Governor Palin 4 President

Gov. Sarah Palin has signed a book deal with HarperCollins Publishers for what is described as her memoir.
"There have been so many things written and said through mainstream media that have not been accurate, and it will be nice through an unfiltered forum to get to speak truthfully about who we are and what we stand for and what Alaska is all about," Palin said in an interview today in which she announced the deal.
Palin and HarperCollins would not say how much she was being paid. Asked why, the former Republican nominee for vice president said she didn't want to distract from the substance of the book.

"The idea is to focus on the content of the book and what's coming in terms of me being able to tell my story unrestrained and unfiltered," Palin said.
Palin hired Robert Barnett, a Washington, D.C., lawyer who is one of the most powerful figures in book publishing, to negotiate the deal for her memoir. His past deals reportedly include $12 million for Bill Clinton's memoir and an $8.5 million advance for Alan Greenspan.

Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Palin welcomes all U.S. & international Interstate Oil & Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC) members in Anchorage for their midyear conference!
IOGCC and its member states have a well-established history of balancing the production of our nation's oil and gas resources with environmental protection through effective regulation. They are holding their Midyear Issues Summit from May 11 - 13, 2009 thanks to Governor Palin.
The IOGCC analyzes technology and regulatory strategies that will further reduce the footprint of oil and natural gas production. And they feel there is no better location to discuss this topic than in Anchorage, Alaska, -- with a Governor that has put into place successful regulation enabling energy production to coexist with some of the most pristine landscapes and wildlife in the country.
IOGCC meetings, typically attended by member governors and their representatives, federal and state regulators, legislators, and a cross-section of industry representatives, provide an effective forum for government, industry and others to share information and viewpoints, allowing members to take a proactive approach to emerging technologies and environmental issues. The event is sponsored by: Marathon, BP, ExxonMobil, Concophilips, Petroleum News, devon, Enbridge, IHS, Blue Sources & Pioneer Alaska.
