This commercial was done by a local kid. You have to watch the whole thing.

A 'vote' is being taken by NOW on PBS, expecting that their 80% liberal viewers will dominate.  Let's prove that wrong.  Send to every non-liberal you know.  Let's get some balance into the voting group.

Email I recieved this week .. 

I received this from my sister in law. Great read.
One of our good friends, Eddie Spalten from San Antonio, fishes at the
Wildman Lodge on the Alaskan Peninsula. The lodge is owned by Butch and
Kathy Wildman. The Wildmans spend their winters in Texas and their
summers in Alaska. Kathy's father and former husband served in the
Alaskan legislature for around 30 years so Butch and Kathy know Alaska
politics. Eddie emailed Butch and asks Butch what the Wildmans think of
Gov. Sarah
Palin. Butch's unedited email is attached below. Please read it and
forward it to your friends. This is what the citizens of Alaska think
of Sarah Palin!

Thanks, Gene Powell

Subject: Who is Sarah

Hi Eddie:

Fishing is good here at Wildman and I rarely have time for politics, but
many of our friends are asking us "Who is Sarah Palin?" Of course, as
Alaskans, Kathy and I are extremely proud of her. We just want to let
you know that Sarah "Barracuda" Palin is a straight shooting, hard
charging, get it done gal. She knows when to listen, how to analyze the
facts and how to make a decision, then implement the plan. She doesn't
do a poll before jumping in with both feet like too many of the
Washington types. She has little legislative experience because she has
always held the EXECUTIVE position; in private life, as mayor of
Anchorage's largest bedroom community or more recently as Governor of
our State. She is a smart, attractive home grown Alaska girl with
excellent moral and family values. She can see what needs to be done
and does not hesitate to get it done.

One of our State's major problems is that its Capital is in Juneau, 500
miles from the nearest road and 800 air miles from the population base
which is Anchorage, Wasilla and Fairbanks. Our legislature and most of
the State government is in Juneau and they ALL behave like a bunch of
freshmen in a college town. It has been this way since Statehood in
1959. When Sarah moved to Juneau, so did accountability and
responsibility When the oil revenue started flown and a barrel of North
Slope Crude hit $23.00, these people began spending money like drunken
sailors. You can only imagine what was happenings when oil hit $100.00
a barrel, about the time Sarah took command. My wife Kathy has
first-hand experience with this fiasco, as her father and also her
ex-husband were Alaska Legislators who served in Juneau as Senators,
Senate President, or members of the State House for a combined period
spanning nearly three decades.

About the time Sarah took the HELM as Governor of Alaska, about half of
the State legislature was in the pocket of big oil companies or
contractors doing big projects for Native Corporations around Alaska,
all funded by State oil revenue. Alaska government was nothing but a
good old boys club riding the perpetual wave of prosperity. This
filtered down from the legislature, through the Department of Natural
Resources, Department of Labor and even spilled in to the Public Safety
who are supposed to "preserve and protect".

When Sarah walked into the Governor's Mansion, she promptly dismissed
the State Trooper detachment assigned to Governor and had her and her
husband's gun case brought in from Wasilla. Then, she got rid of the
former Governor's STATE Jet and told legislators that there were no more
free rides, they would have to fly Alaska Airlines, just like her and
her family if they wanted to travel. Next came the nut cutting (the
Barracuda part) the heads that rolled were too numerous to name, but
when Sarah finished cleaning house, a number of our legislators ended up
in jail for on corruption charges, or tendered their resignations along
with numerous department heads and those who have been riding the gravy
train for way too long, AND THEN SHE HAD LUNCH. By the end of the day,
Sarah Palin had saved the people of Alaska millions and has not yet
slowed down.

She has truly brought CHANGE to Juneau. I personally know several
persons in the private sector in Alaska, that hold her in high esteem.
She surrounds herself with smart people, many from my hometown of
Anchorage, she listens to them but makes her own decisions. Sarah Palin
is a no B.S. politician. It is refreshing that there is such a thing
anymore. You want to talk about CHANGE? You should see a before and
after picture of the State government in Alaska. That's CHANGE! Sarah
will bring a number of things to the election. I am sure she will
appeal many voters who my otherwise could have gone the other direction
on election day. The conservative block will not be for Barack. We
have their vote. We need what Sarah will bring, first to the election
and second, what she will bring to Washington D.C. McCain has been
advised well, Let's just hope the American people can get the straight
scoop on her in the weeks ahead. This is just the opinion of one
Alaska Bush Pilot and Guide, who pays attention to national politics,
watches the news and is deathly afraid of the direction our nation is
headed. I guarantee that if Sarah gets a chance to dig her spurs into
the flanks of the liberal Washington types, they will know that she is
in the saddle.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.


OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.
)

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN
15% (no change)

OBAMA
39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.
')

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN

(no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Under Obama, your taxes could almost double!

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN
- 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA
Restore the inheritance tax

Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.


NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA

New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!
