Admires Palin

I had to write this letter to tell the people of Alaska how fortunate they are to have Sarah Palin as their governor.

As I watched Governor Palin through the whole campaign process, I couldn’t help but admire the grace with which she conducted herself throughout the media onslaught. This is a woman who truly loves this country and the freedoms it affords all people. This is a woman who believes government needs to get out of the way and let the people pursue life, liberty and happiness. She knows it’s not the government’s right to redistribute hard-working people’s money. She is one of us and that is what the mainstream media and the Washington, D.C., elite could never understand.

Alaska, be very proud of your governor because many of us mainstream Americans are proud of her and pray that she continues standing up for our country, our beliefs and our freedoms, and that she remains active in politics, as we need more like her.
