Barring any last-second "resonsider movement" to convince Sarah Palin to run for POTUS 2012 (slim to none), why is Organize for Palin (O4P) taking monetary donations? If Sarah isn't running for elective office, why have O4P? Even if she accepted a VP slot for 2012, O4P would most likely pull up states and merge with the Presidential campaign....but even then, why should O4P take money donations?
Where is this donated money going to???? Are they helping the Palin "earthquake/reconsider" movement? Even then, what comes after when shen mostly likely says "no" whatsoever to 2012?
As a fomer donater...where is the money going to?

One last thing...O4P is not connected to Sarah Palin, SarahPac, her staff or advisors. It is an independent group of Palin fans who wanted to organize for a potential run for President 2012.
They’re going to Disneyland?
Remember the fake Cain groups. ANYONE can set up a web site and claim to be for the candidate. The question is SARAH involved? If not stay away!!!!
Buying gold and silver.
By 2016, the chest will have grown tremendously and prove to be immensely powerful weapon in the campaign against Hillary now that the Messiah has had his run
Onyx, with all due respect, that is not O4P but an independent group accepting money for a specific job (making Sarah reconsider).
What is O4P doing? If Sarah does not get into the race, then is it proper to accept donations? If Palin is not running for office, there is nothing to organize for.
Perhaps O4P, in the intern, should retool and find a new mission (perhaps as a pac)?
“Remember the fake Cain groups. ANYONE can set up a web site and claim to be for the candidate. “
Yeah but if you as an average American lie about your name to Facebook so that they can better profit selling out your life and privacy, the Obama Justice Dept wants to charge you with a felony.
Are we becoming a nation with all the wrong priorities intended to give global corporations profits at the loss of our liberties?

that’s true, but O4P has been around for a while and was quite active....especially last year. If there’s nothing to organize for, and under it’s current mission statement, why ask for money?
perhaps the O4P money can be donated to SarahPac???
Hiya ak267!
The link I provided is the only one I know about. I have no idea about O4P.
Perhaps the poster should check with C4P.
Happy, healthy, prosperous 2012!!
Two weeks all paid vacation for “senior staff” in Aruba.
May be good to know who is behind this. Anyone can create a ‘group’ and edit videos in their basement.
O4P was originally organized to help push candidates Palin endorsed in 2010. It was not founded to get Palin elected to anything.
From their website:
“Organize4Palin (O4P) is a grassroots network comprised of Americans who believe in restoring our country by supporting the leadership of Gov. Sarah Palin and the values she embraces. Our efforts in 2010 helped many of Gov. Palin’s endorsed candidates win their pursued office.”
“We succeed in what we do because of the exceptionalism of every volunteer that signs on.”
“If you expect when you join O4P that you will find a political machine, where we mold people to universally say and do all the things we think they should, you will be disappointed and missing what we value as Americans the most – our individuality, freedom, and creative hard work. No group represents that better than our members.”
“Gov. Palin has proven we can turn a page in American politics. We don’t have to keep walking down the path of disregard for our country and its founding ideals, or use corrupt methods to win an election. “We the People” have in the past and can in the future change our course. We must, for our nation’s survival and our children’s future.”
“If you’re ready to get in the game, please join us here. We’re in it to win and welcome your participation.”
“Organize4Palin is a project of American Grizzlies United, a grassroots organization dedicated to organizing, educating, and training volunteers for American political elections. Contributions or gifts to American Grizzlies United are not tax deductible, and gifts from foreign nationals cannot be accepted. Paid for by American Grizzlies United and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.”
O4P was very active in helping many candidates in 2010, specifically those whom Palin endorsed.
They are going to pay for a cruise and diamonds at Tiffany’s.
Well, isn’t this why palin trade-marked her name...so that nobody could do this without her authorization?
If I could raise money, I’d pay off some bills and take a nice vacation. Maybe that’s what they are doing with the money.
I don’t roam around the facebook.
We are talking about apple and oranges. My apple is cheating the public. (Fraud) Your orange is slandering a person on the internet. (Fraud) IMO.
Both are reprehensible.
Organize4Palin is a project of American Grizzlies United
Is either one of these groups a PAC or under scrutiny of the FEC? If not do they report to anyone other than their own their inhouse organization?
