ST. LOUIS, Missouri, September 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- The organizers will have a news conference on Tuesday, September 23, at 11:00 A.M., at the entrance to Washington University on the corner of Lindell and Skinker Boulevard to discuss their plans for the rallies.

Shannon McGinley, a political activist and organizer from Bedford, New Hampshire, comments, "Sarah Palin is the perfect VP candidate.  She embodies what a majority of American women really believe and embrace.  Finally, we have a woman in the national political arena who gives mothers like me a voice.  Governor Palin understands our desire to balance family life and public service, but not at the cost of our values.

With all the attacks that she has had to endure, my admiration for Governor Palin has only increased.  It is clear that she is a woman of integrity that will eloquently represent our values."

Brandi Swindell, Director of a women's health clinic from Boise, Idaho, states, "Governor Palin has energized voters, especially women, like few candidates before her.  The reasons are obvious.  She is a strong principled leader, reformer and fighter who is dedicated toward protecting the values that most Americans embrace and cherish.  The sexist and harsh attacks by the media and Democratic political leaders have only endeared her to voters and women of all backgrounds.

 Governor Palin is the only candidate with executive experience and I have no doubt she will excel at the debate and demonstrate to the public why Senator McCain picked her."

Mary Maschmeier, a pro-life and pro-family leader in St. Louis, shares, "I find it refreshing to see someone in the position of Governor Palin stand in defense of the unborn.  When Sarah and her husband chose life for their special needs child, it made an enormous statement to the pro-choice world.  It shows that Sarah Palin not only 'talks the talk, but walks the walk' when it comes to the dignity of human life.

She has shown that she respects all life, even those who may not be 'perfect' by some standards.  This child is perfect in the eyes of God, I am sure that she loves this little guy as much as her other children.  I know because I am the parent of a Down-syndrome child.  The pro-life/pro-family community must band together in support of a candidate who has clearly shown she is pro-life."

Kaitlin Clare, Program Director for the Christian Defense Coalition in Washington, D.C. adds, "I cannot wait for the Vice-Presidential debate on October 2.  After weeks of malicious attacks by the media and political opponents, Governor Palin will have the chance to set the record set and establish her credentials to be "a heartbeat" away from the Presidency.

In St. Louis, Americans will have the opportunity to see the old, failed policies of Senator Biden and the extreme left in direct comparison with the fresh vision and reformer spirit of Governor Palin.  For all his talk of change, Senator Obama picked a Vice-Presidential candidate that represents old Washington which is bitter, out of touch, harsh and broken.  Governor Palin is not only smashing through the glass ceiling, she is smashing "politics as usual" in Washington, D.C."
