nuclear weapons they are a threat to the world.

we have here in the U.S.

Speeches
Here is a blurb from Sarah's speech in Lewiston, Maine regarding the Somali immigration: “I'm not saying that
immigration is a bad thing. I can understand why people would want to immigrate to a country like ours. However, it's beginning to get out of control. Too many immigrants are coming over. This town is a perfect example of this.
Schools are overcrowded, and people are fed up...”
Speeches Cont.
Here is a blurb from Sarah's speech in Los Angeles, CA regarding gay marriage: “A clear example of how your state
feels about gay marriage was shown when the state overturned the same sex marriage law. If marriage was meant to be between anyone other than a man and a
woman, then it would have no problem passing in any state that put it to a vote.”
Republican National Convention
This years Republican National Convention was held at the Dallas Convention Center in Dallas, TX. The nominees were Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee. (John McCain
would've been there too if he hadn't of dropped out earlier in the race.) Sarah Palin won the parties nomination, and
will move onto the general election against the Democratic nominee, Ellen Degeneres.
We need a President that we can take seriously, we don't need someone that's constantly fooling around.
Marriage is meant to be between one man and one woman. Do you want a president that destroys the true meaning of marriage? I didn't think so...

just goes to show you what kind of country this is, and how much we've progressed through the years...”
