She may not be an official candidate at this point, but former Sarah Palin will hit the airwaves in Iowa on Monday, and it’s not going to cost the former Alaska governor a dime. Tea Party of America -- a recently created group that is hosting a Palin-keynoted rally in the south-central Iowa town of Indianola on Sept. 3 -- is launching a major radio blitz in the nation’s first voting state to promote the prospective GOP presidential contender’s attendance at the event. Charlie Gruschow, a co-founder of the group who confirmed the ad buy to RealClearPolitics, said anyone interested...

Walking the Early States Path to the NominationPosted on August 19 2011 - 10:53 AM - Posted by: Karen Allen Dear Friends,We are profoundly grateful for the commitment, hard work, and insight of the C4P and O4P community who are working across the nation to support the values and leadership of Gov. Palin.  This is truly a team effort, as we work alongside each other, pounding with boots on the ground and fingers on the keyboard.  We are fortunate to serve with you and to know you.Recently, we’ve received requests asking how to help in the most time critical efforts....

Of all current or former governors among the leading candidates for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, no one’s record of dealing with his or her state’s debt and unfunded liabilities compares with that of Sarah Palin during her three fiscal years at the helm in Alaska. The following analysis examines the growth of total debt outstanding and total liabilities, both on an actual and per capita basis, for Alaska under Sarah Palin, Massachusetts under Mitt Romney, Minnesota under Tim Pawlenty, Texas under Rick Perry, and Utah under Jon Huntsman. Total Debt Outstanding Of the five governorships examined, Alaska under Palin...

I had a fun and productive weekend at Westfair (Pottawatamie County, Iowa). O4P was out in force and it was the ONLY candidate to have a booth at the event.

MASON CITY — Toni Hagen of Mason City will be hostess for three showings Saturday of a new political film, “The Undefeated,” which promotes former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. The film had its premiere in Pella last month with Palin in attendance. Hagen, a volunteer with a grassroots effort called Organize4Palin, has an advance copy of the film for private screenings and will be showing it at her home in Mason City at 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and 6 p.m. Saturday. To RSVP for one of the showings or to find out more about...

On C4P, the following comment was posted on today's open thread. Artgal says: July 16, 2011 at 9:20 am About three weeks ago, the word came down through Arizona Organize For Palin that a screening of The Undefeated would take place in Phoenix. We literally had five days to get the word out – and we did. A handful of us activists immediately began inviting community leaders, activists, radio hosts, reporters, church leaders, etc. and in a matter of days, we packed the screening room. Last night, we learned that the 7:45 showing our group attended had sold out and...

O4P CA; “The Undefeated” Opening Day Ground Report Posted by ThomasSSchmitz on Jul 18, 2011 in California, Featured | Comments Off There were times these last 3 weeks where it felt like we were trying to make some fish and a couple loaves of bread go an awful long way.But 3 weeks of: boots on the gound, fingers on the keyboard, and good old fashioned volunteerism paid off big time this weekend! Victory Film Group’s The Undefeated opened on Friday July 15, 2011 and ended up having an average gross of $6570 per theater. If that wasn’t enough to...

Although most political analysts have written off the possibility that Sarah Palin will run for president in 2012, a group of diehard Palin fans-turned-amateur political activists of Organize4Palin are convinced that the 2008 vice presidential candidate plans to throw her hat in the ring. RealClearPolitics' Scott Conroy reports today that the grassroots volunteer network is still trying to lay the groundwork for a Palin 2012 presidential campaign, particularly in Iowa, home to the first-in-nation caucuses. It is unclear just how many Organize4Palin volunteers are on the ground, but the group reportedly has a presence in the majority of Iowa's 99...

PELLA, Iowa -- Last December, Michelle McCormick penned a letter to Sarah Palin, addressed it to her political action committee, and dropped it in the mail. McCormick didn't harbor much hope that she would get a response, but about three weeks later she received a personal reply from Palin. Six months later, McCormick now spends every weekend in the nation's first voting state of Iowa attending GOP Central Committee meetings, collecting names of activists in counties across the state, and doing other volunteer organizing in advance of a Palin presidential campaign that she considers inevitable. [.....] Last Tuesday in Pella,...

As some of you might recall, my first column featured Sarah Palin. I wrote a piece featuring her resumé and highlighting a few of her accomplishments. That column attracted the attention of Myrna Beeber a regional manager for Organize4Palin, a grassroots database of volunteers building connections and ready to campaign if Palin runs for president. Myrna contacted the Organize4Palin Iowa Coordinator Peter Singleton and set up lunch between the three of us. We dined at A&G Steakhouse and had a compelling conversation regarding the former governor and the organization they represented. Only a few weeks after our lunch did I...

In the wake of the official premiere in Pella, Iowa, of her biographical film "The Undefeated," former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is still keeping people guessing. "Will she or won't she?" Run for president, that is. The fact that the question is even asked should contain within it an answer. But to further elaborate, Nicole Coulter (no relation to Ann_Coulter) offers "Six Clues Palin is Running for President." The clues are: "1 -- For what reason would Mrs. Palin insert herself into the 2010 election cycle? Why go out of her way to 'endorse' local candidates all over the United...

If you can help or have ideas as to how to help make the Pella event a successful one, contact Peter Singleton at Organize4Palin at iowa@organize4palin.com.Here is what he is looking for: We are looking for folks who will help during the afternoon, during the showing itself–as there will be plenty of people continuing to arrive–and during the cookout. There are a number of volunteer roles which we are working out now. The bottom line is go to Pella, Iowa if you can go to Pella, Iowa on Tuesday. I understand that there is a dispute as to the significance...

O4P NY Meets Staten Island Young Republicans by Ron Devito on Wednesday, May 18, 2011 16:50 EDT “Governor Palin galvanizes her supporters. It’s only the leftists and the RINOs who find her ‘polarizing’, because she’ll upset their little apple carts,” I said at a Staten Island Young Republicans meeting held in an anteroom of Canlon’s Restaurant last night. I had secured the group’s invitation to speak about Organize4Palin and its New York State operations. Young Republicans is the oldest political youth organization in the United States having been around since 1859. The 152-year-old organization is divided into state and...

Palin 2012? Game on! Posted on May 15 2011 - 10:05 PM - Posted by: Karen Allen How about a little Organize4Palin roundup? I admit to not showing our hand much, and believe me, that’s very hard to do when I so badly want to brag on Governor Palin’s passionate and hardworking supporters. Below are some excerpts and examples of Gov. Palin’s boots on the ground. Keep in mind that these are just a few…Organize4Palin has its game on and GRRRR on across the nation.Today, The Des Moines Register posted an article entitled, “Who’s likely in for the straw poll,”...

As many of you know, Palin for the most part--other than the occasional foreign trip or Facebook post countering the Obama agenda-- has gone dark these past few months, up until her speech in Madison this weekend. Pundits have claimed that she isn't running because she hasn't kissed the rings of GOP insiders from New Hampshire or Iowa, despite reports that her people have been talking to local tea party groups. I will now make the argument, that Palin's 2012 campaign is soon to begin or is at least is all but confirmed. I will briefly begin with some of...
