I created this webpage to publish letters of support for Republican Vice Presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin. I want everyone to write a brief letter of support in the comments and I will publish them as a post. After a short time I will send them to Gov. Sarah Palin.
Now get busy.

Letters To Gov. Palin
Gov. Palin,
I want to encourage you to continue to fight the vicious attacks on you and your family. Stay strong for America and we will stay strong with you.

Governor Palin,
Your appointment as John McCain's vice presidential running mate has been a source of great enthusiasm among many of us who have been supporting John McCain all along.
The attacks of the left are obviously out of their own fear of what you bring to the McCain-Palin ticket, to the Republican Party and to our country. I know that you will handle these attacks with strength, grace and dignity which is more than they deserve.
Please know that you have the support and admiration of the majority of Americans even though our voices are rarely, if ever, heard through the main stream media outlets.
We look forward to hearing more from you and getting to know you and your beautiful family better.Thank you for your willingness to serve, even under the hostile conditions the left has subjected you and your family to.

Gov. Palin,
You've got more executive experience than Obama, Biden, or heck even McCain! You faced down the Soviet threat while Governor of the great state of Alaska, which is something no other governor of any state would claim to have done. You single-handedly cleaned out the corruption of your state and made drilling for oil a possibility again.
Now you're going to be a grandma! I am so happy for you and how you raised your children to do the right thing.Do not listen to the angry left. Face them down like you faced down the Russian missles and migs that you are sworn to protect Alaska from. You will be our next VEEP and our next POTUS after that!

Dear Governor Palin -
My family is excited about your appointment as John McCain's running mate. You are someone many real women can relate to. Although the media's attack on you and your family is dispicable, you must realize that they are desperate and having nothing else to do. You have the liberals scared. They don't know how to handle a conservative successful woman! I will keep you and your family in my prayers - keep strong!

Hi there Gov. Palin
Until you entered this race, I must admit I was basically voting against Obama. Now I can say that I very much support the McCain/Palin ticket. I appreciate your leadership in Alaska and all you bring as a conservative woman to the national ticket. I am very sorry that the moonbat leftists are so rabidly attacking your dear family and you. Please know for every attack, there are many many of us who stand with you shoulder to shoulder.
Stand tall Sarah.

Governor Palin,
As you ready yourself to give the speech tonight, please remember this:
As Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain exclaimed when he was out-manned, yet rallied his troops with a text-book maneuver that turned the tide of Gettysburg and saved the battle and quite possibly the Union:
“Stand firm, ye boys from Maine, for not once in a century are men permitted to bear such responsibility for freedom and justice, for God and humanity, as are now placed upon you.
“So stand firm, lady from Alaska, for not once in a century are women permitted to bear such responsibility for freedom and justice, for God and humanity, as are now placed upon you.God bless you and your family.
God bless the USA!

Governer Palin:
I just want you know, I have NEVER been this excited about an election. You have inspired me and I am so sickened by the attacks on you and your family and whatever I can do, I WILL DO to get you and Senator McCain elected. PLEASE, stand tall and continue to be strong and tough. We are with you 1000%

Governor Palin,
Thank you for accepting the unenviable task of running for public office. Please demonstrate through your campaign conduct that independent women are not a monopoly of one political party. Please fight to prevent the backsliding of woman’s rights to keeping those who are ‘troublesome’ locked out of positions of power.
I thought the suffrage wars were over but apparently, if a woman does not toe the correct political line they must be destroyed.

Gov. Palin,
You are giving young girls such a wonderful example of how to be a conservative woman, living your dreams while standing firm in your values. I think that God looks kindly on a nation that treats human life as a blessing. Keep being the caring, no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is person you are known to be! Having a down-to-earth vice-president in the WH is going to be fun - and drive Nancy Pelosi crazy!!

dear gov PALIN,
IN THE WILD YOU HOLD YOUR GROUND FROM WILD ANIMALS, YOU DO NOT SHOW ANY FEAR ,TO THE LOW LIFE JACK--S. THE FIGHT HAS JUST STARTED.
GOOD LUCK FROM A NEW YORK REP.

YOU ROCK!
You have rejuvenated this soul.
I can't write anymore or it will turn into a book!
Thank you.

Governor Palin,
Bless you for accepting the challenge before you. As a 52 year old, I've seen my share of elections, but I do not recall anywhere near this level of energy and excitement for the Republican ticket. Ignore the liberal media, and know you have a family of millions here for your support.

Gov. Palin,
I, too, am a 44 year old father of a special needs child. My wife and I applaud your dedication and your efforts.
The attacks from the Left demonstrate precisely how effective you have shown yourself to be, and how frightened they are of your abilities. Sen. McCain would never have selected you if he had any doubt in you.
Stay the course!

Ever wonder why Satan only attacks Christians making a difference? May God protect you as you undergo this time of trial. Our family will be praying tonight and in the future for you and your family.
...............................................................
Gov. Palin and Senator McCain:
I have never been so excited to vote for a ticket as this one (the "POW/WOW" ticket)Please stand firm against the attacks you will receive, and if you are forced to respond, do it with grace and wit.

Just a few comments for Gov. Palin:
Don't give inDon't back down
Never surrender
Your honor, character, principles, and faith have made you a woman that millions of men and women in the US, and around the world, will admire. Do not allow yourself to be bullied, by politicos of any stripe, by the campaign staff, by the media, by voters. Your value is in the person you ARE, not who we want you to be.Trust in God, in your family, and know that you have the prayers and support of one more individual.
God Bless-
Katie
............................................................................
Governor Palin,
The Democrats are running scared. That, (as I'm sure you know) is what is behind all these attacks on you and your family. Americans, especially women, are becoming more and more indignant by the way you being treated.
I have no doubt that you will weather this storm with the strength and grace you have shown throughout your career. Millions of Americans are behind you, and enthusiastically rooting for you.
Good luck on your speech tonight, (I know you're going to knock it out of the ballpark)and Godspeed.
Nicedeb
........................................................................
Governor Palin,
I just want to say that you are great American and an inspiration. I want to encourage you to keep up the good fight and don't let the attacks from lesser people get to you. Me and my family will be praying for your success.

It's like Christmas. Thank you for accepting. And thank you and your family for suffering through this dispicable media onslaught. Normal people love you and are disgusted and furious with the way you're being treated. Hang in there, you have far more supporters than you realize.

Well, it looks like the inspiring historical quotes have been taken. Let me just say that you should not give up. The attacks will probably get worse, but that's only because your opponents are desperate.
Okay, "Retreat? Hell, we just GOT here!" does sound like a good response to the jackals whispering about you stepping down.

Dear Governor Palin,
I have never been so proud to be a Republican. I am sickened by how you are being treated by the media, and my heart aches for what your family is going through. Please know that I will do anything, anything to help get you elected. Stay strong, and thank you for making this enormous sacrifice for our country.

Gov. Palin,
Thank you so much for agreeing to run with John McCain. Friday's announcement gave me goosebumps that have yet to go away! I truly believe deep in my heart that you and John are about to embark on a journey that will change this country forever. I'm so glad that John picked a running mate of such outstanding caliber as yourself and I am so excited to be witness to these great days ahead.

I have NEVER been this excited about an election or a candidate in my life - and I have voted in more than a few presidential elections.
Good luck and good hunting on the campaign trail the next couple of months and know my prayers are with you and your family. Truth will out - stand proud, ignore the noisemakers and lead, lead, LEAD!
Honestly, if I had a tail right now I'd be wagging it.

Governor Palin:
Thank you. Thank you for having the integrity to take on corruption, even in your own party. Thank you for living "family values" and "character" in a way that so many seem unable to understand, or even comprehend. Thank you for bringing these traits back into the political arena, where they have sadly been absent for too long. Thank you for being such a stark contrast to the "Other Side" by living what they have only paid lip service to. You have my support as well as my gratitude.

You were born for this moment, you are meant to be here. Never give in and never give up.
You and your family are in our prayers.

Thank you Governor Palin for accepting Senator McCain's offer of becoming his Vice President of the United States! Knowing how tough the liberal media would be on you and your family and still making the decision to run shows a courage and resolve that inspires and energizes all the true Americans in our great natioin. Your business acumen and problem solving ability is so need by our country. You remind me of the great British leader Margaret Thatcher who cut through all the crap and got to the truth. No what the mainstream liberal media attacks you with know with no uncertainty that the REAL people of the greatest country in the world appreciates your efforts and will back you with our votes and prayers. GOD BLESS YOU with capital letters Governor.
......................................................................
Gov. Palin,
may i won't agree with you 100% but keep on going. Ignore all the smears coming from Obama camp aka the press. I'm a great fan of John McCain and with you addition to his ticket I think he has a real chance to win. Sadly i can't vote for John and you since i'm not an American (I live in Italy)....but i want to tell you that you have a fan here in Italy. I visited Alaska some years ago and I think it's one of he most beatiful states.
Thanks

Governor Palin,
I was so very happy that you were chosen to be the running mate of Sen. McCain. I thought your first speech was the end of the road for Obama/Biden. Apparently they did, too, and that gave rise to the incredible attacks on you and your wonderful family. Please know that the majority of the citizens of this great country are going to be on your side, and that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Be strong for us. We love you and your family.

Governor Palin,
I would like to offer you my sincerest congratulations on your historic nomination. Personally, I have been "talking you up" as the only logical choice for the "Maverick's" VP since June, and am delighted that you will be our party's VP nominee.
I'd also like to offer you encouragement, empathy, and support as you fight the scurrilous assertions of the mainstream media. They have focused on you carefully, and while the public deserves to learn all about you; the media has devoted more time and effort to vetting you than they have in the last year and one-half for Senator Obama. Indeed, I would bet money-BIG MONEY- that there are more reporters in Alaska, feverishly looking for the most trivial anecdote, than there are in Chicago researching Mr. Obama. While no one is surprised at the behavior of the biased mainstream media, they have been particularly crass, cynical, and vile in their invective over your surprise nomination.
You can believe me when I say that I personally will do all I can to refute any of their vile talking points at every opportunity that I have. And, I know that all of us regular folks throughout the nation are with you, and your family, and eschew the scandalous reports of the press.Governor, you are our nominee; and ALL loyal republicans are excited and support your candidacy. We know that you will remain strong in the face of false assertions and make your case before the American people. And, if you simply show them your down to earth, accomplished, strong, intelligent, and competent side, I am convinced that we will be referring to you as "Madam Vice President" on January 20,2009!
All of our love, prayers, support, and best wishes,God Speed and Good Luck,
Sincerely,Bob and Theresa Reed

Governor Palin,
Thank you for stepping up to the National Stage. America needs needs your strong, ethical, leadership and experience. Senator McCain made the perfect choice of a partner, someone who leads by example, someone with strength of conviction, someone with a strong moral backbone. He chose you, a real person like us, not a fabricated personality that was crafted by a political machine. We see that and roar with approval and gratitude! The people of America has a candidate in this race, Not just the ruling parties, and we are overjoyed!
Ignore the venom and lies - we see them for what they truly are, impotent ramblings of the deranged as they see their carefully crafted web of illusions disintegrate under the bright light of truth.Don't give an inch, they are quaking in fear.
God bless and strengthen your family, and God bless our great country.

Proud is not a big enough word for what I feel about Sara Palin as a VP candidate for our party and our nation. I am praying, cheering and supporting her campaign financially. In my 65 years I have never seen the media frenzy we are witnessing... it is like a public stoning... All Americans should be ashamed of this. After what we witnessed the media do to Hillary Clinton... are we going to stand for one more woman to be knocked down by the press. If the press had been honest all along about what they KNEW about John Edwards... Obama would not have been nominated because Edwards support would have gone to her. Now we have a media determined to crucify another woman... they are more interested in smut and sensationalism than the price of gas, the economy or jobs. They stink... Sara Palin and her family are a breath of fresh air from the real world, the middle class world.

Hi, Governor.
I believe you will do a wonderful job as Vice President. Afterward I believe you'll do an even better job as the first woman President of the United States.No need to wrap in the mantle of Reagan. You can create a new mantle!Palin 2012!
.............................................................
Governor Palin,
Please carry on! Your presence on the national scene is a breath of fresh air.The "politics of personal destruction" diminishes us as a nation. I believe that a McCain/Palin victory in November will end the practice by proving decisively that it fails. For the first time, at age 41, I will volunteer to support a political campaign.You and your wonderful family have my complete admiration and support.

Honorable Governor Palin,
Stay the course!First, you give many Americans the secure feeling that here is someone like me, that knows what I'm going through, and will work hard to make our lives just a little bit better.Second, when you battle through all of the muck to election day, you'll show all the muck-throwers just how strong you are - and give all of us hope and determination to do the same in our own lives.You have already been and inspiration! Keep it up.Stay the course!

Governor Palin,
I have spent most of a week now becoming more and more impressed by the day with John McCain and the brilliance he displayed in his Vice-Presidential selection, exposing the left as vicious fools, isolated by their own mindset and unable to attract anyone except well-fed, well-dressed wussies, yet able to come perilously-close to power. If this is how John McCain will protect our nation from our fellow Americans, it almost makes you feel sorry for the fate he'll inflict on our nation's enemies.
May God be with you for the most difficult two months of your life (and, of course, be with you afterwards). I do not envy the courage and strength you'll have to muster, but everything I know about you indicates you have that courage and strength. Do not falter, and we can almost guarantee McCain/Palin's victory this November.
Even if, by some miracle, the Republican ticket loses, McCain's choice leaves an eminently-qualified young woman to succeed him on a national stage, which will benefit his party, his principles, and his nation in the long-term. As I say, it's brilliant. Governor, *you* are the change we've been waiting for. Because you're awesome.

I am a SAHM of four young boys and I do indeed feel great pride in our country. My husband and I are doing our best to develop that loyalty and pride for America on to our sons. I am in awe of your courage and accomplishments. I am enraged at the operations of the left. Please know countless Americans are standing up for you because you are standing up for us. I know my patriot father would vote for you. Stay strong and by all means go all pitbull on those smug lying $#@^&*!

We are so very excited to have you on the ticket..! Keep up the good work and don't let the leftists in the press and democratic party get you down. We're not paying any attention to it.. These guys are really over-playing things and actually driving people to you.
We love the fact you're so normal--a wife, a mom, someone with governing experience, you like to hunt, you have a son in the Army, you're an expecting grandmother and you have a baby with Down's... I think that's what's driving the other side nuts plus the fact you tell it like it is and mean what you say...You have our prayers and best wishes and also our strong support.
.......................................................................
Dear Governor Palin:
You're the most exciting political choice I believe I have ever seen in my life. If you are elected, it will change politics in the United States for the better and help beat back the insidious Leftism that's turning us into a 3rd-rate totalitarian state. Our children and grandchildren will be better off. Please stay strong. We are behind you and will not abandon you.

Dear Sarah,
Do you mind if I call you that? I feel like I know you because we have a lot in common. We are both mothers of wonderful children, in my case one son who is "normal" and one son who has a genetic abnormality. Like your beautiful children, my kids are loved, wanted, and terrific just the way they are.We are also both professionals juggling careers and family life, hopefully in a manner that does God's will.
You have been given a great opportunity and a great burden. I pray for your strength to make a difference in this election and in Washington. We need you and God bless.

You remind me of Queen Esther who risked her life to get help to save her people from destruction. Her uncle told her: For just such a time as this you were born.When this campaign gets rough(er) please remember that you are held up by the prayers of millions of loyal Americans. All the strength you need will come to you. I admire your husband for the part he is playing in this amazing venture and I commend him and your children to God's care. You are all an amazing family. May God use you mightily. May the genuine love you have within your family so well up that it floods out over the bitter, vengeful hearts of those who oppose you, and that the love will heal them inside. Then, out of bad will come good.

......................................................
Governor Sarah Palin,
I became aware of you when your name surfaced in a short list of those considered for John McCain's VP nomination in March. Since then I held out hope that you would be the one picked; as a 'C'onservative first and a small 'r' Republican, I was lethargic in support of Senator McCain. There's a lot of ill feelings held by Conservatives toward Senator McCain, and we Conservatives felt left out of this party...again. All of that changed last week, when you were given the nod. You've singlehandedly energized the Conservative base; those of us who were actually considering a protest vote for Bob Barr or writing in Minnie Mouse or whoever as a protest vote.
So, you have to ride this one out. You represent the future of the party. Please, please stick with us; you're our only HOPE!
Thanks,
Serr, Smyrna, Tennessee

I support John McCain and Sarah Palin. I refuse to allow the leftwing to insult a good family. I think the problem with the liberals they are afraid that family values,God and country will be back in style. Stay strong stick to your convictions. Gov Palin you are a source of pride to every working mother and woman.
.........................................................................
Dear Governor Palin,
I first became aware of your accomplishments when I visited Alaska in March, 2007. I was very impressed then and have continued to follow your career. When I first heard that you might be among the possible choices for Senator McCain's running mate, I thought it would be a great idea, but I didn't really expect it to happen (too good to be true!). And then when I heard the announcement that you were chosen, I was ecstatic!
Your speech tonight was awe-inspiring. I know that you and Senator McCain will take Washington by storm.

Dear Gov. Palin,
Last week, I had the exciting opportunity to tell my 10-year-old stepdaughter when she got home from school that Senator McCain had selected a terrific, intelligent, and family-minded woman to be his running mate for the presidency. Thank you for providing me with this chance to show her what women are completely capable of, and that the sky is now truly the only limit. I recently gave birth to my only biological child and, at the age of 40, I had to address the very real possibility that he would be born with some form of defect or disability. To date, none is present, but my husband and I had many conversations with "big sister" about why we would love this beautiful child no matter what - and, because of our values, abortion simply was never an option for this family. When I shared with her how you and your husband have capably and lovingly embraced your sweet, "special needs" baby boy, the first thing she said was, "Now, THAT'S someone I would vote for!" And, for our family and especially for her, you are someone I will vote for, with great pride..........

As Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain exclaimed when he was out-manned, yet rallied his troops with a text-book maneuver that turned the tide of Gettysburg and saved the battle and quite possibly the Union:
“Stand firm, ye boys from Maine, for not once in a century are men permitted to bear such responsibility for freedom and justice, for God and humanity, as are now placed upon you.
“So stand firm, lady from Alaska, for not once in a century are women permitted to bear such responsibility for freedom and justice, for God and humanity, as are now placed upon you.God bless you and your family.
God bless the USA!

I just want you know, I have NEVER been this excited about an election. You have inspired me and I am so sickened by the attacks on you and your family and whatever I can do, I WILL DO to get you and Senator McCain elected. PLEASE, stand tall and continue to be strong and tough. We are with you 1000%

Governor Palin,
Thank you for accepting the unenviable task of running for public office. Please demonstrate through your campaign conduct that independent women are not a monopoly of one political party. Please fight to prevent the backsliding of woman’s rights to keeping those who are ‘troublesome’ locked out of positions of power.
I thought the suffrage wars were over but apparently, if a woman does not toe the correct political line they must be destroyed.

Gov. Palin,
You are giving young girls such a wonderful example of how to be a conservative woman, living your dreams while standing firm in your values. I think that God looks kindly on a nation that treats human life as a blessing. Keep being the caring, no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is person you are known to be! Having a down-to-earth vice-president in the WH is going to be fun - and drive Nancy Pelosi crazy!!

Bless you for accepting the challenge before you. As a 52 year old, I've seen my share of elections, but I do not recall anywhere near this level of energy and excitement for the Republican ticket. Ignore the liberal media, and know you have a family of millions here for your support.

I, too, am a 44 year old father of a special needs child. My wife and I applaud your dedication and your efforts.
The attacks from the Left demonstrate precisely how effective you have shown yourself to be, and how frightened they are of your abilities. Sen. McCain would never have selected you if he had any doubt in you.
Stay the course!

Just a few comments for Gov. Palin:
Don't give inDon't back down
Never surrender
Your honor, character, principles, and faith have made you a woman that millions of men and women in the US, and around the world, will admire. Do not allow yourself to be bullied, by politicos of any stripe, by the campaign staff, by the media, by voters. Your value is in the person you ARE, not who we want you to be.Trust in God, in your family, and know that you have the prayers and support of one more individual.
God Bless-
Katie

Governor Palin,
The Democrats are running scared. That, (as I'm sure you know) is what is behind all these attacks on you and your family. Americans, especially women, are becoming more and more indignant by the way you being treated.
I have no doubt that you will weather this storm with the strength and grace you have shown throughout your career. Millions of Americans are behind you, and enthusiastically rooting for you.
Good luck on your speech tonight, (I know you're going to knock it out of the ballpark)and Godspeed.

I truly believe deep in my heart that you and John are about to embark on a journey that will change this country forever. I'm so glad that John picked a running mate of such outstanding caliber as yourself and I am so excited to be witness to these great days ahead.

Thank you. Thank you for having the integrity to take on corruption, even in your own party. Thank you for living "family values" and "character" in a way that so many seem unable to understand, or even comprehend. Thank you for bringing these traits back into the political arena, where they have sadly been absent for too long. Thank you for being such a stark contrast to the "Other Side" by living what they have only paid lip service to. You have my support as well as my gratitude.

Thank you Governor Palin for accepting Senator McCain's offer of becoming his Vice President of the United States! Knowing how tough the liberal media would be on you and your family and still making the decision to run shows a courage and resolve that inspires and energizes all the true Americans in our great natioin. Your business acumen and problem solving ability is so need by our country. You remind me of the great British leader Margaret Thatcher who cut through all the crap and got to the truth. No what the mainstream liberal media attacks you with know with no uncertainty that the REAL people of the greatest country in the world appreciates your efforts and will back you with our votes and prayers. GOD BLESS YOU with capital letters Governor.

Gov. Palin,
may i won't agree with you 100% but keep on going. Ignore all the smears coming from Obama camp aka the press. I'm a great fan of John McCain and with you addition to his ticket I think he has a real chance to win. Sadly i can't vote for John and you since i'm not an American (I live in Italy)....but i want to tell you that you have a fan here in Italy. I visited Alaska some years ago and I think it's one of he most beatiful states.
Thanks

I was so very happy that you were chosen to be the running mate of Sen. McCain. I thought your first speech was the end of the road for Obama/Biden. Apparently they did, too, and that gave rise to the incredible attacks on you and your wonderful family. Please know that the majority of the citizens of this great country are going to be on your side, and that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Be strong for us. We love you and your family.

Governor Palin,
I would like to offer you my sincerest congratulations on your historic nomination. Personally, I have been "talking you up" as the only logical choice for the "Maverick's" VP since June, and am delighted that you will be our party's VP nominee.
I'd also like to offer you encouragement, empathy, and support as you fight the scurrilous assertions of the mainstream media. They have focused on you carefully, and while the public deserves to learn all about you; the media has devoted more time and effort to vetting you than they have in the last year and one-half for Senator Obama. Indeed, I would bet money-BIG MONEY- that there are more reporters in Alaska, feverishly looking for the most trivial anecdote, than there are in Chicago researching Mr. Obama. While no one is surprised at the behavior of the biased mainstream media, they have been particularly crass, cynical, and vile in their invective over your surprise nomination.
You can believe me when I say that I personally will do all I can to refute any of their vile talking points at every opportunity that I have. And, I know that all of us regular folks throughout the nation are with you, and your family, and eschew the scandalous reports of the press.Governor, you are our nominee; and ALL loyal republicans are excited and support your candidacy. We know that you will remain strong in the face of false assertions and make your case before the American people. And, if you simply show them your down to earth, accomplished, strong, intelligent, and competent side, I am convinced that we will be referring to you as "Madam Vice President" on January 20,2009!
All of our love, prayers, support, and best wishes,God Speed and Good Luck,
Sincerely,Bob and Theresa Reed

Governor Palin,
Thank you for stepping up to the National Stage. America needs needs your strong, ethical, leadership and experience. Senator McCain made the perfect choice of a partner, someone who leads by example, someone with strength of conviction, someone with a strong moral backbone. He chose you, a real person like us, not a fabricated personality that was crafted by a political machine. We see that and roar with approval and gratitude! The people of America has a candidate in this race, Not just the ruling parties, and we are overjoyed!
Ignore the venom and lies - we see them for what they truly are, impotent ramblings of the deranged as they see their carefully crafted web of illusions disintegrate under the bright light of truth.Don't give an inch, they are quaking in fear.
God bless and strengthen your family, and God bless our great country.

Proud is not a big enough word for what I feel about Sara Palin as a VP candidate for our party and our nation. I am praying, cheering and supporting her campaign financially. In my 65 years I have never seen the media frenzy we are witnessing... it is like a public stoning... All Americans should be ashamed of this. After what we witnessed the media do to Hillary Clinton... are we going to stand for one more woman to be knocked down by the press. If the press had been honest all along about what they KNEW about John Edwards... Obama would not have been nominated because Edwards support would have gone to her. Now we have a media determined to crucify another woman... they are more interested in smut and sensationalism than the price of gas, the economy or jobs. They stink... Sara Palin and her family are a breath of fresh air from the real world, the middle class world.

Hi, Governor.
I believe you will do a wonderful job as Vice President. Afterward I believe you'll do an even better job as the first woman President of the United States.No need to wrap in the mantle of Reagan. You can create a new mantle!Palin 2012!
.............................................................
Governor Palin,
Please carry on! Your presence on the national scene is a breath of fresh air.The "politics of personal destruction" diminishes us as a nation. I believe that a McCain/Palin victory in November will end the practice by proving decisively that it fails. For the first time, at age 41, I will volunteer to support a political campaign.You and your wonderful family have my complete admiration and support.

Honorable Governor Palin,
Stay the course!First, you give many Americans the secure feeling that here is someone like me, that knows what I'm going through, and will work hard to make our lives just a little bit better.Second, when you battle through all of the muck to election day, you'll show all the muck-throwers just how strong you are - and give all of us hope and determination to do the same in our own lives.You have already been and inspiration! Keep it up.Stay the course!

Governor Palin,
I have spent most of a week now becoming more and more impressed by the day with John McCain and the brilliance he displayed in his Vice-Presidential selection, exposing the left as vicious fools, isolated by their own mindset and unable to attract anyone except well-fed, well-dressed wussies, yet able to come perilously-close to power. If this is how John McCain will protect our nation from our fellow Americans, it almost makes you feel sorry for the fate he'll inflict on our nation's enemies.
May God be with you for the most difficult two months of your life (and, of course, be with you afterwards). I do not envy the courage and strength you'll have to muster, but everything I know about you indicates you have that courage and strength. Do not falter, and we can almost guarantee McCain/Palin's victory this November.
Even if, by some miracle, the Republican ticket loses, McCain's choice leaves an eminently-qualified young woman to succeed him on a national stage, which will benefit his party, his principles, and his nation in the long-term. As I say, it's brilliant. Governor, *you* are the change we've been waiting for. Because you're awesome.

My father was a Marine who fought on the front lines of three wars. (Bronze medal & two Purple Hearts) He raised me and my brothers to love America. He now rests in a veteran's cemetery. I am a SAHM of four young boys and I do indeed feel great pride in our country. My husband and I are doing our best to develop that loyalty and pride for America on to our sons. I am in awe of your courage and accomplishments. I am enraged at the operations of the left. Please know countless Americans are standing up for you because you are standing up for us. I know my patriot father would vote for you. Stay strong and by all means go all pitbull on those smug lying $#@^&*!

We are so very excited to have you on the ticket..! Keep up the good work and don't let the leftists in the press and democratic party get you down. We're not paying any attention to it.. These guys are really over-playing things and actually driving people to you.
We love the fact you're so normal--a wife, a mom, someone with governing experience, you like to hunt, you have a son in the Army, you're an expecting grandmother and you have a baby with Down's... I think that's what's driving the other side nuts plus the fact you tell it like it is and mean what you say...You have our prayers and best wishes and also our strong support.
.......................................................................
Dear Governor Palin:
You're the most exciting political choice I believe I have ever seen in my life. If you are elected, it will change politics in the United States for the better and help beat back the insidious Leftism that's turning us into a 3rd-rate totalitarian state. Our children and grandchildren will be better off. Please stay strong. We are behind you and will not abandon you.

Dear Sarah,
Do you mind if I call you that? I feel like I know you because we have a lot in common. We are both mothers of wonderful children, in my case one son who is "normal" and one son who has a genetic abnormality. Like your beautiful children, my kids are loved, wanted, and terrific just the way they are.We are also both professionals juggling careers and family life, hopefully in a manner that does God's will.
You have been given a great opportunity and a great burden. I pray for your strength to make a difference in this election and in Washington. We need you and God bless.

All the strength you need will come to you. I admire your husband for the part he is playing in this amazing venture and I commend him and your children to God's care. You are all an amazing family. May God use you mightily. May the genuine love you have within your family so well up that it floods out over the bitter, vengeful hearts of those who oppose you, and that the love will heal them inside. Then, out of bad will come good.

Governor Sarah Palin,
I became aware of you when your name surfaced in a short list of those considered for John McCain's VP nomination in March. Since then I held out hope that you would be the one picked; as a 'C'onservative first and a small 'r' Republican, I was lethargic in support of Senator McCain. There's a lot of ill feelings held by Conservatives toward Senator McCain, and we Conservatives felt left out of this party...again. All of that changed last week, when you were given the nod. You've singlehandedly energized the Conservative base; those of us who were actually considering a protest vote for Bob Barr or writing in Minnie Mouse or whoever as a protest vote.
So, you have to ride this one out. You represent the future of the party. Please, please stick with us; you're our only HOPE!
Thanks,
Serr, Smyrna, Tennessee

I support John McCain and Sarah Palin. I refuse to allow the leftwing to insult a good family. I think the problem with the liberals they are afraid that family values,God and country will be back in style. Stay strong stick to your convictions. Gov Palin you are a source of pride to every working mother and woman.
.........................................................................
Dear Governor Palin,
I first became aware of your accomplishments when I visited Alaska in March, 2007. I was very impressed then and have continued to follow your career. When I first heard that you might be among the possible choices for Senator McCain's running mate, I thought it would be a great idea, but I didn't really expect it to happen (too good to be true!). And then when I heard the announcement that you were chosen, I was ecstatic!
Your speech tonight was awe-inspiring. I know that you and Senator McCain will take Washington by storm.

Dear Gov. Palin,
Last week, I had the exciting opportunity to tell my 10-year-old stepdaughter when she got home from school that Senator McCain had selected a terrific, intelligent, and family-minded woman to be his running mate for the presidency. Thank you for providing me with this chance to show her what women are completely capable of, and that the sky is now truly the only limit. I recently gave birth to my only biological child and, at the age of 40, I had to address the very real possibility that he would be born with some form of defect or disability. To date, none is present, but my husband and I had many conversations with "big sister" about why we would love this beautiful child no matter what - and, because of our values, abortion simply was never an option for this family. When I shared with her how you and your husband have capably and lovingly embraced your sweet, "special needs" baby boy, the first thing she said was, "Now, THAT'S someone I would vote for!" And, for our family and especially for her, you are someone I will vote for, with great pride..........
