Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin Announced as CPAC 2012 Closing Speaker
 
Former Vice-Presidential Candidate will Conclude Three-Day Event with Address to America’s Oldest, Largest Annual Gathering of Grassroots Conservative Activists
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Conservative Union (ACU) today announced former Vice Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will deliver a special keynote address at CPAC 2012 – the 39th annual Conservative Political Action Conference.  America’s largest gathering of conservative leaders and activists will be held Thursday, February 9 – Saturday, February 11, 2012, in Washington, DC.  The FOX News contributor and New York Times bestselling author will conclude the three-day event, a slot occupied by Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and U.S. Congressman Allen West in the past three years.    
 
“Few national conservative leaders in America today energize and inspire our grassroots activists like Governor Sarah Palin. Her strong record of leadership, championing of our shared principles and magnetic personality have made Sarah Palin a hero to millions of conservatives across the country,” said ACU Chairman Al Cardenas. “As we ready for the critical 2012 election, I’m honored to welcome Governor Palin to the Conservative Political Action Conference for the first-time ever.”
 
Every year, the ACU brings thousands of grassroots conservatives and conservative leaders together in Washington, DC for three days of blockbuster speeches, policy discussions and networking opportunities – all celebrating the shared principles of smaller government, a strong national defense and traditional values.
 
CPAC 2012 features an all-star line-up that also includes Ann Coulter, Senators Jim DeMint and Marco Rubio, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Governors Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney, Congressmen Jim Jordan, Steve King, Paul Ryan and Allen West, former Senator Rick Santorum, Governor Scott Walker and many more.

Statement on 2012 Decision by Gov. Sarah Palin

Statement on 2012 Decision.

by Sarah Palin on Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at 6:48pm

October 5, 2011

Wasilla, Alaska

After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.

My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office - from the nation’s governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency. We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the “fundamental transformation” of our nation and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law.

From the bottom of my heart I thank those who have supported me and defended my record throughout the years, and encouraged me to run for President. Know that by working together we can bring this country back - and as I’ve always said, one doesn’t need a title to help do it.

I will continue driving the discussion for freedom and free markets, including in the race for President where our candidates must embrace immediate action toward energy independence through domestic resource developments of conventional energy sources, along with renewables. We must reduce tax burdens and onerous regulations that kill American industry, and our candidates must always push to minimize government to strengthen the economy and allow the private sector to create jobs.

Those will be our priorities so Americans can be confident that a smaller, smarter government that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people can better serve this most exceptional nation.

In the coming weeks I will help coordinate strategies to assist in replacing the President, re-taking the Senate, and maintaining the House.

Thank you again for all your support. Let’s unite to restore this country!

God bless America.

Governor Sarah Palin to Attend Premiere of The Undefeated at Pella Opera House in Pella, Iowa

SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 25, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Victory Film Group (www.victoryfilmgroup.com) and ARC Entertainment announced today that Governor Sarah Palin and her husband Todd will attend the premiere of The Undefeated at the historic Pella Opera House on Tuesday June 28 at 5pm Central Time in Pella, Iowa. Immediately after the showing, Victory Film Group and ARC Entertainment will host a traditional Iowa cookout to thank the Pella Opera House and the people of Pella.

In accepting the invitation to attend the premiere, Sarah Palin stated, "We are very excited to visit historic Pella and its opera house and look forward to seeing the finished film for the first time with fellow Americans from the heartland."

Responding to the Palin's announcement that they will attend the Iowa premiere, Larry Peterson, Chairman of the Board of the Pella Opera House said, "We look forward to hosting Governor Palin and her husband, Todd, at our beloved opera house as we welcome them to our community."

"We are incredibly excited about Governor Palin and her husband Todd's attendance at a location that speaks to the basic core values of The Undefeated," said Stephen K. Bannon, the writer and director of the film.

"We are delighted that Governor Palin and her husband Todd have accepted our invitation to join us at the Iowa premiere of what we believe is a truly moving and extraordinary film," said Trevor Drinkwater, CEO of ARC Entertainment, the film's worldwide distributor.

The film begins its national rollout exclusively in AMC Theatres in 10 cities the week of July 15th. The film will debut in Dallas, Denver, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Atlanta, Orange County, Phoenix, Houston, Indianapolis, and Kansas City, with plans to take it nationwide in additional markets thereafter.

The Undefeated features leading prominent political commentators Mark Levin, Tammy Bruce and Andrew Breitbart as well as conservative activists Kate Obenshein, Sonnie Johnson and Jamie Radtke. Additionally, the film features interviews with Alaskan civil servants, elected officials and advisors who were involved in Alaskan politics during Governor Palin's tenure.

RightOnline Moving Sneak Peek of Palin Movie, The Undefeated To 1,000 Seat Main Ballroom #ro11

RightOnline Sees Overwhelming Demand from Grassroots for Sneak Peek of Palin Movie, The Undefeated
Controversial Palin film to be viewed by hundreds at RightOnline

ARLINGTON, Va., June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In response to overwhelming demand from its free-market grassroots activists for a sneak peek of the controversial new film, The Undefeated, Americans for Prosperity Foundation's RightOnline Conference will move the showing of the movie to the 1,000-seat main ballroom during RightOnline on Friday, June 17th at 9 p.m. CDT. The Undefeated is an independently produced feature film about Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin. RightOnline is a conservative technology activism conference that runs opposite the left-wing Netroots Nation Convention.

"Sarah Palin is one of the most talked about political figures by pundits, but the overwhelming demand for viewing this film proves that she strikes a high profile with grassroots activists on the center-Right as well," said Tim Phillips, President of Americans for Prosperity and President of Americans for Prosperity Foundation. "We're pleased to be able to offer this excusive screening to attendees of AFP Foundation's RightOnline Conference this Friday, and give hundreds of free-market activists a peek at the real story behind Palin's political career. This film also underscores the importance of social media—that is, to step around the mainstream media in order to provide a unbiased look at political issues and personalities."

Written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon and produced by Victory Film Group co- founder Glenn Bracken Evans and Dan Fleutte, The Undefeated was independently financed by Victory Film Group and its partners. The movie features a wealth of rare and never-before-seen footage, as well as exclusive interviews with Alaska lawmakers who offer fresh perspective on Palin's time in office. It features commentary from prominent conservatives such as Mark Levin, Andrew Breitbart and Tammy Bruce.

The Undefeated will premiere in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina in late June and early July, and the film is slated for a nationwide theatrical release beginning July 15 through exclusively at select AMC theatres. Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp., a full-service theatrical distributor specializing in digital cinema, is managing the theatrical release and ARC Entertainment has taken on worldwide distribution responsibilities for the project.

Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFP Foundation), the premiere free-market grassroots organization, will hold its 4th annual RightOnline Conference in Minneapolis, MN on June 17-18, 2011. The event will feature a powerful lineup of speakers, including HotAir.com founder and Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin, Breitbart.com founder Andrew Breitbart, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Congressman John Kline, Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, and businessman Herman Cain.

As in previous years, RightOnline will counter the left-wing Netroots Nation Conference, also being held in Minneapolis, Minn., by bringing together free-market activists from across the country to learn how to boost their online presence and influence public policy debates on the local, state, and national level.

Sarah Palin Facebook Status Update:

I’m looking forward to hitting the road again for the release of my new book “America By Heart.” The book is a collection of essays and reflections about our exceptional country. It discusses the ideals we must pass on to the next generation to ensure that we remain, in the words of Reagan, “the shining city on a hill,” and in the words of Lincoln, “the last best hope of earth.”
 
Below are dates, times, and locations for the tour. Please feel free to contact each venue for more information. My family will be joining me along the way, and they look forward to meeting you as much as I do. We’ll try to add some more stops if time allows. And, of course, we'll wrap up the whole tour in Alaska just as we did last time.
We can’t wait to see you soon!
