Sarah Palin At The RNC NPRIn these prepared remarks, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin introduces herself to the Republican delegates by talking about her family background and her tenure as the governor of Alaska. She paints herself in the speech as small town woman, who gets things done and who is an outsider to Washington, D. Driver Parallel Port Pci Card. C. Throughout the speech, she also frequently compares the GOP ticket with the Democratic one. The speech as delivered may vary from the following text. Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens I am honored to be considered for the nomination for vice president of the United States. I accept the call to help our nominee for president to serve and defend America. I accept the challenge of a tough fight in this election against confident opponents at a crucial hour for our country. And I accept the privilege of serving with a man who has come through much harder missions. United States, John S. Mc. Cain. It was just a year ago when all the experts in Washington counted out our nominee because he refused to hedge his commitment to the security of the country he loves. With their usual certitude, they told us that all was lost there was no hope for this candidate who said that he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war. But the pollsters and pundits overlooked just one thing when they wrote him off. They overlooked the caliber of the man himself the determination, resolve, and sheer guts of Sen. John Mc. Cain. The voters knew better. And maybe thats because they realize there is a time for politics and a time for leadership. Our nominee for president is a true profile in courage, and people like that are hard to come by. Hes a man who wore the uniform of this country for 2. Iraq who have now brought victory within sight. And as the mother of one of those troops, that is exactly the kind of man I want as commander in chief. Im just one of many moms wholl say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harms way. Our son Track is 1. And one week from tomorrow Sept. Iraq with the Army infantry in the service of his country. My nephew Kasey also enlisted and serves on a carrier in the Persian Gulf. My family is proud of both of them and of all the fine men and women serving the country in uniform. Track is the eldest of our five children. In our family, its two boys and three girls in between my strong and kind hearted daughters, Bristol, Willow and Piper. And in April, my husband, Todd, and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig. From the inside, no family ever seems typical. Thats how it is with us. Our family has the same ups and downs as any other the same challenges and the same joys. Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge. And children with special needs inspire a special love. To the families of special needs children all across this country, I have a message For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters. I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House. Todd is a story all by himself. Hes a lifelong commercial fisherman. Alaskas North Slope. United Steel Workers Union. Throw in his Yupik Eskimo ancestry, and it all makes for quite a package. We met in high school, and two decades and five children later hes still my guy. My mom and dad both worked at the elementary school in our small town. And among the many things I owe them is one simple lesson that this is America, and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity. My parents are here tonight, and I am so proud to be the daughter of Chuck and Sally Heath. Long ago, a young farmer and haberdasher from Missouri followed an unlikely path to the vice presidency. A writer observed We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity, and dignity. I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind when he praised Harry Truman. I grew up with those people. They are the ones who do some of the hardest work in America who grow our food, run our factories and fight our wars. They love their country, in good times and bad, and theyre always proud of America. I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids public education better. When I ran for City Council, I didnt need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too. Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we dont quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people arent listening. We tend to prefer candidates who dont talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco. As for my running mate, you can be certain that wherever he goes, and whoever is listening, John Mc. Cain is the same man. Im not a member of the permanent political establishment. And Ive learned quickly, these past few days, that if youre not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. But heres a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators Im not going to Washington to seek their good opinion. Im going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people. Politics isnt just a game of clashing parties and competing interests. The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it. No one expects us to agree on everything. But we are expected to govern with integrity, good will, clear convictions, and. I pledge to all Americans that I will carry myself in this spirit as vice president of the United States. This was the spirit that brought me to the governors office, when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau. I stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies, and the good ol boys network. Sudden and relentless reform never sits well with entrenched interests and power brokers. Thats why true reform is so hard to achieve. But with the support of the citizens of Alaska, we shook things up. And in short order we put the government of our state back on the side of the people. I came to office promising major ethics reform, to end the culture of self dealing. And today, that ethics reform is the law. While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governors office that I didnt believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on e. Bay. I also drive myself to work. And I thought we could muddle through without the governors personal chef although Ive got to admit that sometimes my kids sure miss her. I came to office promising to control spending by request if possible and by veto if necessary.
