Gov. Palin's Miami Appearance Postponed

*
Brian Hamacher of WTVJ-TV in Miami reports that Gov. Palin's scheduled Miami appearance at a Liberty & Freedom Foundation (LFF) fundraiser Wednesday has been postponed.

Tickets for the event, which was to have taken place in American Airlines Arena, went on sale in September. Ticket holders can reportedly get a full refund or use their tickets at the rescheduled appearance, the date and time of which has not been announced.

We contacted the Arena ticket office, which verified the postponement. LFF says the reason for the postponement is a "scheduling conflict," but no other event for Gov. Palin on that date has yet been publicly announced. According to a Crowley Political Report post published Sept. 24, the governor will supposedly attend a dinner at The Breakers in Palm Beach, but no date or further details have yet been announced for that rumored event.

An email from Victor Cocchia, executive director of the Liberty and Freedom Foundation, provides additional information and a clarification about the October 6 fundraising event in South Florida featuring Gov. Sarah Palin:

As opposed to the information that was sent out by some unassociated party, it is actually The Liberty and Freedom Foundation (LFF), a non-profit foundation dedicated to educating the electorate about conservative values and principles, that will be bringing Governor Sarah Palin to Miami on Wednesday, October 6th, from 10:30 am till Noon.

The 2008 GOP Vice Presidential candidate will be speaking at the Waterfront Theater, located in the American Airlines Arena, in a lunch time Forum, organized by the Liberty & Freedom Foundation. There Gov. Palin will discuss a number of topics that are important to the people of South Florida, especially in these tough times. Following the Forum there will be a Reception and Luncheon held by the Foundation.

In an effort to make the event available to as many people as possible the Liberty & Freedom Foundation has made the event open to the public, and tickets will be available through Ticketmaster, the American Airlines Arena box office, or people can contact the Foundation for further information at miamiforum@liberty-freedom.org.

The Liberty and Freedom Foundation (LFF), the organization which brought Sarah Palin to West Texas in March, will bring her to Florida for a Miami fundraiser, according a St Petersburg Times report.

An announcement by Sfla Conservative, a local Tea Party group which is partnering with the foundation, is the source of the story:

"Governor Palin is in Miami to raise funds to help elect principled grassroots conservatives," the announcement reads. "You are invited to get involved in this, the most critical midterm election in our Republic's history."
