Why would I, a 40 year old hockey mom, feel inclined to jump into the political debate, create a website and invest the time and money that it is going to take? Why???? Because FINALLY Americans can relate to a political candidate. When John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate, he scored!!!!
I am excited because not only can we relate to Sarah Palin, but to the entire Palin family. Sarah and Todd Palin are authentic people who experience what the average American experiences day-to-day. Like us, they are a dual income family working to make ends meet, pay their taxes; and to balance the kids, homework, dinner, hockey, soccer, and their marriage. My Husband, Mike, shares this sentiment, saying, “Todd Palin is a guy’s guy. He is someone you can walk up to at the hockey rink and lean against the glass and talk to as you watch your kid’s practice.” The Palins are a family that hold tight to their conservative values. Family first is apparent, America first is obvious. Sarah Palin is pro-life, pro-gun, pro-drilling and pro-tax cuts and pro-America. When you look at an electoral map, the vast majority is “Red” supporting McCain-Palin. The areas of blue are isolated predominantly on either coast. McCain-Palin share the values of the heartland and the vast majority of America!
Sarah Palin is proud to be an American. This quality excites me most about Sarah Palin. She is proud of her country. She realizes that people around the world are clamoring to come to the greatest nation on earth, the United States. Sarah Palin fights for the values upon which this country was founded. She realizes that no other country offers the liberty and opportunity that America does and she does not apologize for that. She realizes that America’s future is dependent upon America’s strength. Sarah Palin know that America’s strength truly lies – not in big government- but in its people.
Sarah’s story is the American story. She grew up in a small rural town. She played sports in High School. She married her High School Sweetheart. She earned her degree from a reputable, Non-ivy League University. She worked as a sports anchor on a small local TV channel. She felt passionate about her community and became involved in local politics seeking to make positive changes in her community. As her spunk, and perseverance became obvious and she rose through the ranks of local politics. She beat the incumbent mayor in Wasilla Alaska in 1996 and was reelected as mayor in 1999. At a time when Alaska’s government was very obviously corrupt and filled with nepotism, similar to the pervasive nepotism in the Washington beltway, Sarah Palin was elected governor in 2006 after defeating incumbent governor Frank Murkowski in the Republican primary and defeating former Democratic governor Tony Knowles in the general election. She was the youngest person, and the first woman, to be elected governor of Alaska. She gained attention for publicizing ethical violations by state Republican Party leaders.
