Sarah Palin — accompanied at times by family members — later this month will launch a nine-day, 16-stop signing tour for her new book, “America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag.”
Among the destinations sure to get buzz: Des Moines and Spirit Lake, Iowa.
Palin’s strategic schedule includes a stop in Tulsa, Okla., on “Black Friday” — the day after Thanksgiving — and then four more stops during that big shopping weekend.
The tour has more of a heartland concentration than the 35-city tour for her memoir “Going Rogue” (the best-selling nonfiction book of 2009) and adds such markets as Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The venues include the giant book chains — Borders, Barnes & Noble and Books-a-Million. But the former Alaska governor will also sign books at all-American locations like Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco and Kroger.
Her publisher, HarperCollins, released this description of “America by Heart”: “Framed by her strong belief in the importance of family, faith and patriotism, the book ranges widely over American history, culture and current affairs … America By Heart will include selections from classic and contemporary readings that have moved her — from the nation’s founding documents to great speeches, sermons, letters, literature and poetry, biography and even some of her favorite songs and movies.”
Here’s the list of stops:
Nov. 23: Phoenix
Nov. 26: Tulsa, Okla.
Nov. 27: Norfolk, Neb.
Nov. 27: Des Moines
Nov. 28: Andover, Kan.
Nov. 28: Dallas
Nov. 29: Houston
Nov. 29: New Orleans
Nov. 30: Baton Rouge, La.
Nov. 30: Little Rock, Ark.
Dec. 1: Brentwood, Tenn.
Dec. 1: Lexington, Ky.
Dec. 2: Spirit Lake, Iowa
Dec. 2. Carmel, Ind.
Dec. 3: Cincinnati
Dec. 3: Columbia, S.C.
Cool Andover Kansas. That’ll be my 3rd time seeing her in person in the past 7 months.
Wonderful! Get there early and give us a report!
Sarah Palin is a stupid snowbilly quitter. Doesn’t she know that other candidates don’t get paid to go on a campaign tour, err book tour? Or that you’re supposed to pay big money TO a network to broadcast your campaign commercial, I mean travel show, and not GET big $$ for its broadcast? /end sarc.
Why doesn’t she come to Wisconsin? Our government is Republican and both of our football teams kick @ss.
I was about to spit out my food before I got to your /sarcasm tag!!
In the wake of this conservative reawakening, we are excited to be able to give SarahPAC supporters the chance to receive a signed copy of America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag with each contribution of $100. In this new book, Sarah sheds light on the roots of the faith and values that have shaped her outlook on everything from family to current events and the political world.
The contributions will be used to support our freshly-minted conservative officeholders as well as commonsense conservative candidates in the less visible, but vitally important run-offs, special elections, and off-year races in the coming months and years. Of course, donations of any amount are welcome and greatly appreciated!
In a non-Forest Gump reference: “Run Sarah, RUN!”
