This is a proud day for Republican Women everywhere and I know that personally I couldn’t be prouder of Sen. John McCain’s Choice for Vice-President.

Governor Sarah Palin is a true Republican Woman and a leading voice for genuine conservative values. A mother of 5 and a professional in her own right, Gov. Palin has made GOP history as the first Woman ever nominated for Vice-President.

Find out more about Governor Sarah Palin.

Below are some of the facts on Gov. Palin that have been forwarded to us from our Parent organization TFRW:

• Governor Sarah Palin is a tough executive who has demonstrated during her time in office that she is ready to be president.
• She has brought Republicans and Democrats together within her Administration and has seen approval ratings of over 80 percent.
• She has challenged the influence of the big oil companies while fighting for the development of new energy resources.
• She leads a state that matters to every one of us — Alaska has significant energy resources and she has been a leader in the fight to make America energy independent.
• She has actually used her veto and cut budgetary spending. And she put a stop to the bridge to nowhere that would have cost taxpayers $400 million dollars. In Alaska, she challenged a corrupt system and passed a landmark ethics reform bill.
• As the head of Alaska’s National Guard and as the mother of a soldier herself, Governor Palin understands what it takes to lead our nation and she understands the importance of supporting our troops.
• Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington.
• In choosing Governor Sarah Palin, John McCain put Washington on notice that he is serious about shaking up the status quo.
• What we’re seeing is a maverick who has shaken up Washington picking as his teammate a maverick governor who has shaken up her own state.
• What it’s going to take to change Washington is a team of Mavericks who have a record of accomplishment in shaking up the status quo.

“Texas Republicans are thrilled with Sen. McCain choice’s of Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. Principled and fearless, Gov. Sarah Palin is an accomplished woman, successful conservative leader and loving mom. Gov. Palin is a servant leader who has the courage and conviction to reform government in Washington, D.C. and make it accountable to the people. With a commitment to finding common sense solutions to America’s challenges, the McCain-Palin team will truly shake-up the status quo, bring discipline back to Washington D.C., and secure a better future for America.”

Why does this matter to our Presidential election? Because Barack Obama voted against a bill that would stop this insane practice when he was in the illinois state senate.

His was a voice of conservative reason and he served the President well as the White House Press Secretary.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and their children.

Obama=Poor Judgement…
If Barack Obama is elected it is possible that four Supreme Court Justices could be selected during his tenure.

Do you trust him to select Supreme Court Judges?

Obama’s Words
When asked what criteria Obama would require when selecting judges he said,
“We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that’s the criteria by which I’m going to be selecting my judges.” – Barack Obama, To Planned Parenthood, July 17, 2007

Remarks of Senator Barack Obama on the Confirmation of Judge John Roberts
“Truly difficult cases” should involve “one’s deepest values, one’s core concerns, one’s broader perspectives on how the world works, and the depth and breadth of one’s empathy.” September 22, 2005

The Supreme Court Oath
According to Title 28, Chapter I, Part 453 of the United States Code, each Supreme Court Justice takes the following oath: “I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

NFRW’s Words
A Supreme Court Justice is to “do equal right to the poor and to the rich”-not just the poor as Obama believes.

A Supreme Court Justice is to, “administer justice without respect to persons,”-not taking into account if that person is “African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old,” as Obama said.

A Supreme Court Justice is to, “be impartial,”-not talking in to account “one’s deepest values, one’s core concerns, one’s broader perspectives on how the world works, and the depth and breadth of one’s empathy,” as Obama said.

Barack Obama does not honor the Supreme Court Oath and its intent. Do you trust him to select Supreme Court Justices?

THINK ABOUT IT!…

A different point of view for those who believe ‘Everything bad is George W Bush’s fault’ to consider….

 In just one year… Remember the election in 2006 ?

Thought you might like to read the following:

 

A little over one year ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet;

2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;

3) Unemployment up to 5% (a 10% increase);

4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);

5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;

6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

Remember it’s Congress that makes law, not the President. He has to work with what’s handed to him.
