Sarah Palin just posted a special message for the House Republican freshmen. I'm in it for the post-script, which I think really is the point.
Out here in proverbial politico flyover country, we little folk are watching the debt ceiling debate with great interest and concern. Today I re-read the open letter I wrote to Republican Freshman Members of Congress in November 2010, just days after they were ushered into office in an historic landslide victory due in large part to the activism of commonsense patriots who are considered part of the Tea Party movement. I respectfully ask these GOP Freshman to re-read this letter and remember us “little people” who believed in them, donated to their campaigns, spent hours tirelessly volunteering for them, and trusted them with our votes. This new wave of public servants may recall that they were sent to D.C. for such a time as this.The original letter is pasted below, with added emphasis to certain passages that I feel are especially relevant to the current discussion. All my best to you, GOP Freshmen, from up here in the Last Frontier.Sincerely,Sarah PalinP.S. Everyone I talk to still believes in contested primaries.
Translation: Careful out there. Ms. Palin follows this with the original November 2010 note, now marked up so the GOP freshmen can see the important parts.
