The Maureen Dowd fan club was going to stage a protest outside the event, but one lost her road map and the other has to go for brain surgery that day.

You can’t get 20,000 into the library, nor 10,000.

But you **can** get a pretty big crowd OUTSIDE the Library. :o)

We are still working on the EXACT logistics with the Simi Valley Police Department...

...but the CURRENT plan is to have us assemble at the corner of MADERA (also known as OLSEN) and PRESIDENTIAL.

See Yahoo! MAPS for details.

LOL!

Bring it on!

We have had some experience dealing with the "opposition" -- at rallies to Support Our Troops -- deep in the "enemy" territories of Hollywood, and Santa Monica, etc.

But THIS event will be in REAGAN COUNTRY...

...which is very far away from their base of operations -- both geographically, and politically. :o)

So we expect only "token" resistance.

They should hold the event at Dodger Stadium.

I bet every seat would be filled, and the liberals would be seething with rage and jealousy.

Media barred from Palin’s post-gubernatorial debut.

Bwah!

[bushfamfan]

LOL. She can post the transcript on her twitter or maybe a website she could start and do her own thing. She will attract crowds wherever she goes and needs to take advantage in questioning the media’s liberal agenda to protect 0bama and the Demonrats. It needs to be pointed out that the media is not allowed a tyranny that is not to be questioned itself. There is more than enough evidence for the media to finally get their comeuppance.

According to another poster who called the pub women’s group that is organizing it, it’s sold out.

Yes, the $150/person "Gala Dinner" INSIDE the Library is already sold out.

But you are still welcome to join is for the free RALLY to SUPPORT SARAH PALIN -- OUTSIDE the Library.

MANY people who do not have tickets to the Dinner will be coming to Simi Valley anyway -- to show our support for Governor Palin...

...and perhaps also TOUR the LIBRARY, have a PICNIC LUNCH, and NETWORK with other conservatives.

You are welcome to join us there. :o)

It currently appears that Governor Palin will NOT be appearing anywhere else in southern California -- at least for THIS trip.

Thanks for the info. I'm sure she's got plenty to do and some downtime is in order....finish the book, kids' school, plan for the future, etc.

[bustinchops]

Thanks. We’ve toured the library three times, made numerous purchases from the store, donated to the library, toured AF One, attended a special invitation event for Veteran’s Day, eaten at the cafe, and my husband has saluted the tomb of his former Commander-in-Chief.

It’s about 300 miles and unless there’s a place for us to sit down and listen to Palin speak for some time, I don’t think we’ll be going. We’d rather pay the money and attend the dinner, but that’s not an option.

Thanks for your note.

[SolidWood]

Belated ping!

(Sorry folks... I’m lately quite busy. I’ll try to keep up.)

[SueRae]

God, I just LOVE her. Especially for that move. You go Sarah!!!

[MayflowerMadam]

“shame, I am only 20 minutes away, looks like an exclusive event.”

COME ANYHOW!! We’ll all be congregating at the corner of Madera and Presidential at around 4:30 to show our support. We want the area PACKED with Palin signs and flags. Please come... Even though the media can’t be AT the Library, they may be at the main entrance before the checkpoint if there’s a checkpoint.

Some of the comments at the link are really nasty, needs some FR input.

[Turret Gunner A20]

Let's see, they have trashed her, made fun of her, set her up with staged questions, broadcast photo-shopped pictures of her in a bikini, edited her responses to make her appear stupid, trashed her husband as well as her daughters, why in the heck would she now be so rude as to not welcome them with open arms?

I've been wondering about that myself.

[Hot Tabasco]

“No press or other media allowed.”

Biden did the same thing a while back while being a guest speaker at a UAW convention...........

[curth]

Please come... Even though the media can’t be AT the Library, they may be at the main entrance before the checkpoint if there’s a checkpoint.

.......and you can be sure they will lift every rock there is in order to find a Sarah hater in the crowd.

[SoCalPol]

The folks who plan to run for Pres. should get a clue.
Sarah drew many thousands more at each event than the others. She has the Conservative message.

[SoCalPol]

I hope to be up there RD.

I hate to rush things but I wish it was 2012.
