WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- LA Times, Hartford Courant, Chicago Tribune, American Spectator take notice. All across America women are coming together to make their voices heard. Team Sarah leaders anticipate 100,000 members by Inauguration Day.
What they are saying:
"Team Sarah is the sort of spontaneous Tocquevillean activism that the conservative movement has been woefully lacking lately, and there is no other candidate for 2012 who has anything like it. Any Republican opponent of Palin would have to defeat this rapidly-growing grassroots army in order to take the nomination. And what, pray tell, is the political benefit to the GOP of extinguishing the only genuine enthusiasm in the party?" --American Spectator, December 21, 2008
"Of course, 2012 is a long way off, and Palin isn't the only potential Republican star on the horizon. But supporters such as Motherway, Brislin and Trawick already have found an outlet for their pro-Palin activism. It's called TeamSarah.org, a social networking site with more than 60,000 members who are determined to stay connected and keep the conversation going." --Hartford Courant, December 22, 2008
"Now, more than a month since the political spotlight has turned away from the failed GOP ticket and the running mate who rallied so many conservatives, some of those whom Palin drew to the political arena are seeking to keep a conversation going. This includes TeamSarah.org, a social networking site launched in September." --L.A. Times, December 21, 2008
"TeamSarah.org, boasting more than 60,000 members and hoping to top 100,000 by Inauguration Day, was started in part by a mother of five, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion group that promotes involvement of women in politics. She and Jane Abraham, chairman of the SBA board, had launched the site as a place for followers to network and promote Palin's candidacy." --Chicago Tribune, December 21, 2008
Team Sarah is a coalition of women dedicated to advancing the values that Sarah Palin represents in the political process.
