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.

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.

EAGLE, Alaska -- Governor Palin landed here Monday afternoon to survey damage from spring flooding caused by ice jams on the Yukon River that pushed water and chunks of ice into town.
Nearby, Old Eagle Village was hit the hardest. Wiped out by the flood, the village remains buried under the crushing ice. The road to town, most of the homes, and the village's church and graveyard are no longer visible.

The homes that can be found are far away from their foundations -- pushed off, tipped, torn apart -- and the crushed and tilted cabins have become angular landmarks on a new landscape carved by the river's force.
The community's health clinic still stands, but is badly damaged. Residents learned Sunday night that the road, also swallowed by the ice, won't be clear any time soon. Because of hazardous materials worries and a desire to not plow through people's personal possessions, the state Department of Transportation is calling for a slow approach. To link the village with the larger and nearby town of Eagle, crews will instead build a temporary road, cutting through the trees and using specialized pads to protect the tundra.

Sarah Palin is indeed poised to not only be the first female President, she is poised to be the next President of the United States.
Governor Sarah Palin is a true American original. She is a self made woman. A strong woman. A woman who has met every challenge in her life head on, and prevailed.
Governor Palin is the very embodiment of the American spirit. She is hard working, down to earth, and very personable. She is also an incredibly driven woman, and a true reformer. Someone who has never let corruption in government slide.

And that’s a point that the author of the latest book about Governor Palin, “Sarah Palin Poised To Become America’s First Female President” makes very, very well. The author, Recaldo Ochoa, a history teacher who focuses on American history and government, proves he knows his subject very well. This is a well put together book on Sarah Palin, and a fun read. It was obviously a labor of love, and a family project, with his son and daughter helping with cover design and illustrations.
Mr Ochoa takes us from Sarah’s earliest days growing up in the Alaskan wilderness, through her days as a reformer in Wasilla, Alaska, to her huge fight against corruption at the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, where she was Chairman, to her continued work in Alaska, as Governor, for a better future.

Mr Ochoa does a good job of explaining just how much skin Sarah had in the game in her fight against corruption at the AOGCC. Few people would have had the guts to take on the entire establishment of the Republican party, many of them friends, as well as the sitting Republican Governor, who appointed her as Chairman of the agency in the first place.
It was pure political suicide, something few would have been able to recover from, and yet, Sarah Palin did so in a very big way. Not only taking down the corrupt administration, but becoming a wildly successful leader, both at home, and across the nation.

I like this book, because it’s an easy read, well thought out, and reveals things many folks may not know. It’s a good primer for someone who doesn’t know a lot about Governor Palin’s early career. Something else that is appreciated, is the author’s own observations and comments. While not heavy handed, Mr Ochoa logically makes the case why Sarah Palin is poised to be not only our first female President, but our next President. He does this as only a great student and teacher of History could.

There are copious notes at the end of the book, to back up what Mr Ochoa asserts. Page after page of references. This will help the reader learn even more about Sarah Palin, and is really appreciated. The bottom line is I enjoyed this book. It would be especially helpful to folks new to Palin’s camp, as well as continued inspiration for us old timers! The book is definitely worth owning. “Sarah Palin..Poised To Become America’s First Female President.” Is available through Amazon.com or at your local bookstore.
