"Sarah Palin puts out campaign-style video - Andy Barr
Sarah Palin released a video Thursday that has the feel of an early campaign spot. Video Link
The video, titled "Mama Grizzlies," is produced by her political action committee and splices shots of Palin speaking and appearing with supporters and at tea party rallies.
Palin's remarks in the video, which borrow heavily from her speech to the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, touts this year as the year of conservative women.
"This year will be remembered as a year when common sense conservative women get things done for our country," Palin says at the beginning of the nearly two-minute video. "All across this country, women are standing up and speaking out for common sense solutions."
As Palin speaks, the video shows images of women young and old watching the former Alaska governor and holding signs protesting the Democratic majority in Washington.
One elderly woman in the video is making her way through a tea party rally in a wheelchair with a "Don't Tread on Me" sign on back.
Another sign reads: "Annoy Liberal: Work Hard & Pay Your Own Bills."
"These policies coming out of D.C. right now, this fundamental transformation of America — well a lot of women concerned about their kids' futures are saying we don't like this fundamental transformation and we're going to do something about it," Palin says. "It seems like it's kind of a mom awakening in the last year and a half where women are rising up and saying 'no, we've had enough already.' Because moms sort of just know when something is wrong.
"We're going to turn this thing around. We're going to get our country back on the right track," she continued. "Look out Washington, cause there's a whole stampede of elephants crossing the line and the e.t.a. for them stampeding through is November 2, 2010.""
