O4P NY Scores Meeting Double Header

Last night I spoke before a group of Log Cabin Republicans at the Metropolitan Republican Club and did a lit drop for both groups.



Log Cabin Republicans is a group for gay and lesbian Republicans. An O4P volunteer referred me to Gregory T. Angelo, who heads the group's NY Chapter. Gov. Palin enjoys a strong and loving following among the LGBT community. Most supporters are - or should be - familiar with names like Tammy Bruce and Hillbuzz (Kevin DuJan), both openly gay supporters.

In my remarks, I said:

Gov. Palin has a particularly loving following among the LGBT community with well-known names like Tammy Bruce, and Hillbuzz supporting her. My own organization has LGBT members. Gov. Palin’s proven track record of placing the Constitution above her personal beliefs, leading by example and preaching tolerance has earned her this special support.

I met Debra Leible, the Club's Executive Committee Chair. Leible had met Gov. Palin when she was on the set of Saturday Night Live with Tina Fey back in 2008. The Metropolitan Republican Club's history goes back over 100 years. Ruth Baker Pratt - a Suffragette - laid the cornerstone to the club's building in 1929. Several well-known elected officials called the Club home: from NYC's Mayors Bloomberg and Giuliani to NY Governor Dewey, to Presidents Nixon and Theodore Roosevelt. My presentation was for who I hope will be President Palin.

In describing Organize4Palin, I said:

In New York State, Organize4Palin is focused on booklets for distribution at meetings and events. Our Accomplishments booklet is written in English and Spanish. We are hanging wall flyers in supermarkets. We will be conducting a test door-to-door campaign on a small scale with door hangers. We’ve already determined what a door-to-door campaign would cost to canvass all Republicans and Independents in the state in a single door hanger run. We have researched New York State’s laws pertaining to signature gathering for a primary election. Our Orange and Rockland County Coordinator is able to charter buses for rallies and campaign events. While our activities are not high-profile like the early states, we are building membership and laying the groundwork to help bring victory home.

Greg T. Angelo asked me how Michele Bachmann's potential candidacy would affect Gov. Palin's decision to run and if Gov. Palin does not run would she endorse Rep. Bachmann? I responded that Rep. Bachmann was one of Gov. Palin's 81 endorsed candidates last year, 67% of whom won their elections. While discussing endorsed candidates, I said, "Her Take Back the 20 subset resulted in 18 of her endorsed candidates being elected – a 90% success rate." Back to Rep. Bachmann, I said, "she has no executive experience at all. Gov. Palin has nearly 20 years, being a governor, a chair on an oil and gas commission, and a mayor. She also has legislative experience having sat two terms on a city council." I added that I could not speak as to who Gov. Palin would endorse if she chose not to run.

One member asked if I thought Gov. Palin was going to run. "I don't have any special or inside knowledge, but I place the odds of her running at 95% - 99%," I answered.

One of the members expressed concern about what he said was "Sarah Palin's strong negatives" as seen by independents. I asked him to define those "strong negatives." He referenced polling data which suggests that she cannot win a Presidential run. I responded that most of these polls only sample "adults," not registered voters - and that tends to skew the results. I explained that I do not place my faith in these polls. But, I agreed that winning the minds and hearts of independents and Blue Dog Democrats was very important.

I then closed with a question of my own: "What two zip codes in the entire nation donated the most money to McCain-Palin in 2008?" No one was able to answer. "10021 and 10022," I said "or the 73rd and 65th Assembly Districts if you want to go by Assembly District. You are in the heart of Palin country."

The entire room applauded, including the member who was concerned about polling data.

Gov. Palin on "Common": Obama's Judgment Lacks Class, Decency

Obama's judgment in inviting rapper "Common" to a White House poetry reading is "so clacking of class and decency," especially during Police Memorial Week, Governor Palin said tonight in a single segment interview with Martha Maccallum, who substituted for Greta Van Susteren. "Common" produced two rap songs glorifying cop killers and one glorifying the killing and burning of former President Bush. "Common" is also against inter-racial relationships.

Gov. Palin said she is "not proposing stifling free speech," and is not opposed to rap. In fact, Gov. Palin along with Fox's Bret Baier know the lyrics to Sugar Hill Gang's Rapper's Delight, which is in a sub-genre known as "old school." But, Gov. Palin said events at the White House should promote decency and patriotism.

On 2012, Gov. Palin said she is happy Newt Gingrich is running and said he brings substantial experience. She added that 18 months out, it was too early to "throw my hat in the ring."

"We do have strong candidates out there. I look forward to more jumping in. Competition is good. Competition breeds success. The more the merrier," she said. Gov. Palin said she would encourage any candidates who support free markets, energy independence to run.

When Maccallum questioned Gov. Palin about her thoughts on the death of Osama bin Laden, Gov. Palin said she was "very appreciative" that he is gone, but his elimination is only one small aspect of the War on Terror, and while it did occur under Obama's watch and command, it does not make him a stronger candidate for 2012. "Obama has no clue" on free markets, Gov. Palin said and concluded that his views are extremely leftist, almost socialistic. Obama sees government growth as the solution to everything, she said.

Palin Hit Parade is a Bust So Far

The culmination of a failed effort to destroy Sarah Palin is here with the release of four books, the first two or three which already look like duds. Read my post about these miserable writers.

Read Stacy Drake's post about Frank Bailey's book.

Read Gary P. Jackson's blog for great stuff about Sarah Palin.



Listen to Stacy Drake, Gary P. Jackson and I talk about the hit books coming out on Palin tonight at 11pm ET 8pm PT on my Blogtalk Radio Show Patrick's World USA.

Restraining Order against Deranged Palin Stalker Extended 6 Months

An Anchorage judge granted Governor Palin a six month extension of the restraining order against deranged stalker Shawn Christy, of Hazleton, PA, various media reported yesterday.

The judge, however, denied protective order requests placed by the Heaths and Kristan Cole against Christy's parents. Apparently stalking is a family activity in the Christy household, with father and mother Craig and Karen Christy - calling the Heaths 26 times in one day. But, a restraining order was granted to Gov. Palin against Craig Christy for making harassing calls to the Palin house.

Are you confused yet?

Shawn Christy, had been harassing and threatening the Palins and Kristan Cole, and made threats against Obama and Senator John McCain, according to widespread media reports. Christy’s stalking included vulgar calls to Gov. Palin’s home; sending the Palins receipts from a gun purchase and telling them of his intent to purchase a one-way ticket to Alaska. Christy in fact made a brief round trip to and from Anchorage at a cost of $700 around the time of Gov. Palin's birthday.

BIO Channel Orders Bristol Palin Docu-Series

The BIO (Biography) Channel has ordered a 10-part untitled series of half-hour episodes featuring Bristol Palin, Kyle and Christopher Massey, A&E announced today in a press release, and first reported to the Palin support blogosphere by Josh Painter, Texas for Sarah Palin.

"The series follows Bristol Palin’s move from Alaska to Los Angeles with her son, Tripp, to work at a small charity in need while living with her good friends Chris and Kyle Massey. The series is slated to air in late 2011," the release said.

Bristol and Kyle Massey were both contestants on Dancing With the Stars, with Bristol finishing the series in third place.

"Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to," said David McKillop, Executive Vice President, Programming, A&E Network and BIO Channel. "Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she’s opening up her real life, with her son and her friends the Massey Brothers."

O4P California; Meet Val!

Last Sunday in Lemoore, CA Sarah Palin told a crowd of 2,000+ supporters: "California, you have all the pieces to the puzzle"



One of the pieces to the puzzle is Valerie Patterson. Val is a dedicated, hardworking Organize4Palin (O4P) CA volunteer.

Born and raised in Los Angeles Val is known for her photography, art and philanthropy.



Recently, Val created a charity photo book called “The Pink Project,” which helps bring assistance to the fight against sexual assault and breast cancer. The Pink Project includes a foreward by singer Tori Amos.



Val has been donating her talents to O4P CA. O4P doesn't have a lot of extra money to spend on PR firms who design logos, or pay panels of experts to tell us which shade of blue will get more support from various bribable voting blocks.



Why spend money to find out what the people like. We are the people!

O4P CA relies on selfless volunteers like Val who work for love of country, not money.



Everyday entrepreneurial Americans like Val are GOING ROGUE, signing up for O4P, and getting to work with the help and guidance of their state coordinators.

Creativity, determination, and endurance will be needed in the coming days, weeks, months and next two years. All hands on deck.



As Barack Obama is busy fundraising to hold onto his seat; our patriotic army of David's is quietly working, planning, and preparing for the coming battle against Goliath.

We can't afford to let money, false teachings, or misleading worldviews get in the way of saving America.

Oprah may pledge her millions and her propaganda, and the frivolous NEA may pledge their millions and their propaganda; but I'm putting my faith behind loyal volunteers like Val who understand what America is all about.



What talents do you have?

Please join our cause.
