Des Moines Register: Full schedule for ‘Restoring America’ rally

Gov. Palin will speak at about 1:15PM
*
Jennifer Jacobs at the Des Moines Register has more on Saturday's TEA Party Rally featuring Sarah Palin:

A grassy field in Iowa will become the scene of a fiery festival of conservative rhetoric and patriotic music Saturday, while television cameras capture the event for a nationwide audience.

The star attraction, Alaska Republican Sarah Palin, will speak at about 1:15 p.m. at the Tea Party of America’s “Restoring America” rally in Indianola, organizer Charlie Gruschow told The Des Moines Register today.

Palin won’t reveal during the event whether or not she intends to seek the 2012 GOP nomination, CNN’s Peter Hamby reports. But the event falls on the three-year anniversary of her address to the Republican National Convention when she became the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, he notes.

The actual program is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. but bands and vocalists will begin at 10 a.m. to entertain those who arrive early, Gruschow said.

The rally is free and open to the public but parking is $5 a car.

Here’s the schedule of speeches and musicians...

Want Sarah to sign your copy of Going Rogue? Take a number...

Several of the stores which will be stops on the Going Rogue book tour have realized that they have a problem. Sarah Palin will be visiting their shops for a limited amount of time -- usually just a few hours -- but they anticipate more customers wanting to get the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate to sign their copies of her memoir than time will permit. 

To try to avoid long lines and frustrated customers, some of the bookstores will ask customers wanting Palin's autograph to take a number. Books-A-Million, which will host Palin book signings at its retail stores in Birmingham, Alabama November 23 and Jacksonville, Florida November 24, will distribute line numbers for each event on the day prior to the former governor's appearance. Line numbers for the Birmingham event will be distributed beginning at 12 noon on Sunday, November 22, and for the Jacksonville event will be distributed starting at 5 p.m. on Monday, November 23, at each store location.

At the Roanoke, Virginia Barnes & Noble bookstore in Valley View Mall, where the Palin book tour will stop November 22, the store will use a system of wristbands which it will hand out to fans starting at 6 a.m. that morning, says Deanna Lemburg, Barnes & Noble's regional community relations manager. Any customer who wants to have a place in line so Mrs. Palin can sign their copy of Going Rogue will have to have a wristband.

We advise Palin fans who want to get their books signed by Sarah to contact each store on an individual basis to learn how to be assured of securing a place in line. Our Going Rogue Book Tour Schedule, with dates, times and locations, is here. It is being continuously updated as new information is made public.

Update: Plano, TX book signing announced.
