2012 Draft Sarah Committee June 2010 Newsletter

2012 Draft Sarah Committee Newsletter                                         Vol 2 Issue 2

Chairman's Corner - Randy Highsmith There are many so called "experts" out there who have already decided Governor Palin is not going to run for President in 2012.  I think they have forgotten that she is not a typical politician; she does things her way and in her own timing.  Just because she has not done some of the "normal" groundwork for a run does not mean she has ruled it out.  In fact, I have seen and read on several occasions where she has said she would consider a run if it was right for her family and right for the nation.  So don't let those voicing such opinions discourage you, keep pressing forward until our goal of having Governor Palin as our nominee comes to fruition. Be sure to visit http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sarahpalinsalaska/ and sign the petition showing your support of Governor Palin's upcoming Discovery Channel Documentary on Alaska.  The Left is trying to pressure Discovery Communicationsinto not airing the program.  Let David Saslav of Discovery Communications know you support their decision to run the documentary. Our committee has elected two new members to the Board of Directors as a result of two resignations.  Board MemberDavid Kelly, co-founder and Treasurer of the 2012 Draft Sarah Committee, is stepping down at the end of the month to concentrate on issues and campaigns in Colorado.  He will remain our Colorado Organizer.  Also, due to her hectic schedule, Board Member April Moore has stepped down from the Board.  She will remain our Alaska Organizer.  We elected Rachelle Friberg, our San Diego, CA Organizer and Martha Cano, our Corpus Christi, TX Organizer to fill those vacancies.  Martha was appointed as our new Treasurer and will take over those duties July 1st.  In this issue we are spotlighting Rachelle and will spotlight Martha in next issue.  Welcome aboard, Rachelle and Martha. We have released three promotional videos "summoning" Governor Palin to run in 2012.  Below you will find the long version.  We have 30 and 60 second versions as well, and those can be viewed at our YouTube page,http://www.youtube.com/2012DRAFTSARAH.  Be sure to share these videos on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and your blogs.

OUR NEW PROMO & SUMMONS to Governor Palin If you can not view the embeded video go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk5pOt3x2AI    Organizer Spotlight - Rachelle Friberg Rachelle Friberg is a San Diego girl and a patriotic American at heart!  She graduated from San Diego State University in 2005 where she studied English and Journalism. She also has a Master’s Degree in English. Prior to the 2008 Presidential Election, she was never really into politics. Rachelle voted, but that was about it. The election of 2008 changed everything for her. When Senator John McCainselected Governor Sarah Palin, she immediately viewed her as a role model, a true modern-day feminist. Governor Palin is the epitome of this female: strong, sincere, classy, intelligent and graceful. Rachelle says, "I have heard individuals describe her as a modern-dayMargaret Thatcher or Ronald Reagan."  She has inspired Rachelle to get involved politically. Rachelle began to look at politics with a fresh perspective, and she found that she could not get enough of it. Soon after the election, she created her blog, Conservative Girl with a Voice:http://www.conservativegirlwithavoice.com/.  She became involved with the 2012 Draft Sarah Committee as the San Diego Organizer.   She put her background in journalism to work by becoming a political correspondent for a variety of radio shows around the U.S. Furthermore, Rachelle is also co-host of The People's Post Livehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepeoplespost-live, a political radio show that helps to promote Governor Palin and spread the conservative message, and she writes for the Palin Twibe and the Sarah Palin Internet Coalition. Recently, she was asked to begin writing for Smart Girl Politics and Smart Girl Nation.  Radio Talk Show Host and Palin Supporter Tammy Bruce has featured her blog on her site.  Rachelle is also helping her good friend, former Conservative talk radio host and great friend of the Palin family,Eddie Burke, with the press aspect for his campaign for Alaska's lieutenant governor.  In her spare time—when not working at La Jolla High School with her dad, a teacher, and immersed in all things politics—she loves to spend time with her family, friends, and her Malitichon, Beau.  Rachelle also loves spending time in the outdoors at her family's cabin in the Sierra Nevadas hiking, swimming, sailing, fishing, and kayaking. She is an outdoors girl and a sports lover.  You may contact Rachelle at CA-SDG@2012DraftSarahCommittee.com.

Sarah Palin: On 66th Anniversary Of D-Day Remember Courage & Sacrifice Of Our Greatest Generation

Today, on the 66th Anniversary of D-Day, let’s remember the courage and sacrifice of our Greatest Generation whose actions helped liberate a continent. I’d like to share with you excerpts from President Reagan’s beautiful speech on the 40th Anniversary of D-Day honoring the Rangers who took the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc:

“Behind me is a memorial that symbolizes the Ranger daggers that were thrust into the top of these cliffs. And before me are the men who put them here. These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war. Gentlemen, I look at you and I think of the words of Stephen Spender’s poem. You are men who in your “lives fought for life and left the vivid air singed with your honor.”....

Forty summers have passed since the battle that you fought here. You were young the day you took these cliffs; some of you were hardly more than boys, with the deepest joys of life before you. Yet, you risked everything here. Why? Why did you do it? What impelled you to put aside the instinct for self-preservation and risk your lives to take these cliffs? What inspired all the men of the armies that met here? We look at you, and somehow we know the answer. It was faith and belief. It was loyalty and love. 

The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead, or on the next. It was the deep knowledge -- and pray God we have not lost it -- that there is a profound moral difference between the use of force for liberation and the use of force for conquest. You were here to liberate, not to conquer, and so you and those others did not doubt your cause. And you were right not to doubt.

You all knew that some things are worth dying for. One’s country is worth dying for, and democracy is worth dying for, because it’s the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man. All of you loved liberty. All of you were willing to fight tyranny, and you knew the people of your countries were behind you.” - Ronald Reagan

May we never forget the sacrifices made for liberty.

Sarah Palin: Coach Wooden’s Parquet Success – a Blueprint for Life

“Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.” - Coach John Wooden

Ever since we were kids, Todd and I have looked at Coach John Wooden as a true hero. His quotes plastered our bulletin boards, school notebooks, and locker doors. Realizing this mutual admiration of Coach Wooden when Todd and I first met about 30 years ago was a sure sign that we were on the same page.

From afar we have admired Coach’s wit and wisdom, we’ve absorbed his writings and the life lessons he’s taught from the basketball court. Coach’s “Pyramid of Success” is a blueprint that everyone in this country should tack within eyesight and try to follow daily. Coach teaches: “Material possessions, winning scores, and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord, because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters,” but I admit I fail that material possession lesson as I prize a favorite one that’s displayed in our living room – a genuine autographed copy of his Success Pyramid.

Feel better, Coach Wooden! You are God’s gift to those who recognize value in life lessons learned in the arena of competition. In the midst of all your success on the parquet you’ve reminded us what really matters. You remind us to be courageous and optimistic and prepared. Truly, you are a gift on this earth, and our world needs you to keep on giving!

Feel better. We love you. Thanks for teaching us: “Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It’s courage that counts.”

- Todd and Sarah Palin and our families, your biggest fans

“Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”

- Coach John Wooden
