Special Operations Warrior Foundation http://firstgiving.com/glennbeck www.glennbeck.com Open Letter to America Glenn Beck reveals the Plan November 21, 2009 - 15:28 ET Friends, What an amazing few days on the road this has been. Your spirits have been high, your faith strong and your spine unbendable. I ended my multiday book tour at The Villages with what had been billed as a rally but could be better described as a candid citizen-to-citizen chat. Today, I have stopped looking for a leader to show us the way out because I have come to realize that the only one who can truly save our country...is us. To change America's course we need to change ourselves, our expectations and our willingness to accept the unacceptable. When we refuse to allow our children to receive a trophy for participation, we are on the road to restoring the meaning of merit in our Republic. When we insist that no one is too big to fail, we will be able to learn from our mistakes, and when we demand that we are self-reliant, we will ensure that others can rely on us, not the government. There is much to do, much to learn and time is of the essence. While I will be explaining the entire Plan over the coming weeks and months, I did want to give you a preview of some of the highlights: - Education is key, and not just for our children. To that end, we will be conducting a series of conventions. These will be full-day experiences where you will be immersed in learning about topics ranging from self-reliance, community organizing, the economy and how to be a political force in your own neighborhood and country. The first one will be in Orlando at UCF Arena on March 27th. You will also be able to vote to have a convention in your region by clicking here. - I have begun meeting with some of the best minds in the country that believe in limited government, maximum freedom and the values of our Founders. I am developing a 100 year plan. I know that the bipartisan corruption in Washington that has brought us to this brink and it will not be defeated easily. It will require unconventional thinking and a radical plan to restore our nation to the maximum freedoms we were supposed to have been protecting, using only the battlefield of ideas. - All of the above will culminate in The Plan, a book that will provide specific policies, principles and, most importantly, action steps that each of us can take to play a role in this Refounding. - On August 28, 2010, I ask you, your family and neighbors to join me at the feet of Abraham Lincoln on the National Mall for the unveiling of The Plan and the birthday of a new national movement to restore our great country.

Times for drop off at alternate pick up points can be estimated looking at pick up schedule for departures. These trips are a high from beginning to end and will make you a part of history. Sign up now. This meet up is sponsored by Great American 9-12 Project (Tom Grimes Treasurer) a 527 political organization dedicated to the support of conservative activists by arranging transportation to events, grassroots activist training workshops and other activities related to patriot activities. St. Joe County Tea Party provides this Event posting as a informational service to it's members but takes no position of direct involvement of the activities involved in this tour event. Why 8/28 and not 9/11-12? 2009 9/12 was the event of the century when nine months of growth culminated in a the largest gathering in the history of the capital as verified with DC police. 1.5 - 1.8 million people and 40 Port A Potties. No one believed this was possible with people coming from all over the country to tell the government that we have had enough and won't take it more. This year, there will be a nostalgic return to DC on 9/11, but the event on 8/28 is this years major event. Since conservatives are traditionalists and like to honor traditions, there has been a huge cry of "foul" voiced to Glenn. After much agony myself trying to work through this, I came up with this opinion. I have been listening and then watching Glenn for over seven years. He has always been fun and on target with my view of the world and helped me learn about our system and the many competing interests that cause us concern as conservatives. In 2007 he wrote his book "An Inconvenient Book" Back then, other than the war on Islamic Terrorism, the distorted world of Al Gore and the chicken little climate hoax was on the front burner. I kept yelling "right on Glenn" as many of you did. As we transitioned into the year of the Obama in 2008, Glenn continued his insightful analysis of this amazing phenomenon and at the same time predicted market crash in August of that year. I continue to be amazed at how he educates himself as a reading "machine", assimilates the info and passes it on with humor and ability to simplify complex information and teach us everyday. Last year when he laid out his "We Surround You" campaign and unveiled it in March as the 9-12 Project, I and most of you began to focus on that trip to DC on 9-12. Prior to Glenn creating the symbol of 9-12 as the anniversary of a universal come-together day where even Nancy Pelosi loved George Bush and "water-Boarding", 9/12 was just another date on the calendar. After much thinking, I determined that I am going to continue following Glenn until he proves to be wrong (unlikely) and if he says "meet me" on 8/28, I am going without flinching ( I did flinch but got over it). Having set up my own 527 organization and studying how to use all collected funds tax exempt so that all can be used by my mission to serve the political activist community without giving a cut to the feds, I have come to understand why this event is done by donations to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation Glenn will not profit from this and will make up any shortfalls of the $2 million dollar budget to guarantee the event. Oh well, that would be a tax deduction for Glenn but if everyone who goes give $10 to the charity and we double the size of 9-12 last year, the foundation will have $30 million and net $28m. Nice deal for all. So, That said, let's all get on board. I have reserved 40 Rooms at the Crystal City Marriott near Reagan Airport and have the super luxurious "Black Bus" from Royal excursion reserved and our world famous driver Doyle, rarin' to go. Come join us. Keep coming back to this site as more details we appear. I have to firm up a couple things but I think the cost double occupancy will be $325 per person. I can get many more buses as demand warrants but the "Black Bus" Will be sold on first come first served basis and only hold 46. Ten fewer than standard buses (Leg Room :-)! This will be my third trip to DC since 9-12 and my bus trip alumni give the trips rave reviews. Just to let you know what a great value this is, I checked Air fare as of 2.22.10 from SB to Reagan Intnl is to $510 on that weekend and you don't have a place to stay. Our trip is a great value and I have great references from many very happy passengers. On August 28, 2010 come be a part of history by joining Glenn at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for the Restoring Honor Rally.

After Beck berated the 11 year old daughter of the president, did Sarah Palin make any comments about it? They are both on the same channel for petes sake. Or does she just make public statements about children being used as political pawns when it benefits her book tour?

Answer: she's not going to. she'll only make an obvious general comment about how families are off limits then change whole subject and accuse Obama of something. . . if she were interviewed and asked.

]I'm not joking or making this up! She QUITE HER OFFICE in disgrace to go on a BOOK TOUR and avoid a Federal investigation! What kind of nimrod would refer to Sarah as "Governor Palin?" She didn't finish her term - lol! She cost the State millions of dollars by quitting! She doesn't deserve the honorific title if she didn't even finish the job she was elected to do, please, give me a break! Yes "Libtardation" it would be childish and pointless to point out my one typo instead of answer my question, like 99% of everything else you guys say. The "typo" police always come out in force when they have no real answer to a question.

Answer: If she had completed her term as governor, that would be fine. By quitting before serving a full term, especially to seek personal financial gain, Palin doesn't deserve that title. Liberals have said the same about President Nixon, but he did serve a full term as president before resigning. If she had any self respect, or respect for the Alaskans who voted for her, she would not insist on being addressed as "Governor". She gave up on them.

Looks to me like she is pretty smart. She is drawing big crowds on the tour, got herself a best seller book, big job at Fox, and now is going to make a Special for TV. Suddenly, she looks a whole lot smarter than ALL the Liberals and most of the members of Congress!

Answer: Wow, Chloe has some real jealousy issues. Sarah rocks! One cannot have so much hate for someone they do not even know...and who is not in office. Makes zero sense Chloe. Most successful women I know admire her.

Here's some NPR discussion about the Political Book's debut -- Romney will be all over network and cable TV Tuesday — ending with a stop at the Late Show David Letterman. So far the travel schedule includes 42 stops in 19 states. "You look where he's going on this book tour and he has surrounded himself with the same guys he had in 2008," says Erick Erickson, who publishes the popular Republican blog RedState.com. "He's definitely in for President." Romney's 08 campaign had trouble with conservatives, particularly evangelicals who had doubts about his Mormonism and about his switch from pro-choice Massachusetts governor to pro-life presidential candidate. Some analysts wondered why he didn't simply run on his resume as a highly successful business man and executive. With polls showing the struggling economy and weak jobs picture to be the dominant issue for Americans, Erickson says Romney has an opportunity while on this book tour. "He needs to set himself up as the fixer," Erickson adds. "As the guy who knows what's wrong with the economy and can fix it." But a big book tour also risks comparison to others on the same well-trodden path — including one whose book came out in November: Sarah Palin. Kevin Madden, a GOP strategist who worked for Romney in 08, is quick to head off comparisons to Palin's massive crowds. "This is not about building crowds, instead it's about going out and meeting people sharing his ideas and his vision for the country with as many people as possible. Rather than being an event, it's a process of engaging on many of these ideas and issues."

Answer: That depends. If my local town library purchases it and puts it out on the New Books shelf, then I will borrow it and study its table of contents and main points. Does it come across as a memorable or soon-to-be-forgotten account? Have you seen an excerpt anywhere?

Formula for book success - write book - start movement - shear the sheep in the movement - plow sheered sheep funds into book? Palin PAC buys Palin book Sarah Palin's political action committee has spent more than $63,000 to buy copies of her autobiography as "books for fund-raising donor fulfillment" and paid her publisher $20,000 to send a photographer and aide on her book tour. The payments went to Harper Collins, publisher of "Going Rogue," and in some cases to HSP Direct, a fund-raising company that serves conservative politicians and pundits. The payments were first reported by ABC News. SarahPac, which raised $2.1 million in 2009, spent an additional $8,000 on colorful bookmarks designed by a Nashville firm. The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is due another payday this week at the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville. Palin is being paid $115,000 as the convention's keynoter. http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/archives/192991.asp?from=blog_last3 Palin PAC Spent More On Books Than Candidates Ex-AK Gov. Sarah Palin's (R) PAC spent more money buying copies of Palin's best-selling book than it gave in contributions to political candidates, according to new FEC reports. The papers filed over the weekend show SarahPAC spent $47,777 on copies of "Going Rogue" during the last 6 months of the year. Meanwhile, she handed out just $43K in donations to candidates seeking federal office. http://hotlineoncall.nationaljournal.com/archives/2010/02/palin_pac_spent.php

Answer: It's an old trick to boost book sales so an author appears on the New York Times bestseller list. I'm a truck driver, and once took a full trailer filled with pallet after pallet of Ann Coulter's books to a recycling plant. They had been bought by a conservative book club, and no one ordered them. But since they had been sold, albeit at a bulk discount, they made Ann able to slap "New York Times Bestseller" on the cover.

After a year of putting up with Liberal hate-mongering, biased Lefty joke-bags, and Looney smear rumors, Palin has a new (and hopefully temporary) home on Fox news. I was ever so happy that the Factor was HER choice to make her first appearancee on Fox. Now, after her smash best-selling book has DOMINATED the NY Times best seller list, after her breathtaking book tour where tens of thousands would line up all day just for a moment to meet her, she now has a bully pulpit to answer her detractors on 60 minutes, PMSNBC, and Andy Hooper 0n 260. None of this would have happened if she was still the Governor of the "North Pole"! Did Palin sound like she knew what she was talking about? Was she informed? Articulate? Did she connectt to Populist sentiments in the "Lower 48"? Did she succeed in overcoming the Leftist stereotypes she has been cast in? WHAT SAY YOU AMERICA? Please opine with pithy comments from anywhere anytime anytime if so inclined. And when answering, Please no Lefty Loon Bloviating in the No Spin Zone! And remember, me and Sarah aredefinitelyy looking out for the folks! Mr Italiano.....MAMA MIA! Have you EVER watched Fox News? Me thinks you never have judging by your answer. If you had, you would see liberal after Liberal openly insulting the Cons on Fox. Geraldo is a lib, and he has his own show. Lib radio personality Alan Combs is a regular, as is Geraldine Feraro a Dem Vice Presidential nominee, former Clinton Staffer Bob Beckel, syndicated columist Juan Williams is a Lib. And on and on. MSNBC just cut their token Conservative Lue Dobbs! Yes...Fox is fair and balanced! Get Real!~

Answer: Unlike the obvious Kool Aid sipping libs on answers....I WATCHED SARAH PALIN'S SPOT ON THE O'Reilly Factor. She was greaT and again I realized she is my political hero! Yes...she was very knowledgeable and articculate.

Is this really happening? It seems you can take 15 minutes of unearned fame and turn it into an unstoppable locomotive of bad press, stupid sound bites, book tours, and TV appearances. Why do we reward marginal talent so heavily? From politics to entertainment, from Britney Spears to Sarah Palin. What happened to valuing REAL talent? And here she is - still going strong, still grabbing headlines. Does she have any real ideas, solutions, in-depth knowledge of anything? Who cares - she's popular! Don't get me wrong, I can't say I blame her. I would cash in to. And I could, because our society and culture would let me. I could slap my name on a book and make millions, I could get my own TV show, and you'd watch. Not only would you watch, but many of you would become my fans who would, even though you don't know me at all, would defend me and fight for me until your last dying breath. Why? Why do we care so much? Why do we want people that give us no value in positions so valuable? Why are so many famous people famous for nothing?

Answer: unearned, owe-bama was senator for less than a year and now he is president? youo logic is lacking, she held an executive office, owe-bama held coke parties. we get it, you hate her but what is so funny, you WILL be watching her tonight. we are laughing at you not with you.

Will she be coming to Wytheville, Virginia?

Answer: I think she is on her way to Russia.

Who donated the jet? What did they get in turn?

Answer: Palin Plane Tour: Using Private Jet, Forcing Staff To Take Bus UPDATE: A Palin aide downplayed the former governor's use of a private plane on her book tour Tuesday, saying she was using both the jet and the bus. Palin's ... huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/30/palin-plane-tour-using-pr_n... - 286k - Cached------- -------------------------------------------- Some big corporation she is in bed with .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3VIaj1_W9A&NR=1 The bus that Sarah Palin wasn't on because she was in a "$4,000 an hour jet" flying around to all the stops on the tour. She got busted in a lie saying that she was actually on the bus when she wasn't. What were they chanting? It sounded like liar liar pants on fire. Why did they buy her book in the first place? Maybe they had this coming for doing so. Think they'll remember that when she goes looking for their votes again? Aww, her wounded supporters are so funny lol. Naw, they were a little to white looking to be "Mexicans". Sorry, but those were white people. I understood the boos. They were loud and clear lol. And it sounded like they were hitting the bus too. What was funny was them taking pictures of the bus lol. Wow these supporters of hers are simply amazing LOL! Now they got the "dems" buying her book! They actually want people to believe that those angry people were "dems". Unbelievable LOL !!! Every Democrat that I know said they wouldn't even buy her crap of a book to line their cat's litter box with lol!

Answer: It seems to be a gaggle of oh, so tolerant, loving, caring, Demolemmings. You know the type, they are kind, caring, loving and tolerant, just so long as you agree with them totally. Kind of like N.O.W. (National Organization for Women), they are always ready to defend women they perceive to have been treated unfairly, as long as the woman in question, is a Liberal.
