Amy Kremer of the Tea Party Express on now.
She is saying the bickering is unnecessary, and we need to support each other.
Don't back down because of negativity of some.
If you don't like what another group is doing, ignore them
We have one chance, and the time is now
We need to stick together.
Today is Ronald Reagan's 99th birthday!
Oh he’s listening. I don’t think the Alaska thing will be that big.
Buzz builds for Palin
###
Conservative activists, some with buttons promoting a Sarah Palin-Glenn Beck 2012 presidential campaign, lined up hours ahead of Palin’s keynote address to the National Tea Party Convention here, scheduled for 8 p.m. local time (9 p.m. Eastern), as organizers announced the former Alaska governor will take pre-screened questions for 15 minutes after delivering her prepared remarks.
Convention organizer Judson Phillips said questions were submitted by users of Tea Party Nation, the social network that shares a name and owners with the company that is putting on the convention.
Phillips, the president of Tea Party Nation, said the questions had been selected by his wife Sherry Phillips.
He said they decided against questions from the audience because “we didn’t want anybody to get up and filibuster or in the off chance anyone would say something” offensive to Palin.
Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton said Palin hasn’t seen the questions in advance.
She said Palin, who traveled to Nashville with her daughter, Piper, and two staffers, would speak for 45 minutes before answering the pre-screened questions.
Nancy Bunting, a retiree from Hilton Head Island, S.C. who attended the convention with her husband Bob, said Palin is “part of the reason why we’re here.”
When Phil Valentine, a Nashville radio host serving as emcee as the crowd files into the banquet room where Palin will speak, asked the audience whether they were ready to see her, they erupted in applause.
Earlier Saturday, Palin pre-taped an interview with Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace.

“Palin shouldn’t have quit her one real leadership position.”
If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t be free to make speeches like this without the media whining about her “ignoring Alaska,” and some idiot suing her for not working seven days a week.
That's because she feels it in her heart...you can't teach that at Harvard.
We don’t need a 3,000 page Health care bill !!
She’s delivering some great tag lines.
Heck I had no idea she even “messed up” that line til I came on here. I think Alaska is that shining city on a hill. It’s a beautiful place to live
drill baby drill!!!!!!!!!!!!DRILL BABY DRILLE
Oh, fiddlesticks!
Drill Baby Drill !!
I think she’s going out of her way to be talking with, rather than at, the tea partiers in her delivery. More conversational than usual.
Yes, she should have remained a lame duck governor, so she could go bankrupt because of the bogus ethic charges against her and then she would have faded back into the Alaskan night.
/sarc, heavy sarc
God has put Sarah EXACTLY where she should be, “for such a time as this”!
Sarah is in a much larger leadership position Now
You got it Baby ...........DRILL !!
Thanks for the info.
Q and A session to follow.
Interesting.
They probably have Toastmasters in Alaska.
I think she was on a debate team or two along the way.
That was hilarious! Despite a few hitches, she comes off as a real, down-to-earth person who has common sense, instead of the AA teleprompter robot who got to be TOTUS while 53% of Americans were asleep at the wheel.
Thanks.. following her speech here & watching my Cavaliers..
I am too addicted! I am hoping the speech will be on YouTube or elsewhere.
Any figures on how many are at the convention? I really wanted to go but as usual my $$$ purse had moths!
How much is she being paid for this speech? Bachmann backed out from this event.
