About three weeks ago, the word came down through Arizona Organize For Palin that a screening of The Undefeated would take place in Phoenix. We literally had five days to get the word out – and we did. A handful of us activists immediately began inviting community leaders, activists, radio hosts, reporters, church leaders, etc. and in a matter of days, we packed the screening room. Last night, we learned that the 7:45 showing our group attended had sold out and prompted a second screening room to be opened. While in the theatre, our state O4Palin coordinator extraordinaire, Rebecca Feldman, received news via Twitter the 5pm crowd was packed and gave a standing ovation at the end.

While at the theatre, there was a great deal of applause starting from the beginning when Palin was being introduced as the VP selection in 2008. I loved it when Obama’s image & voice were shown – people booed :) When Pelosi’s image was shown, the room erupted in hissing sounds. At the end, it was a standing ovation with some yelling out ‘Palin for President’. Great night! Nothing like spending an evening with a great O4Palin group already proving to be a mighty force in Arizona. Our coordinator has already been featured on local news to combat the state chair of the Democrat party who was predictably dismissive of Palin and her impressive record (he sounded just like many in the GOP hierarchy these days). This is the reason it’s important for everyone to see the movie: you get to see what Sarah accomplished which leaves the current GOP line-up in the dust! Seeing her accomplishments also makes Obama look weak, stupid and like the diminutive f(rea)k that he is.

I do want to share a story from the screening we attended on June 30. I had the pleasure of meeting Chris Bannon, Stephen’s brother. Very nice guy! He told the audience before the screening the Palins would have been with us that evening, but they had to fly to Anchorage so Sarah could serve jury duty. When Palin was asked why she didn’t get out of serving jury duty (which she could have done), she explained that by doing so it meant another Alaskan would be called to serve and taken from a job they need to support their families in these difficult times.

Who else on the public stage has that sort of consideration for regular people?

That’s why I want Palin to run: her servant’s heart is not conditional – it’s consistent and rooted in Christ – not a party, corporation or trend. She is real, and we need a real person to deal with the real problems we face.

Make sure to see The Undefeated, join Organize 4 Palin in your state, get literature to distribute and encourage people to see the film! Let’s get ready to kick Barry Soetoro’s scrawny butt out of office in 2012!

I am soooo excited that it is coming to Milwaukee TOMORROW!!! I can't tell you how many years it's been since I set foot in a theater except to take the kids. I'm pumped!

And the "kids" (now young ladies who will ALL be of voting age come Nov 2012 will be accompanying ME this time!

Sarah Palin wouldn’t have been picked to serve on a jury anyway. Just too well known and it would be asking for a mistrial or some other shenanigans.

That's why she'll will be one of the top Presidents in history--on the level of Washington, Jefferson and Reagan.

True, but by remaining on the panel she accomplished her stated goal. Most people called to be potential jurors never serve, but they have to disrupt their jobs and show up, regardless.

The left would have thrown fits if she had asked to be excused which is what irritates me about it.

If Governor Palin didn't serve, the Left would have said she felt she was “too good” to be with the common folk.

What's your point again?

Lawyers serve, Cops serve, spouses of Cops serve, in fact there are many people who might be excluded by Defense Counsel and / or State Prosecutors because of their day jobs. Should all of them get special dispensation so they don't have to report for Jury Duty?

My point was a simple fact. If you think there was some ulterior motive I pity your paranoia.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

Can you please give a link to the actual page on the site where this story is? It is NOT on the main page you linked to, and I even did a search for “jury duty” and did NOT find it on the site.

Thanks very much.

True, plus she’s too aware to serve on a jury. You have to be a dolt in most cases. But had she not served, some other schlub would have had to sit in her place in the waiting room, wasting a day or more. I’m going to be one of those schlubs in September. I think I’ll bring Liberty and Tyranny to read while I wait. LOL Bob

Were you saying she should have not shown up? It isn't up to her to decide whether she serves Jury Duty or not, it is up to the Court.

I was responding to your comment by explaining how it works, period. You or I cannot just ignore a Jury Summons.

Again, what's your point besides being rude? Now I have an “ulterior motive” and I am “paranoid” for questioning you about your comment?

Your “pity” is not necessary my FRiend.

Do us all a favor and read up on your rights as a juror.

Ever since the supreme court of 1895 ruled that “Jurors need not be told” of their rights, our courts have gotten progressively worse. (Sparf vs USA)
