Palin gets 1,070+ invitations By: Mike Allen August 31, 2009 08:50 AM EST

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin this week will begin accepting and rejecting the more than 1,070 invitations she has received for paid speeches and political appearances since she resigned as Alaska governor, aides said.

Twenty speakers’ bureaus made offers to represent her. She has signed with Washington Speakers Bureau, which represents everyone from George and Laura Bush to Bob Woodward and Katie Couric to Alan Greenspan, Colin Powell and Rudy Giuliani.

More than 950 requests for speeches have poured in for Palin, and over 120 candidates for office have asked her to appear, including folks running for Senate, House and state legislature, aides said.

Palin will be doing both paid speeches, which are expected to go for six figures apiece, and unpaid speeches for political and charitable causes, including Christian organizations, groups that support families with special-needs children, and military families.

“...and over 120 candidates for office have asked her to appear...”

Do the RIGHT thing, Sarah. No support to RINOs. NONE! Do us proud. :)

Too many RINOs for her to even keep up with.

I do not, at this time, support Sarah Palin for a presidential run. However I really hope she makes a lot of well deserved money on the speakers circuit, remains a voice for conservatism and is generally a pain in the ass to the left.

Ah...I love the smell of cold Democrat sweat in the morning.

Memo to all Libtards: Barracuda is tic’d, hungry and on the loose. May the hunt begin. No Quarter given, no quarter taken.

May Sarah provoke these lowlife statist until they fall down lifeless and exhausted.

I hope the speaking engagements will be locked down. The media is trying to drum up the story - and I cannot tell whether it is based in fact or not - that she is a flake. All those on and off again acceptances and non-appearances. Those stories will hurt her with the not-so-commited supporters. Truth is overtaken by perception and perception becomes the truth.

How does signing with a company that also represents RINOs makes her a supporter of RINOs?

That's like saying you support illegal immigration because you got a job at a construction company that employs illegals.

Now all the people who complained that she "couldn't keep commitments" or falsely accused her of backing out can eat crow. Once the resignation died down and she spent time with the family I knew she was going to pore over her invitations.

Those who support her know the real deal and those who don't are going to hate her no matter what.

Sarah is the only Republican with Vision AND Charisma.

Perhaps she is our Deborah.

Of interest, considering yesterday’s discussion about perhaps using a speaker’s bureau and how to deal with the bogus announcements. Looks like someone from Sarah’s team put out the word to nip any potential confusion in the bud.

I would wait and take the Politico article with a grain of salt.

Here is a link to the search results from Wash. Speakers Bureau. Do you notice something. No mention of Sarah Palin as a client.

Calm down. I was trying to say that she probably doesn’t need to keep away from RINOs because she’ll be busy enough with the rest in priority order.

Wow!

She’s about 85 percent finished with her book, due out this spring from HarperCollins. Then she’ll begin looking through the inch-and-a-half-thick file her lawyer, Robert Barnett, has built of offers for network and cable pundit gigs, documentaries and business opportunities.

Palin has made no commitments so far, and Washington Speakers Bureau will start responding to the invitations this week.

All event requests must be confirmed with Meghan Stapleton of SarahPAC. Additionally, all invitations bearing the Governor’s name must be approved by her attorney before proceeding. Thank you. Meghan Stapleton

Just a reminder for the "Sarah Palin backed out of a speech crowd."
