Governor Palin 4 President

My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that…

Kennewick, WA. - We had the chance to talk with her earlier today at the 6th Annual Turkey Trot and she was full of energy. "This is so encouraging, nice warm reception.  I should have expected it because it's the Tri-Cities, and amazing hospitable people live here, we love it," said Palin.

Sarah Palin was surrounded by hundreds including a handful of supporters from Alaska. The former Vice Presidential candidate has taken a few days off her nationwide book tour to spend her Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends. She has two aunts in town and deep roots in the Tri-City area. "It's awesome, of course we've spent so much time here over all these years.  But it's really, really good to be back and just can't wait to hang out with more of the family and friends today and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner," said Palin.

Thanksgiving dinner was not the only thing to celebrate. The Red Cross had nearly 3,000 registered trotters. Several hundred of those was because of Sarah Palin.  Her appearance helped bring in some big bucks for the non-profit organization. "She did increase participation which is great.  It's a family event and we thank her for that, and we are raising money for the Red Cross," said Pat Mastler, event coordinator for the Red Cross.

The Turkey Trot fundraiser brought in over $45,000 dollars from donations and sponsors. Workers say it broke records.

Sarah Palin will be having a book signing at the Hastings in Richland this Sunday. The signing starts at noon.

Sarah Palin does the Turkey Trot

What started as a small colony in the territory that would eventually become the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has progressed into the greatest and most prosperous nation in history. Americans remain the freest people on earth because of our cherished Constitution and the system of government it establishes. 

We have so much to be thankful for. We should recognize especially the sacrifices made on our behalf by those in uniform. Thousands of Americans will be spending Thanksgiving overseas in combat zones in order to protect our liberty and way of life. We should give thanks to those who willingly put their lives on the line for the rest of us. Where would we be without them?

We are also thankful for what God has granted us. We are truly blessed in America with rich natural resources, plentiful energy sources, fertile land, beautiful cities, and the talented and industrious people we call “our fellow Americans.” We pray that God will continue to bless us. 

In his farewell address to the nation, President Reagan reminded us that “all great change in America begins at the dinner table.” Thanksgiving is an opportunity to discuss where we are as a nation at this moment in our history and where we should be heading in order to remain prosperous and free. Take time to discuss these things with each other, and take time to teach the young people in your family about our nation’s history so that they may never forget all that we have to be proud of and thankful for. 

Happy Thanksgiving!
