I can’t wait to rush out tomorrow and buy my own DVD of The Undefeated … Meanwhile, Sandra Peppers has some great ideas for hosting viewing parties and more. This is a do-it-yourself effort. Everybody can play a valuable role. As Todd Palin commented on the interview with Steve Bannon last night … he was “blown away” at how much of Governor Palin’s record was covered, and covered well, in just a few short hours.
Guest Submission by Sandra Peppers
I know a lot of C4P peeps and “Palinistas” are disappointed and unhappy that Governor Palin has not announced her plans as of yet and quite a few are tense and frustrated and that is understandable. We have a completely grassroots campaign without a candidate for possibly another few weeks. People that support Mitt Romney or Barack Obama or Chris Christie or Rick Perry, etc. … don’t understand Sarah Palin supporters. They don’t understand the deep commitment and feelings we have towards Governor Palin.
Some have called us nutty or freaks or other names. Remember … I am the one that has had the dream of Sarah Palin’spresidential inauguration for over 35 years …how much nuttier can you get? That is because they don’t understand the kinds of feelings that we have for her or why. Shoot … some of us don’t even know why we have the feelings we do about Sarah … we just do! I think Sarah described one way when she was talking about how a Mama Grizzly feels about her cubs. We feel the same way about Sarah and more. She’s not just a politician to most of us. And the left and some on the right will NEVER understand that. Maybe some people felt this way about JFK, but that was before my time.
Sarah … We are ready to jump in and start with the boots on the ground part. We are ready to get in the ring and start Round 1. We are engaged and want to get to work. We are ready to start making calls and makingsigns. WE are ready to knock on doors and tell people WHY Sarah Palin would make THE best choice for President of the United States of America in2012! But for the moment we have our muzzles on and we are impatiently waiting to be unleashed. We WILL wait for you because there IS no substitute. We will not settle or hold our noses again.
But there IS something that we can do RIGHT NOW! And it doesn’t cost a lot of money.
The following are a few great ideas that WE can use RIGHT NOW to help Sarah whether or not she decides to throw her hat in the presidential ring:
“The Undefeated” comes out on DVD on Tuesday, October 4th! This is THE ultimate weapon we have in our arsenal and we will have the ability to use it in the next few days. Some of us have already DVR’d it and those of us that have, can start even sooner. Buy as MANY copies of the DVD that you can buy. There are two different versions of “The Undefeated”available. The “Exclusive” version that is ONLY available from Wal-Mart….and the “Standard”version that is available from Wal-Mart and other locations like Amazon,etc. The difference between the “Exclusive” and “Standard” versions is the“Exclusive” version has the CD/MP3 audio version of Governor Palin’s book “Going Rogue”. The “Standard”version does not have the audio book.
Buy as many copies of the DVD that you can, even if that’s only one or two. Even if you have only one copy you can still make a difference and havefun doing it. I bought 44 copies of the “Exclusive” version and six copies of the “Standard” version from Wal-Mart. The “Exclusive” version from Wal-Mart is not at this time limited in quantity purchased but the “Standard” version is limited to six copies per person. From Wal-Mart the “Exclusive” is $14.96 and the “Standard” is $12.96. The “Standard” version has free shipping as of today. I paid approximately $2.20 per DVD in both tax and shipping combined. For about a $100 investment you can get five of the “Exclusive” versions of the DVD including tax and shipping.
Once you have your DVDs then you can do a few things. Since I got mostly the “Exclusive” version I am going to take the CD out of thepackage from the DVD and I have a 100 of those old empty CD cases lying around collecting dust and separate some of the CDs and the DVDs. Put a label with YOUR name, email and phone number on the DVD/CD and then ALSO include on thelabel the O4P website, etc. At the bottom of this page I will have a templatethat you can copy and print out. Then loan them out to your friends and familyand neighbors!
I am going to be taking my stack of DVDs and CDs to my next local tea party meeting and loaning them out to the members of our group. I’ve already got several people saying they want to borrow one. Please do not “rent” them out. When you take your DVDs to the meeting and yo uloan them out … ask the person you are loaning it to if they know of someone else that might be interested in seeing the movie. If they do, then ask them to pass it on to them and have them return it to you at the next meeting. You can do this with ANY group you associate with. The Young Republicans or Women’s groups or quilting bee or bowling team … it doesn’t have to be a tea party group.
Ask your group if you can have a viewing of the movie at the next meeting. Or form your own viewing party. Most restaurants have a back room area that they hold baby showers and different kinds of small events in. Find out what you can do to have a viewing party at a local restaurant or pizza parlor. You can order a variety of pizzas or appetizers and drinks and then divide the cost among the viewers. This kind of thing is actually better that Sarah ISN’T an announced candidate. Once Sarah announces … you can’t have a viewing party like this without FEC rules. So it’s important to do this kind of thing sooner rather than later.
Have a small viewing party in your own home if you feel comfortable doing that. Have kind of a potluck deal or dessert sampling … or wine orbeer tasting and view the movie together. This kind of event is better if you know the people you are inviting, of course. You can do invitations and havethem bring someone new kind of like how they used to do Tupperware Parties or Pampered Chef and those kinds of things. There is a LOT of ideas online for these kinds of things.
If you own a business and have a TV in your shop, put the DVD in and let it go throughout the day. Of course not all businesses or locations wouldbe right for this kind of thing. But if you have maybe an auto shop in aconservative state that has a TV in the waiting room…why not play the PGversion of the movie? Now I wouldn’t run the unrated version in adoctor’s office in Berkeleybut I think you can judge whether or not it’s appropriate for your business.
Ask your local beauty salon or day spa to play the movie for the day or while you’re in there. Ladies …it’s the perfect length movie for highlights!!! The holidays are coming up and people will be having get-togethers. Whether good or bad … Sarah Palin is ALWAYS a conversation starter in almost ANY group and it is OUR job to turn the conversation around to her strengths and set the record straight.
Give the separated audio book CD/MP3 to a commuter friend … someone that doesn’t have the time to actually read her book but spends a lot of time in traffic or on the road. Have them pass it on at work. By dividing the CD from the movie you can reach twice the number of people. Bring the audio book to the gym and give it to your workout buddies. The CD/MP3 can be given to just about anybody.
Take pictures of your event and submit them to your O4P group or to C4P or one of the other Palin support websites. My O4P state coordinator, Thomas, is always telling us to take pictures for posting online because “if it’s not on the internet…it didn’t happen”.
Make your own yard signs and put them in your yard and ask your friends and neighbors if you can put a sign in their yard. “Palin 2012” or make up your own sign. The more “homemade” they are … the better! One of the frequent posters here at C4P, John McKenna will give you a free Sarah Palin bumper sticker if you send him a self-addressed-stamped-envelope and you go to his website.
Anything we do to help Governor Sarah Palin helps us. It’s an investment to me. And the libs and establishment GOP will laugh but it’s an investment in the future of our country. We KNOW she’s not owned by ANYBODY! Not a title like REPUBLICAN and all the dues she won’t pay there. We KNOW what she’s going to do on the economy! We KNOW that she is NOT going to be bought by any corporations! And because she isn’t going to be financed by these big donors and bundlers that Rick Perry and Chris Christie and Barack Obama have been talking to … that leaves US! We the People! We don’t need to wait for Governor Palin to announce anything. Let’s send Governor Palin a message by showing her how ready WE are!
Do you have any ideas on how to help now? Please post them in thecomments section or feel free to email me at Org4PalinSolano@yahoo.com.
Here is a template of what you can tape onto your copy of “TheUndefeated” or “Going Rogue” audio book, or you can make you rown. Just copy and paste this into a Word Document or other word processing program.
Organize 4 Palin is strictly a grassroots organization of volunteers. This DVD was NOT paid for by a billionaire or financed by a corporation. I paid for this DVD or CD myself because I believe that Sarah Palin’s message is worth listening to and it is important to me to set the record straight. So PLEASE return this DVD or CD to me so that I can pass it on to another friend. Thank you!
Will she RUN OR NOT?!?
The suspense is killing me. If she does all is well, if not then I'll have to say she'd used us all very ill.
Wouldn’t the best thing to help SP become President be to have her announce her candidacy? Just a thought.
Buy the DVD ping!
Oh Geez - stop using common sense!
While I like parts of the movie, there were parts that were offensive to me and Palin would have been wise to ask Bannon to remove the last 5-10 minutes which did nothing but offend all of us who have worked for years to elect Republicans. They pretty much inferred that the whole Republican party is corrupt and unethical.
Michigan's registration deadline is in November. October 28 (NH) is the first deadline.
‘They pretty much inferred that the whole Republican party is corrupt and unethical.’—
Really? You object to that? Please explain the ones that aren’t corrupt and unethical?
Name 10.
O.k., 5.
Now FR is running commercials? Can we get a T-shirt for an extra $3.99?
Who are you trying to kid? You’ve never had a good word for Palin. If you saw The Undefeated and didn’t come away with a deep respect of how she took on the establishment, then you’re a closed-minded person. Regarding that last 10 minutes of the doc, they were important. It emphasized that both parties are full of scoundrels who only care about power, their power.
Next, you’ll be telling us the title doesn’t make sense.
Why Labor Day weekend, because Tokyo Rove said so?
That should have been a clear giveaway that she should NOT have declared back then.
Yes, please buy the DVD. If they go into a second printing, we will have our trailer for our movie, “Rockin’ the Wall,” on the next shipments!!!
It’s $hit or get off the pot time. Not time to pump DVD sales or raise awareness. I’d love to see her run and compete with the rest of the field to see how she handles it. Right now she’s a great looking, enthusiastic pundit with strongly held personal opinions - just like me. But I’m not gonna run. Is she?
This is not abour getting her to announce —— this is about DVD sales —— $$$$$$$$$.
She has not lead anybody on, she has stated that she was deliberating the issue. Your dissapointment that she does not run does not make her guilty of leading you on.
Take her for her word. Its her choice, and I suspect that it has a lot to do with how Cain preforms in the next ten days. I believe she wants what is best for America, its not about her.
We have a completely grassroots campaign without a candidate for possibly another few weeks.
Or possibly ever. If Palin doesn't get into the campaign soon, will this grassroots campaign turn to another candidate, or will all the work and effort have been wasted?
People that support Mitt Romney or Barack Obama or Chris Christie or Rick Perry, etc. … don’t understand Sarah Palin supporters. They don’t understand the deep commitment and feelings we have towards Governor Palin.
But Ron Paul supporters do, as so do Obama's 2008 supporters. I don't mean that sarcasticly, I mean it as a statement of fact. At this point, the hard core Palinistas, Paulanistas, and Obamaistas look very similar in attitude; "cult of personality" describes all three movements at this point.
Interesting. A "Help Romney" move, if I ever saw one!
Well, since you brought it up, it doesn’t make sense. Palin let the libs in AK defeat her and she didn’t come away the victor in the last election. Thanks for pointing it out.
