Grassroots for Palin Meeting in February

An e-mail from our Bloggers for Sarah Palin colleague Steve Maloney :

Dear Friends of Gov. Sarah Palin:

Just a reminder: there will be a meeting the evening of February 19, 2010, in Washington, DC, where CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) will be held Feb. 18-20. The pro-Palin meeting will be separate from the CPAC convention. Those in attendance will be people who strongly support Sarah Palin for President.

The purposes of the meeting will be:

(1) to enable pro-Palin activists from around the country to meet one another and discuss strategy and tactics;
(2) to discuss fundraising opportunities for Gov. Palin (mainly through www.sarahpac.com);
(3) to discuss building our organizations;
(4) to get bloggers and other online communicators to work in a coordinated manner.

Other facts about the pro-Palin meeting:

(1) The cost will be about $15 (to pay for room rental) per person;
(2) Perhaps 6-8 people will speak, but remarks will be held to no more than 5-7 minutes each;
(3) There will be a major effort to hold down costs for those attending;
(4) There will be a telephone conference call on approximately Feb. 21 for those unable to attend the DC meeting;
(5) There will be no requirement to attend the CPAC events;
(6) There will be no guidance from "on high" for the meeting -- that, no financing from any political committee or candidate; it will be a pure grassroots effort;
and,
(7) There will be an effort to get all pro-Palin groups represented at the meeting.

God willing, at least one member of the Palin family will attend the meeting. I hope as many pro-Palin activists as possible will be there, including people from Hawaii and Alaska.

Your input is encouraged.

Steve Maloney
