For Immediate Release

John McCain Selects Alaska Governor Sarah Palin As Vice Presidential Running Mate

ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain today announced that he has selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate and to serve as his vice president.

Governor 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 a record of delivering on the change and reform that we need in Washington.

Governor Palin 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.

In Alaska, Governor Palin challenged a corrupt system and passed a landmark ethics reform bill. She has actually used her veto and cut budgetary spending. She put a stop to the “bridge to nowhere” that would have cost taxpayers $400 million dollars.

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.

Governor Palin has the record of reform and bipartisanship that others can only speak of. Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington today.

  1. It's amazing how they distorted all that you mentioned above.
    I still spend a good amount of time trying to correct the record to the voting masses online.
    Everyday though, I chip, chip, chip away at the false perceptions the media, the left, and some on the right tried to paint.
    With all of our efforts, it's working because they built their house on a stack of lies and the people are finally understanding that they have been lied to. Once they know that, they start to do all of their own research...Slowly they see just how many lies were created.
    God bless this blog for getting the truth out there. Here's to hoping the future is much brighter than the one Obama and his ilk are trying to give us.
