POLITICO, 6/14/2010 (Hat tip: Linda Weimer) - Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is planning a trip to London and a visit with former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, her staff has confirmed to POLITICO. ∴ In a Facebook post scheduled to go up Monday, Palin writes: “I have received an invitation for a visit to London, and part of that invitation included the offer of arranging a meeting between myself and one of my political heroines, the ‘Iron Lady,’ Margaret Thatcher.”
“I would love to meet her and hope I'll be able to arrange the trip in the future,” Palin writes of the former conservative leader whom the former governor frequently cites in speeches.
“As I wrote last year when I offered her birthday wishes, Baroness Thatcher’s life and career serve as a blueprint for overcoming the odds and challenging the ‘status quo,'” Palin continues. “She started life as a grocer's daughter from Grantham and rose to become Prime Minister — all by her own merit and hard work. I cherish her example and will always count her as one of my role models. Her friendship with my other political hero, Ronald Reagan, exemplified the Special Relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.”
The news of a possible trip was first reported by London’s Daily Mail, which wrote on Sunday that Thatcher has agreed to the visit.
Palin recently touted Thatcher during a speech at a fundraising breakfast for the Susan B. Anthony List in Washington — a speech in which Palin highlighted many of the “mama grizzlies” she believes are reshaping the Republican Party.
“Mrs. Thatcher, she never set out to be a woman prime minister, just a prime minister,” Palin said. “Mrs. Thatcher used to say about politics ‘You want something said, ask a man. You want something done, ask a woman.’”

Newsletter: Rally with us (2/15)!
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." …. John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
“WE WANT LESS!” say Oregonians at Rally
Oregonians will gather Monday on the steps of the Oregon State Capitol from 11 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Monday, February 15 with a unified message, “WE WANT LESS!” ∴ Oregon families and businesses will gather to ask the Legislature and the governor to avoid the temptation to raise additional taxes, including the taking of the “Kicker.” Instead, the Legislature should focus on reducing the tax and regulatory burden on hard-working Oregon families and businesses. This exciting event will include a march around the Capitol . BRING A HOMEMADE SIGN URGING FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, LOW TAXES AND JOB CREATION!! ∴ Prior to the rally, Americans for Prosperity will hold a “Thank You” event on the West Capitol steps at 10:00 a.m. Also, important statewide and local initiatives for 2010 and 2012 will be introduced. AFP chapters are FIGHTING TAX AND FEE INCREASES. ∴ After the rally, you are invited to visit your Legislators.
Although all seats are already sold at the Lane County Republican Lincoln Day Celebration on April 23, a rally is being organized outside the Eugene Hilton in support of Sara Palin’s appearance there. Please make your sign and plan to go to Eugene that day to let the town know that Sarah has many supporters in this area. The time will be announced later. Watch for more announcements.
“Oregon Train Wreck” being worsened by Democrat decisions
Projected state revenue income from tax collection and lottery fund profits is projected to be DOWN by more than $190 million since the December 2009 forecast. It has dropped more than $400 million since July 1, 2009. Also, the 2009 fourth quarter report was the seventh consecutive month of job losses and declining revenue.
IT’S TIME TO REEVALUATE THE POLICIES THAT HAVE CREATED THIS ONGOING TRAIN WRECK. Oregonians need to reconsider the wisdom of raising taxes, enlarging fees, and expanding regulation on the business community. We must preach loud and long that it is the business community that sustains our private sector jobs and state economy!!! But unfortunately, in the early days of the 2010 “Emergency Special Session” it does not appear that the majority of the Dems are reconsidering their policy choices.
“Emergency Special Session” is an excuse to attack private property rights
Rules of the “emergency special session” allow each senator to request two bills to be drafted and each Representative can request that one bill be drafted. And true to form, the D’s are stacking the deck by creating exceptions to the time limits and time frames, which will allow themselves to introduce any bill at just about any time.
Rep. Doug Whitsett (R-Klamath Falls, District 28) says that the only thing special about the emergency special session is that it appears to be designed to virtually exclude public participation in the law making process !! When a public hearing and work session on the bill is going to be held, the public gets only one days’ notice!! This just about eliminates the opportunity for most people in Eastern, Southern or Coastal Oregon to participate in the law making process. By the time the people find out what is being done to them, the opportunity to testify at a hearing or work session has already passed. ONE HOUR COMMITTEE NOTICE can be forced on the Legislature at any time. IT MUST BE THE NATIONAL DEMOCRAT POLICY TO LEGISLATE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. Washington D.C. has nothing on Oregon!!
BILLS THAT CONCERN THOSE WHO LIVE AND WORK IN RURAL OREGON:
SB 1060 (introduced by Sen. Alan Bates of Ashland) proposes to CHANGE the term “Navagable stream” to “floatable stream”. It then defines a floatable waterway as any stream, lake, or reservoir that is capable of floating any device at any time of the year, in spite of shallow riffles and cobbles. The bill prevents any obstruction across the stream that would potentially interfere with floating devices, like a fence or a diversion dam, even if it is located on PRIVATE LAND. This bill forces owners of private land to let the public cross their land to get to these streams. Three proposed amendments to this bill make it even worse. THIS IS A HUGE ATTACK ON PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS!!!
HB 3661 proposes to exert draconian restrictions on the construction and use of domestic wells that provide water for families and livestock. Landowners currently have the right to construct domestic wells on their property without a water right permit. This has always been an inherent property right in Oregon. The landowner is entitled to beneficially use up to 15,000 gallons per day from the well for family household use. In addition, the landowner is allowed to water his livestock and to irrigate up to one half acre of lawn and garden from the well. Those who have group domestic wells and who have wells for industrial uses have similar property rights. HB 3661 PROPOSES TO REDUCE THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ALLOWABLE USE FROM ANY NEWLY CONSTRUCTED DOMESTIC WELL TO 5,000 gallons per day INCLUDING WATER NEEDED FOR GARDEN, LAWN AND LIVESTOCK WATERING. Group domestic wells would allow only one ½ acre parcel to be irrigated from each group domestic well! Industrial use would also be limited to 5,000 gallons a day, including water for landscape maintenance.
BOTH THESE BILLS HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL “TAKINGS” ISSUES. In addition, these bills are not needed!! They will certainly reduce the opportunities for building new homes and businesses dependent on groundwater, thereby costing jobs, hurting the economy and reducing state revenue. And most certainly, THEY WILL NOT BE GOOD FOR RURAL OREGON.
STAND UP FOR RURAL OREGON! Stop government from destroying those who produce our agriculture!!
GOVERNMENT WILL COME FOR YOU NEXT!
JOB ALERT: Workers to conduct the 2010 U.S. Census are now being hired. Call the Central Clearing House at 866-861-2010 and ask for a referral for U.S. Census Workers to find out if you can get a job helping with the census.

WSJ: Obama and the Bureaucratization of Health Care by Sarah Palin
WALL STREET JOURNAL 0/9/2009 by Sarah Palin - The president's proposals would give unelected officials life-and-death rationing powers.
[Solutions excerpt] Instead of poll-driven "solutions," let's talk about real health-care reform: market-oriented, patient-centered, and result-driven. As the Cato Institute's Michael Cannon and others have argued, such policies include giving all individuals the same tax benefits received by those who get coverage through their employers; providing Medicare recipients with vouchers that allow them to purchase their own coverage; reforming tort laws to potentially save billions each year in wasteful spending; and changing costly state regulations to allow people to buy insurance across state lines. Rather than another top-down government plan, let's give Americans control over their own health care.Read more at WSJ... Read More......
Democrats have never seriously considered such ideas, instead rushing through their own controversial proposals.

Palin says Obama's health care plan is 'evil'
BREITBART, 8/7/2009 by Mark Theissen - "Who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course," the former vice Republican presidential candidate wrote on her Facebook page. ∴ "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil," Palin wrote. Read more at Breitbart...

Palin: The 'Cap And Tax' Dead End
WASHINGTON POST, 7/14/2009 by Sarah Palin - There is no shortage of threats to our economy. America's unemployment rate recently hit its highest mark in more than 25 years and is expected to continue climbing. Worries are widespread that even when the economy finally rebounds, the recovery won't bring jobs. Our nation's debt is unsustainable, and the federal government's reach into the private sector is unprecedented. Read more at the Washington Post...

Gallup: 70 Percent say Palin's resignation has no effect on their opinion
AMERICAN SPECTATOR, 7/7/2009 by Philip Klein - A new Gallup poll finds that 70 percent of Americans say that Sarah Palin's decision to resign as governor of Alaska has no effect on their opinion of her. At the same time, 17 percent view her less favorably as a result of the move, and 9 percent view her more favorably. Meanwhile, Palin continues to be polarizing, with 43 percent saying they would be very or somewhat likely to vote for her as president and 54 percent saying they would be "not too likely" or "not at all likely" to vote for her. But the media gets overwhelmingly bad reviews, with 53 percent of Americans saying that coverage of Palin has been "unfairly negative" while only 9 percent say it's "unfairly positive" and 28 percent say it's "about right."

Feminist hatred for Palin: "Quantum entanglement or dark energy"
RECLUSIVE LEFTIST (blogger), 7/4/2009 - [Excerpt from Feminists and the mystery of Sarah Palin] ...Which brings me to my first puzzlement: why don’t people bother to find out what Sarah Palin really believes? I don’t mean people as in the usual sexist freaks; I mean feminists. ∴ Sarah Palin is only the second woman in the history of this country to run on a major party’s presidential ticket. That alone makes her, to me, a fascinating figure worthy of serious investigation. When McCain announced Palin as his choice for VP, I immediately tried to find out as much about her as I could. I wanted to know who she was, what she believed, what her politics were. It never occurred to me that this interest would make me in any way unusual among feminists, but apparently it did. Apparently most feminists — at least the ones online — are content to just take the word of the frat boys at DailyKos or the psycho-sexists at Huffington Post. That amazes me. Aren’t you even interested in who she really is? I want to ask. She’s only the second woman on a presidential ticket in our whole fricking history! Read more by Reclusive Leftist...
