Moms for Sarah Palin

A friend posted this on Facebook and it was so great I had to share it. According to the YouTube description the poster doesn’t know who this lady is but if anyone should find out please let us know.

It seems every other day that you see another poll about who will be the GOP nominee for 2012.  Most show Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich as the front runner and Sarah Palin close in 3rd place.   I don’t know about you but I always wondered who these people are that the pollsters talk to.   I have never been asked for my two cents which is a good thing because if someone called me they’d probably get twenty bucks worth.

At any rate I decided to gauge the front runner in another way…  Facebook!

Here are the top three and how many people follow them.

Mitt Romney    445,389

Newt Gingrich    62,559

Sarah Palin    1,900,454

Now who is the front runner?  Even if one generously cut Palin’s number in half for haters and the media,  while giving Romney and Gingrich 100% of their followers assuming they are all “friendly”,  Palin still comes out on top!

It took us long enough but we now have a Facebook page.  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moms-for-Sarah-Palin/142105152473015?v=wall

I know I’m showing my age but I remember when the boogieman lived in Russia. Growing up I felt we didn’t know much about what went on behind the Iron Curtain. I knew that growing up I heard stories of how people that had to wait in lines for food or even for toilet paper. We learned that these peoples’ jobs, houses, lives were chosen for them. That they didn’t have the choices that we had. It presented us with a clear contrast of what it was to be an American. How if we failed it was up to us to try again. We grew up being told we could be whatever we wanted.

The children, teens and even young adults don’t know about what we knew about. With the fall of the Berlin Wall people gained their freedom and I’m thankful that I got to witness that piece of history. When the wall came down though we lost our constant reminder of what it was not to be free. Ronald Reagan told kids in his farewell address that if your parents aren’t telling you what it means to be an American to call them on it. Now we as parents need to call ourselves on it and teach our kids what a truly wonderful place America is. Because if we don’t teach them someone else will teach them differently.

It’s all about moms and grandmas rising up to take our country back and make it the best place on Earth for our little ones.
