Walking the Early States Path to the Nomination

Posted 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. We believe it’s crucial now to get behind O4P’s early state efforts en masse! O4P has chapters in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, and Florida. The path to the nomination will go through these states.

We have a number of ideas as to how the community can get behind these efforts, some of which are underway even now quietly. Most of these don’t cost any money at all, as we are an army of volunteers.  However, other efforts do cost:  advertising to reach other Palin supporters, providing literature on Gov. Palin’s accomplishments to potential voters, and reserving spaces at fairs and events to share information are just a few.

One vitally important way we can together support the early states effort is by donating to Organize4Palin’s Early States Fund. Reaching those early primary states and then spreading that success across the nation will provide Gov. Palin with an organized and strong network of volunteers should she decide to run, as we believe she will.

We have received a generous donation by a long time C4P-er who wishes to remain anonymous.  Our C4P friend was inspired by “Charter’s Challenge” on July 10 to challenge us once again.  For every $100 donated to the Early States Fund, this C4P-er will match that donation, up to a total of $1,000, for donations made through Sunday, August 21.

If you have the ability to do so in these challenging financial times, we urge you to give generously to the Early States Fund! Either way, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you are doing for this great country and in support of a great leader, Governor Sarah Palin. Again, it’s an honor and a privilege to serve with you in this great cause!

P.S. Before we go…anyone want to take a crack at what Gov. Rick Perry must have been thinking when he saw these volunteer placed O4P palm cards? Your help in the early states will place more of these cards in the hands of potential primary voters. Please help now!

Palin is coming, and the Tea Party is coming with her.

O4P (IL) is doing a booth at the IL state fair, & Palin palm cards are going like free chocolate candy. There appear to be only two meaningful sets of boots on the ground here, Palin and Paul. Romney & Cain had a microscopic literature drop and that’s it. I find that intriguing.

We did have one strange encounter. We had a somewhat older woman come in and confuse us with Republican party regulars. She assured us she would never vote Republican unless we promised to support tax increases. Huh? I told her we weren’t able to speak for the Republicans as a whole, that we were just there for Sarah, and that she’d likely support tax cuts. Then she said some nasty things about Sarah and left. The good news is that was just one person wandering into the Republican tent. The bad news is that there are people like that still left out there who are so easily persuaded to vote against their own best interests. It’s been an education, to say the least.
