The Truth Will Out

Remember the ridiculous reports of a McCain "adviser" supposedly in the know about Governor Sarah Palin's purported knowledge gaps? The MSM seized on that report as convincing evidence to bolster their hysteria that Palin was totally unqualified (and — horror! — unvetted).

Then you'll be interested to know the rest of that story ... here's a summary of the reality.

Anyone eager to applaud MSNBC's "fact-check" department? No, I didn't think so.

Post-Mortem On Election 2008

Over at WorldNet Daily, Kimberly Fletcher, President and Founder of Homemakers for America, offers an assessment of the election. As a volunteer in the battleground state of Ohio, Kimberly's experience underscores what most of us already knew: Sarah Palin was anything BUT a drag on the Republican ticket ... with all due respect to war hero and failed Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain, Governor Sarah Palin singlehandedly resuscitated a lackluster campaign struggling for its final breaths.

Rich Galen summed it up this way: "McCain was going to lose this race whether Sarah Palin was the VP nominee or ... St. Paul was the nominee."

Ignore the smack the unnamed "McCain staffers" are dishing at Sarah Palin. Conservatives have a bright future and Sarah Palin will no doubt be among those leading the charge. Next time she runs, she won't be carrying someone else's water.

Ignorance Carries A Hefty Cost

I'm not a great fan of Howard Stern, but I appreciated his willingness to air this clip. With the election now part of history, we can look back in amazement at how well-informed some voters were. (Please forgive my sarcasm.)

Thomas Jefferson said it well: "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."

What more needs to be said?

Obama campaign cuts off WFTV after interview with Joe Biden

"Biden so disliked West's line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate's wife.
'This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election,' wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign. " Read More

"She asked if I was an Obama supporter, to which I replied, 'No, I don't support him. Your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the state Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time.' (And then) I hung up."

ACORN Vegas Office Raided in Voter Fraud Investigation

"'Some of them used nonexistent names, some of them used false addresses and some of them were duplicates of previously filed applications,' Walsh said, describing the complaints, which largely came from the registrar in Clark County, Nev."

"Secretary of State Ross Miller said the fraudulent registrations included forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team."



"In 2006, ACORN also committed what Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed called the 'worse case of election fraud' in the state's history."

"In the case, ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration forms, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake." READ MORE

The Future of the Family is At Stake

This video speaks for itself. If the press toward same-sex "marriage" succeeds, parental decision-making will be circumscribed by the State.

Parents who view their childrearing as a God-given stewardship potentially could be viewed as "enemies of the State." Is this a future for the Family that you envisioned?

Let's Talk Qualifications

Here it is almost three weeks since Senator McCain made the stunning announcement Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin would be his running mate. The initial excitement may have subsided somewhat, shifting our attention to the troubled economy.

But the naysayers are still out there, and they will continue their monotonous drumbeat that Governor Palin is simply "not qualified" to be the proverbial heartbeat away from the presidency. Every time Sarah speaks, she demonstrates her mettle and validates John McCain's confidence in her abilities. The Wall Street Journal - Online offered the following rebuttal to those critical of Sarah's resumé.

RUNNING ALASKA

One rap on Sarah Palin's qualifications to be Vice President is that she governs one of our least populated states, with a budget of "only" $12 billion and 16,000 full-time state employees. On the other hand, it turns out that the Governor's office in Alaska is one of the country's most powerful.

For more than two decades Thad Beyle, a political scientist at the University of North Carolina, has maintained an index of "institutional powers" in state offices. He rates governorships on potential length of service, budgetary and appointment authority, veto power and other factors. Mr. Beyle's findings for 2008 rate Alaska at 4.1 on a scale of 5. The national average is 3.5.

Only four other states -- Maryland, New Jersey, New York and West Virginia -- concentrate as much power in the Governor's office as Alaska does, and only one state (Massachusetts) concentrates more. California may be the nation's most populous state, but its Governor rates as below-average (3.2) in executive authority. This may account in part for Arnold Schwarzenegger's poor legislative track record. The lowest rating goes to Vermont (2.5), where the Governor (remember Howard Dean) is a figurehead compared to Mrs. Palin.

In Alaska, the Governor has line-item veto power over the budget and can only be overridden by a three-quarters majority of the Legislature. In 1992, the year Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton was elected President, his state budget was $2 billion and among the smallest in the country. Compared to that, Sarah Palin is an executive giant.

I Am Sarah Palin

When John F. Kennedy uttered his historic words "Ich bin ein Berliner" in 1963, he used these words to declare US solidarity with Berliners (and by extension the entire German people). The speech resonated among freedom-loving Germans who were experiencing Communist oppression and living behind an almost impenetrable Berlin Wall.

Today, I offer a new phrase ... "I Am Sarah Palin." With these words, I declare solidarity with the 2008 Republican nominee for Vice President. I am a Christian. I am a wife (to one man for 39 years) and mom (of 4) and grandmother (of 5). I am a pro-life, pro-gun, small government, lower taxes, free enterprise-loving conservative. And, from time to time as the need required, I have stood toe-to-toe against the status quo (though never from high-profile positions like mayor or governor).

I Am Sarah Palin. I have a lovely (and loving) Down Syndrome niece who turned 20 last Spring. I've also heard the words "Mom, I'm pregnant" coming from my 16 year old daughter's mouth, becoming a grandmother for the first time before my 43rd birthday. I Am Sarah Palin.

Across the nation, there are women who see themselves in Sarah Palin. Every hateful, critical or dismissive comment, rumor and innuendo making its way through the old media, the leftist blogosphere, and late-night comedy routines will backfire because many women in so-called "flyover" land identify with Sarah Palin. On November 4th, we will vote. Our votes will demonstrate the truth: I Am Sarah Palin.

UPDATE: The speech is over and people are pumped. The genuineness of Sarah Palin continues to resonate, and she has struck a familiar chord others are echoing. Check out this link.

Energy Guzzled by Al Gore’s Home in Past Year Could Power 232 U.S. Homes for a Month

“A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home,” said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. “Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption.”

Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less. A Real Change Campaign to Lower Your Gas Prices

Help us keep fuel prices low by signing the Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less petition today!

(Fayetteville, AR)--The Arkansas Federation of Republican Women today encouraged Arkansans fed up with soaring gas prices to express their support publicly for more domestic energy production. Those interested can sign the petition "Drill here. Drill now. Pay less." at www.AmericanSolutions.com, a site directed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
"Say 'yes' to problem-solving, say 'yes' to taking action," Britton said. "Sign the petition to demand change on energy production. We've already waited too long and Americans are paying the price for it now. This petition will soon be presented to members of Congress and Americans need to let their leaders know that we're in a crisis and that higher taxes on oil companies and further restrictions on production are the exact opposite of what we need."
Britton notes that liberal politicians in Congress have consistently blocked access to America's energy reserves: "We have 10 billion barrels of oil in ANWR. We have 20 billion barrels off our shorelines. And we have 1.2 trillion barrels in the oil shale of the Rocky Mountain West. Let's fuel our needs while at the same time creating thousands and thousands of good-paying U.S. jobs at a time when those are critically needed.
"American families feel crushed by weeks and weeks of record-high gas prices," Britton said. "We aren't just talking about cutting back on travel plans; some families are cutting back on food purchases. We have to take action immediately to explore and develop American energy sources in order to bring prices down. There's no quick fix, of course, and we have to continue our efforts at conservation and alternative energy sources but we have to accept that, for now, we depend on traditional energy sources and we need to do much more to take advantage of the resources that we have right here in our own country."





We need to call Senator Blanche Lincoln 202-224-4843 to tell her NO on the Warner-Lieberman energy bill then call Senator Mark Pryor 202-224-2353 and tell him the same! Here is why!http://www.afrw.net/warnerlieberman.htm

A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high

3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase)
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate(stock and mutual fund losses)
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure

No Judicial candidate has asked for the endorsement or support of the Arkansas Federation Of Republican Women.

We apply the wisdom of Ronald Reagan; "Trust but Verify", and "Don't be afraid to see what you see".



Judicial candidates are required to run non-partisan races not bipartisan races!
Voting for a candidate in a non-partisan race makes our task of electing conservatives to the bench complicated and difficult but not impossible. We can look at the candidates past history, their actions and words.

"Negative Campaigning Tarnishes The Judiciary"

Media Advisory

"Ron Williams says that negative campaigning tarnishes the Judiciary"

Rogers, AR – This weekend democrats throughout the seven (7) counties that make up the 3rd District Court of Appeals received a mail piece from Courtney Henry that states Ron Williams is engaging in “partisan politics” and suggests that Ron’s tenure on the Court would be marked by “partisanship, activism or radicalism”. Ms. Henry goes on to highlight a quote from John Brummett which ties Ron to “a cabal of Hutchinsons and Holtists”. See attached mail piece.

Ron Williams has not engaged in partisan politics and to suggest that Ron would engage in partisanship, activism and radicalism from the bench is absurd. More importantly, Ron Williams rejects this type of negative politics in a judicial race because it tarnishes the judiciary.

Ron Williams has represented thousands of clients during his 33 year legal career and knows how important it is that the citizens respect the integrity and impartiality of the judges hearing their case. This is especially true when an individual is required to accept a negative ruling from the Court.

Negative campaigning in a judicial contest only gives citizens more reason to question the integrity and impartiality of the Courts.

In response to the negative mail piece, Ron Williams stated, “I have made a decision that nothing is worth tarnishing the very office I seek through the use of negative campaigning. When candidates for judicial office begin running their campaigns like typical politicians, judges will end up with the same approval ratings as typical politicians. We cannot afford to have our judiciary tarnished to such a degree.”

Ron went on to explain his thought process by saying, “If Ms. Henry wins this seat, I don’t want individuals before the Court of Appeals questioning her integrity and impartiality based on anything I might have said during the campaign. I hope Ms. Henry feels the same way.”
