Please tell me who was the last Gov. from Alaska to be invited to Auburn hhhhmm for founders day I am proud to live in Auburn and very proud of its history but Palin is i think using this as a Pub. stunt

I guess most people do not like the fact she cut wasteful spending 800 million in 2 years,took over a state with budget short falls in good times,ended backroom deals between oil executives and gov officials, by making them public,put many corrupt officials in jail,ended up with extra billions from renegotiating old questionable energy deals.Saved 7 billion in good times, for times like right now.Ended state income tax,property tax ,sales tax.Has 350 million in place for weatherization programs, that gives rebates,(a reason why she does not want DC energy funds for this, could be they allready do this big time,Dc = red tape new rules and delays, they would love to cause, her states programs)has millions reserved for energy rebates, to help with heating costs this comming winter.Wants an instate cng pipeline to end dependence on that oil, in many communities.Has 100s of millions set aside for renewable energy, and are now investing in renewable energy sources, to help her remote communities.She prepayed her states entire education budget 2 years in advance,negotiated the largest pipeline deal in American history.Has this year reduced her states spending again by 30% to help keep her states taxes the lowest in America.Sends out rebates an in the range of 2000, to every man woman and child in her state each year.Has cut federal earmarks by 50%,has just approved pay raises for teachers,is fighting to enrich a local native band by allowing the openning of a new gold mine.Just got her obstructionist legislature to remove all strings on the stimulus money,to prevent having to keep these fed programs going when the funding runs out. Which could of forced her to consider tax hikes(she originally only wanted funds for job trainning, cng pipeline infrastructure(which benifits all Americans down the road)funds for a millitary base, and a university research ship. Her legislature which only passed 8 of over 400 bills she wanted last session(one a 50,000 per year pay raise she opposed,another of the 8 to name a dog)whinned like the babys they are so she made a deal to remove the federal strings before accepting the additional funding.It is strange how ever since last fall, they all seem to want to do nothing,They complaine she travells to much, yet she travells way less than previous govenors did.Seems the old corrupt guard and others who fear her in the lower 48 really want her to fail.Alaskas unemployment rate is 8%,in march,but it is construction,tourism,fishing season,other industrys pick up the pace spring summer and fall up there,so watch it drop. Especially with the extra projects she is doing this summer.As the liberal media the left and moderate beltway republicans all join forces to attack her with ridicule and personal attacks on her and her family,she answers them with comments to the lies,but to those in her own party she refuses to comment,I remember in 1976,a man being attacked by the liberal msm,mocked as a has bein actor,he only went to community college,he speaks and answers questions funny,everyone in the beltway and msm told us to forget about this actor,well when they said stop listenning, we started to listen, as they laughed at him.You might remember what happened in 1980 and 84,this man Palins political hero Ronald Reagan,said republicans shouls never ridicule or personally attack those within their own party,he felt it in 76.A golden conservative rule so many republicans,so called conservative pundits,TV talk show hosts,have forgotten.Sarah has kept this rule,she answers them with a respectful silence.She does carefully limit where she appears.Any conservative who holds the values,who grew up admireing Reagan,who governs trying her best to follow his example,who can face their onslaught and keep going,is very special.As they attend their banquets and cocktail partys,eat laugh live high on the hog,ridicule her with scorn,a person millions of us can totally relate to,like we did with Reagan.We listen for her words.I do not care what dress her party buys her,if her daughter made a mistake and got pregnent,if she worships God the devil or a stone on the ground,I would gladly vote for her.

Please go back to Alaska and don't come back! The people of Alaska deserve your attention...not your pandering for your 2012 run. Especially because you'll never get within 1000 miles of the white house.

I have gone from being a skeptic of Gov. Palin to now believing more and more she is who we need in the oval office in 2013.

I am hopeing cnn livestream covers this event and her speach,her Evansville right to life speach was, and it was great.Like her or do not like her, she has done many things that if you learn about, are great to see.Get ready for the oncomming flood of leftys, who never stop attacking her, and her family.They really cant stand her, and thats why I like her.Wish I could go watch her speak in person.Well Auburn NY,one day I swear we will come visit your town.
