August 29, 2008Arcticulates ®Focusing on Alaska's BeautyAuthor: K. FieldsSarah PalinShe may take a good picture, but don't let that photogenic profile fool you. She wasn't nicknamed "Sarah the Barracuda" for nothing. She is a no nonsense mother of 5, who doesn't have time for diapering and bottle feeding "old school" politics. Alaska State Governor Sarah Palin
She has made it to where she is using integrity and intellect, and has caused things to change for the better. She may make a fashionable cover girl for a magazine, but in order to know the real Sarah you have to see her in action as a hockey team manager. Yet, at the same time she certainly knows what she is talking about when it comes to energy policy issues. She has not been afraid to make changes to the tired, old, and stagnant political agenda in this State of Alaska. She has proved time and time again that her concern is for the people that live in Alaska. She has pushed the Natural Gas Pipeline by plowing through the quagmire of red-tape and excuses causing a reverse in the "hold-up", and has things moving steadily along. Some have accused her of "behaving like a women" and being "too soft", because she doesn't believe that Alaskans should have to use up their life-savings on the high costs of energy sources in Alaska. Her "can do" attitude is responsible for the $1200 "resource rebate" (energy assistance) per resident, and having the yearly Permanent Fund Dividend distributed a month early to help Alaskans prepare for the harsh winter season that's just around the corner. Governor Sarah Palin at The Office
Sarah is pretty much a typical women of Alaska, strong, resilient, and capable. She has lived in Alaska for 42 years, a supportive mother to her children, as her oldest son (Track) joins the Armed Services, and her youngest a beautiful baby boy (Trig) birthed during her first year as "First Women Governor in Alaska". She believes in family and is a supportive spouse to her hardworking husband, Todd Palin. She pulls no punches when it comes to honesty and integrity, which has at times made her a target for those who are happy with the "stagnant" ways of doing things, and don't want changes, even if they will improve the lives of people in Alaska. Yet at the same time she is strong enough to say "No" she has recently vetoed 13% of the State's proposed budget for capital projects. Some have claimed that this has been the biggest single-year line-item veto in the State's history... hummmm, sounds good to me. Salmon Fishing
Being a long time resident of Alaska, she is a lifetime card carrying member of the NRA (National Rifle Association). She is a avid hunter and fisher women. She is not afraid to voice her stand with some of the big "political issues", and being pro-life, pro-family. She isn't just talking for the sake of being noticed, she is living what she advocates... On the Cover of Alaska Magazine
I have met Sarah Palin twice, once while she was serving on the City Council of Wasilla, and also when she was serving as Mayor/Manager of Wasilla. She was very a down-to-earth, caring, friendly and encouraging... In my humble opinion...she would make a fantastic Vice President. Presidential Candidate John McCain is a wise man, choosing her for his running mate. She is intelligent and refreshingly honest about being ready to make some serious changes. She is all about Action! Not just discussing it to death...but making it happen... Now.. .not 40 years from now... Later... K Fields See Also: Natural Gas or Hot Air?
