Wasilla, Alaska.
As I stand here in a high school gymnasium watching freshmen girls'
basketball games, I'm struck by the sight of America's
future right in front of me - these tenacious young women full of energy and intensity.
I want them to realize every opportunity this great, free nation can provide.
There are big political races on the East Coast that are coming down to the
wire - the results of which will impact policies and political actions that
touch all of us in every state.
Like other independent Americans, I don't always see
eye-to-eye with Republican political committees, so when I tell you that the
Republican Governors Association has my complete support and confidence in its
campaign efforts back East, know that I really mean it.
The RGA is helping lead the conservative comeback beginning
this year, and its involvement in the East Coast races is significant. I hope
you'll support these efforts, which are vital to the cause for America's
freedom and prosperity: http://www.rga.org/initiatives/comeback-fund/.
Let's consider the governor's race in New Jersey.
The state has the highest tax burden in the country and the incumbent Democrat
governor has only added to the economic burden. He eliminated property tax
rebates for middle class homeowners while the sales tax increased.
Altogether, taxes on the people in the region have increased
by billions of dollars. It's no surprise that New Jersey
has the highest unemployment rate in the region! Thankfully, there is an
alternative.
Residents there will be better off under an administration
that understands the benefits that result when workers are allowed to keep more
of what they earn. Watch New Jersey's
economy come alive under new leadership that will put government back on the
side of the people! Chris Christie promises this new leadership.
Fortunately, New Jersey's
Democrat governor is being held accountable with the RGA spending $7 million in
the New York and Philadelphia
media markets telling the truth about a liberal administrative record while
highlighting New Jersey's
tax-hiking ways and reminding voters there is an alternative!
The NY and Philly markets are the most expensive in the
nation though, so the RGA is requesting help to stay on the air. Visit http://www.rga.org/initiatives/comeback-fund/.
Then in Virginia, there is a
clear difference between Republican Bob McDonnell and his liberal opponent.
Republican Bob McDonnell is fighting for cheaper American energy and lower
taxes, while his opponent wants to raise taxes and, amazingly, even bragged
about having more earmarks than any other state legislator.
Bob McDonnell promises to fight for Virginia's
hard working families, and he opposes some heavy-handed union leadership
efforts that could ultimately hurt employers and employees. The RGA has aired
$6 million of TV ads exposing the liberal candidate's record. I encourage you
to help fight for our neighbors in the East by visiting: http://www.rga.org/initiatives/comeback-fund/.
Americans who believe in smaller government and free enterprise have a chance
to show Washington that people
all across the U.S.
don't want an ever-increasing national debt, more dependency on foreign energy
sources, and more wasteful government spending.
If, like me, this is what you want to show Washington,
then I hope you'll support Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell and the RGA, as
great efforts are put forth in these East Coast races.
The young student athletes I'm watching right now are counting on us to do the
right thing - to fight for what is right for America
today and into their future. Electing candidates with common sense and respect
for freedom is one way we can fight for what is right.

[Here is Sarah Palin's
endorsement of Doug Hoffman of October 22]
The people of the 23rd Congressional District of New York
are ready to shake things up, and Doug Hoffman is coming on strong as Election
Day approaches! He needs our help now.
The votes of every member of Congress affect every American, so it's important
for all of us to pay attention to this important Congressional campaign in
upstate New York. I am very
pleased to announce my support for Doug Hoffman in his fight to be the next
Representative from New York's
23rd Congressional district.
It's my honor to endorse Doug and to do what I can to help
him win, including having my political action committee, SarahPAC, donate to
his campaign the maximum contribution allowed by law.
Our nation is at a crossroads, and this is once again a "time for
choosing."
The federal government borrows, spends, and prints too much money, while our
national debt hits a record high. Government is growing while the private
sector is shrinking, and unemployment is on the rise.
Doug Hoffman is committed to ending the reckless spending in
Washington, D.C.
and the massive increase in the size and scope of the federal government. He is
also fully committed to supporting our men and women in uniform as they seek to
honorably complete their missions overseas.
And best of all, Doug Hoffman has not been anointed by any political machine.
Doug Hoffman stands for the principles that all Republicans should share:
smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and a commitment to
individual liberty.
Political parties must stand for something. When Republicans were in the
wilderness in the late 1970s, Ronald Reagan knew that the doctrine of
"blurring the lines" between parties was not an appropriate way to
win elections.
Unfortunately, the Republican Party today has decided to choose
a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference
between the Democrat and the Republican in this race. This is why Doug Hoffman
is running on the Conservative Party's ticket.
Republicans and conservatives around the country are sending an important
message to the Republican establishment in their outstanding grassroots support
for Doug Hoffman: no more politics as usual.

supporting his campaign:
