighten off swing voters. This is why we need a fair primary that is not prematurely cut short by the GOP establishment using Alinsky tactics to kneecap Governor Romney’s chief rival. As I said in my speech in Iowa last September, the challenge of this election is not simply to replace President Obama. The real challenge is who and what we will replace him with. It’s not enough to just change up the uniform. If we don’t change the team and the game plan, we won’t save our country. We truly need sudden and relentless reform in Washington to defend our republic, though it’s becoming clearer that the old guard wants anything but that. That is why we should all be concerned by the tactics employed by the establishment this week. We will not save our country by becoming like the left. And I question whether the GOP establishment would ever employ the same harsh tactics they used on Newt against Obama. I didn’t see it in 2008. Many of these same characters sat on their thumbs in ‘08 and let Obama escape unvetted. Oddly, they’re now using every available microscope and endoscope – along with rewriting history – in attempts to character assassinate anyone challenging their chosen one in their own party’s primary. So, one must ask, who are they really running against? - Sarah Palin Retrieved from: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150516734848435.

AGU’s history and accomplishments:

In 2010 American Grizzlies United (AGU) introduced two projects: Organize4Palin (O4P) and Students4Palin (S4P). The original goal of the O4P project was to help Governor Sarah Palin’s endorsed candidates get elected to office.

With only two months to learn the ropes, O4P worked tirelessly in the 2010 election cycle. O4P, knocked on doors, made phone calls, waved signs, walked precincts, and circumvented the establishment party machine and brought about real change.

O4P had a 67% success rate in the 2010 mid-terms.

O4P helped Governor Palin elect: 1 Secretary of State, 2 Attorneys General, 6 Senators, 7 Governors, and 37 House Reps.

After the 2010 midterm elections O4P volunteered our nation wide network to help with the promotion of Victory Film Group’s The Undefeated.   By using our personal connections, modern technology, and the good old fashioned telephone, O4P volunteers worked tirelessly to help fill strategically selected theaters on opening weekend.

On a per screen basis O4P’s citizen activism helped The Undefeated hold it’s own against Harry Potter, The Transformers, and Winnie the Pooh.

Even the Los Angeles Times was so impressed by the ability to use practically no marketing money, they conceded:

“This is a new model that is going to benefit the entire entertainment industry and audiences who want to see unique products”

After The Undefeated opened, O4P began laying the ground work for a Sarah Palin 2012 Presidential run.

That nation wide ground work and structure remains intact today.

At this time, Governor Palin is not seeking the GOP nomination.

AGU’s plans for 2012:

In the 2012 election cycle O4P will again help candidates who are endorsed by Sarah Palin.

Additionally, AGU will help candidates that are endorsed by YOU.

AGU will help vetted, down ticket candidates (all the way down to the local level) who are:

- Good candidates who put country first.

- Good candidates who understand that energy independence is the key element of our economic security and betterment that all Americans want and deserve.

- Good candidates who believe in American Exceptionalism.

- And lastly, good candidates who understand that American foreign policy should, above all, be founded in our national interest, and not the interests of others.

Check out the new AGU website HERE: American Grizzlies United

AGU has already received many requests from Tea Party candidates running for office in 2012.

In the coming weeks our volunteers will be receiving resources to help educate and empower ordinary citizens.

One of these resources is: The Grizzly Doctrine; A Crib Sheet. This manuscript will provide a framework for discussion about the honest and ethical policies that all Americans should expect from our leaders. Besides covering the issues that Americans are concerned with, the manuscipt helps educate ordinary citizen volunteers on the best ways to approach potential voters to discuss candidates positions.

Another AGU resource: Citizen Activism Guide; showcases volunteerism, vetting, and organizing your precinct.

AGU feels strongly that there is only one way to put America back on the right track. And that is through an engaged citizenry. An engaged citizenry is key to effectively govern and pass the agenda of sudden and relentless reform that our republic is in need of.

Through an engaged citizenry AGU believes we have a unique opportunity to build a better future for all.

With O4P helping candidates that are endorsed by Governor Palin and AGU concentrating on down ticket local races; our agenda for 2012 is to educate and empower ordinary citizens to come together and make sure that on November 6, 2012 America elects candidates on every level of government who will stop the out of control, out of touch, liberal agenda of Barack Obama.

Students4Palin (S4P):

Students4Palin (S4P), the official student wing of American Grizzlies United (AGU), inspires and facilitates political action in young people across the country. S4P is a convenient, one-stop shop of important news and information about citizen activism for busy young adults. S4P prepares young people to serve as vehicles and public servants for other like-minded young people as they connect and engage with one another.

Other upcoming activities:

AGU will have a presence at CPAC and we’ve got tons of cool free things to give out (courtesy of O4P-CA’s essexandorange1773.com) Check out the Sarah SWAG package available at E & O: SARAH SWAG 4 CPAC

AGU will be helping out at Grizzly Fest’s Winter Summit 

New AGU Organization Structure:

Due to AGU’s expansion, the position and duties of National Director have been transferred to a 5 member Board of Directors.

Actions and decisions on the National level are now approved by a simple majority vote.

AGU Board of Directors:

Martha Cano; Board Member, TX State Coordinator

Mary Beth House; Board Member, TN State Coordinator

R.F. Lawrence; Board Member

Susan Widdowson; Board Member, GA State Coordinator

Thomas S Schmitz; Chairman of the Board, CA State Coordinator

AGU looks forward to coming together and making sure that on November 6, 2012 we retain the House, seize the Senate and ensure that our new President of the United States has a congress of common sense, constitutional, conservative public servants.

By keeping our determination and our commitment intact. We can advance, strengthen, and carry on this organized entity that works together toward the restoration of our founder’s values and principles – on every level of government.

This is 2012. This is an election year. Our work continues. Let’s restore America.

Obama promised "more government growth and centralized federal government planning to create a utopia for us....[The State of the Union] was frustrating to watch....Socialism is shared misery," former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin tonight said on her premiere interview with John Stossel from her home in Wasilla, Alaska. On Obama's line about using an "all of the above approach" to energy - a line he ripped from Gov. Palin - she said, "maybe he's come around in his rhetoric, because it's an election year." Gov. Palin noted that many Gulf oil rigs closed during his drilling moratorium and would take months or years to return following the removal of the moratorium.

Obama never spoke about ANWR, drilling, Solyndra, or our massive debt and deficit, she said.

"People want to believe the best," about politicians, Gov. Palin said, but she said "voters should step back and do a little research," even though "we have lives, and are raising children," and do not devote our lives to politics.

Gov. Palin reiterated her position on Ron Paul. She does not support his isolationist foreign policy, but said "he is the only one who is passionate about doing something about our debt. His austerity measures are spot on."

Gov. Palin also said the GOP establishment and the liberal media do not like Newt Gingrich and are "crucifying him," trafficking in falsehoods. She regarded Peggy Noonan's "angry muffin" assessment as little more than pure hypocrisy, since one candidate was being targeted for something all are doing. Gov. Palin said she had dealt with it for her 20 years in politics.

Governor Palin today posted on Facebook:

It seems astonishing that someone would be offended by a simple prayer card placed on an airline’s meal tray, but I guess that’s the politically correct world we live in now. A few days ago, Rev. Franklin Graham gave me a heads up that Alaska Airlines may discontinue its nice, decades-long Alaskan tradition of including a little prayer card on flight meal trays. Rev. Graham is a frequent flyer to Alaska on Alaska Airlines because of his missionary work. Of course, as an Alaskan I’m also a frequent flyer on this airlines, which always seems to provide superb service. When I heard from Rev. Graham, I immediately sent the following letter to the CEO and President of Alaska Airlines.

It feels so odd that some may be offended by a little card with an encouraging non-denominational verse from the Psalms, but how often do we hear complaints about tawdry ads or billboard images flashing at us everywhere we turn? People of faith and common decency just shrug and move on from the constant assault on their sensibilities; we don’t call for censorship – at least I don’t. So, why in this day and age must every reference to faith in God be censored from the public square? Why must a private company buckle under pressure from a handful of people who find a little card saying “the Lord is my shepherd” offensive? I’m sure there are many more people who appreciate the cards, or at least are ambivalent about them.

Is it any wonder that people of faith feel their beliefs are constantly marginalized or even under outright attack when we hear reports like this and stories about Catholic institutions being forced to sue the Obama administration over their right to conscience objections? This Alaska Airlines story is just about a simple meal card, but for these Catholic institutions it’s about an issue that cuts to the heart of their deepest religious beliefs.

Here is the letter I sent to Alaska Airlines, and I encourage other customers to let their voices be heard. Granted, it’s hip to wage war on American traditions lately – especially anything faith-based – but for many of us it’s just not in our DNA to merely shrug off the nonsensical attacks on positive, inspiring, and (in my opinion) needed encouragement today.

Dear Mr. Ayer and Mr. Tilden:

Thank you for your tremendous service to Alaskans and so many others over all these years! We love Alaska Airlines. As I tell everyone, it is my favorite.

In my book “Going Rogue” I gave a special shout-out to airline employees because of the extraordinary customer service and good attitudes I witness on flights that my family and I take around this great country. It’s inspiring and impressive to see the sweet spirit of hard working airline employees shine, in spite of sometimes difficult people and circumstances dealt with everyday.

Also inspiring and impressive, and very encouraging, is the special touch Alaska Airlines has blessed fliers with for many years. Your small prayer cards that remind us of the beauty of thankfulness have never ceased to amaze me. In this tumultuous world, finding this little tangible reminder of such an important virtue is always uplifting! Thank you for providing the cards.

It’s come to my attention that the cards may be discontinued due to a few who are offended. I really hope this is just a rumor. Please remain strong and courageous in the face of a cultural trend that wants to wage war on any positive thing that a few may construe as offensive. The Alaska Airlines tradition should be looked upon as an all-American, hopeful, encouraging gesture. Please don’t discontinue the cards.

Thank you again for your service!

Sarah Palin and family

Ed. Note: This SarahPAC fund-raising letter was customized to each donor and geared for check mail-in. In re-typing, the original document has been slightly modified to obfuscate personal information and to bring donors to the online donation page. As Mr. Crawford wrote, Gov. Palin will be aggressively campaigning nationwide so we can retain the House, take the Senate, and the White House. Her work will rise above endorsements to include supporting candidates on the stump. These activities require our support.

With just 10 months left until Election Day, Barack Obama is showing the American people yet again why he can't be trusted, why he can't lead, and why he must be defeated this November.

• Against the advice of even federal advisers, he doled out more than $500 MILLION of our tax dollars to his "green jobs" cronies at Solyndra - where it promptly disappeared after they filed for bankruptcy.
• He thumbed his nose at Congress and appointed a nominee to head up his new "Consumer Protection Agency" without congressional approval. Senator Mitch McConnell called it an unprecedented power grab that "arrogantly circumvented the American people."
• Obama's disastrous economic policies led to our nation's first credit "down-grade." And Obama still wants to raise the debt ceiling!
• And while he just slashed our military budget, he's raising welfare spending by $900 MILLION.

Barack Obama's so-called "change" has forced Americans into unconstitutional "Obamacare"...higher taxes...and a weakened national security.

And if his out-of-control spending isn't stopped, he will endanger the economic security of future generations of Americans by leading us into European-style debt crisis.

That's not change... it's socialism. And it's crushing the American Spirit that made our nation great.

Our Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they wrote the U.S. Constitution. They designed a government that works for the people... not the other way around.

• A government that thrives on hard work - not hand-outs.
• A government that will live within its means - not mortgage our children's future to pay for today's bureaucratic waste.
• And a government that will maintain a strong national defense - not bow down to nations who despise us and our way of life.

Barack Obama has forgotten the values that made our nation great. But Gov. Palin hasn't.

And if you're ready to help her elect fiscally-conservative, pro-family, pro-America patriots on Election Day, then please [click the SarahPAC graphic] to send your best gift today.

You and I both know the power a Sarah Palin endorsement will carry in these elections....especially when it comes to defeating Barack Obama.

That's why we need to be ready to strike at a moment's notice. And that means we need a war chest that can go head-to-head with Obama's.

You've given as much as [redacted] to SarahPAC before. You helped us take back the House in the crucial 2010 mid-term elections.

But now everything is on the line. Control of the House. The Senate. And the White House.

with so much at stake, Gov. Palin is counting on your best gift possible today. Thank you for standing with her again!

Sincerely,

Tim Crawford
SarahPAC Finance Director

P.S. It's not enough to complain about Obama's arrogance and his socialist agenda. Gov. Palin is ready to help defeat him - but she needs the support of freedom-loving citizens like you to help her shape the debate, campaign across the country, and throw the full weight of SarahPAC behind every candidate she endorses. Will you help us take back our nation this November? If so, please [click the graphic now to] rush your ...gift ...to Gov. Palin today. Thank you again!
