TeamSarah.org Reaches 40,000 Members

Today (Oct. 29), Team Sarah, a grassroots coalition of diverse women dedicated to advancing Gov. Sarah Palin's Vice Presidential candidacy announced the explosive growth of www.teamsarah.org.

“Governor Sarah Palin is a strong, independent leader who is inspiring women across America to do all they can to help elect the McCain-Palin ticket,” said actress Janine Turner, star of Northern Exposure and Team Sarah Member. “They love her character, moral fiber, intellect, feistiness, and spunk. She is the essence of the independent spirit of America -- the pioneer spirit -- the type of spirit that made and makes America great. On www.teamsarah.org, that spirit is translating into action, as motivated women step up for McCain-Palin in these final days of the campaign.”

The Team Sarah Web site was launched on Sept. 19, and its membership has swiftly grown to over 40,000 members nationwide in a few short weeks. Membership has doubled in the past week.

“These women can ensure victory for John McCain and Sarah Palin on Election Day, and Team Sarah is excited to energize and activate them,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, Team Sarah co-founder and Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund president.

Last weekend, Team Sarah hosted an historic Million Woman Townhall that contacted over one million registered women voters on Saturday, Oct. 25. Over 100,000 women participated live on the line, posing questions to a panel of women leaders including First Lady Laura Bush, Jeri Thompson, actress Janine Turner, pollster Kellyanne Conway, policy expert Barbara Comstock, Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund President Marjorie Dannenfelser and Susan B. Anthony List General Chairman Jane Abraham.

Panelists answered questions about the McCain-Palin ticket and encouraged women to support John McCain and Governor Palin by bringing three friends with them to vote on Election Day.

BlogCatalog.com Moderators Show Bias

Editor's note: As many of you who read this site know, the menu on here is often California news. From time to time, we look at national and world events. Sometimes we even have to respond to outrageous claims.

Such is the case with Blog Catalog (www.blogcatalog.com). We were having some spirited debates with our friends on the left over the last couple of weeks about the upcoming presidential election. Then out of the blue, we got this note below from someone who will likely claim they are an 'impartial' moderator on the site. The note goes as follows:

from TonyB (a moderator on blog catalog) @DaveT, please type so people can explain what you are saying. Use caps at the beginning of sentences. Your run on sentences make no sense and you take things out of context just to annoy people here. The BC community has certain guidelines and standards. I've asked you to please adhere to them. I am blocking you from the discussions for a period of time. If, and when, you decide to come back, please read the guidelines and show respect to other members. Thanks

Well, we can't say we are surprised. The discussion room is loaded with those on the left who think their candidate for president (Barack Obama) and their views are just superior to everyone else. And God forbid if you should actually go into their den and challenge them on some of these views.

But the biggest thing we've noticed on the left is how sensitive everyone is. So instead of allowing for a free discussion of thoughts, and even acknowledging when we praise their views, we're told that we're not respectful towards the left, we say things that make no sense, and we take things out of context just to annoy people.

Well, in the fairness of an open society and what they would likely claim is a free forum, we would like you to take a look at some of the posts on there (see link below) and see for yourself if we (davet) should not be allowed to state the 'other side's' point of view.

As always, thanks for reading.
