As president, first John McCain will impose a spending freeze to cover all, but the most vital functions of government, like worker re-training and taking care of our veterans. </p> <p>LABEL: SP PA 10-14 (LS#19) clipA</p> <p>If youd like to download this clip, VISIT: <br />https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/v2bi1mmtju</p> <p>If youd like to download this event, VISIT: <br />https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/exfy237i5f</p> </div> <a href="/blog/63428-sarah-palin-rally-10-14-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/63306-sarah-palin-rally-10-17-08 2009-01-09T02:43:37Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j0C7v0dRDW8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/j0C7v0dRDW8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/63306-sarah-palin-rally-10-17-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/79359" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Sarah Palin <br />Rally <br />Noblesville, IN 10/17/08</p> <p>TRANSCRIPT: <br />SARAH PALIN: A little bit about my track record, as a mayor I eliminated personal property taxes for my city, and I eliminated small business inventory taxes, there to wanting to be able to hang that shingle outside our city door that says, we want business to be there, we want businesses to grow and to thrive and to prosper, so that they can hire more people for the families in the communities. Then, as governor, I eliminated our state fuel tax, we had a surplus there so I took a chunk of that surplus and returned it around right back to the people of Alaska. Its their money, and they can spend it better than government can spend it for them. And I put the veto pen to nearly half a billion dollars in wasteful spending, and you ruffle feathers when you do that. You dont get elected Ms. Congeniality when youre saying no to the earmarks. [Crowd yells out] Yeah, thats good. I got that a long time ago, twenty years ago anyways, the Ms. Congeniality.

Ive taken on my party every time when its necessary for the good of the American people. He, I have never asked for, nor received a single earmark pork barrel project for my state of Arizona. In the short time that hes been in the United States Senate he has asked for nearly 1 billion dollars in earmark pork barrel projects for his state. Nearly a million dollars for every day that hes been in office, and thats change?

In just three years our opponent has requested nearly $1billion in earmarks.</p> <p>That's nearly a million dollars for every working day. So, as we reformed the abuses of earmarks. in our state, our opponent was requesting nearly a billion dollars in earmarks, as a senatorial privilege, as I was vetoing half a billion as an executive responsibility. So now we are ready together to work together to reform these corrupt practices, end them once and for all in our congress.</p> <p>Something very, very important, for all of you who are paying such a hefty price at the pump, also, to fuel your vehicles, heat your homes, cool your homes: through competition, as governor, I got agreements to build a nearly $40 billion natural gas pipeline that's gonna lead America towards that energy independence that we must have for our security and our prosperity. Energy will be such a high priority in our administration, the McCain-Palin administration will expand nuclear energy, we're gonna expand our use of alternative fuels, we're gonna help you conserve energy and we're gonna drill now to make this nation energy independent.</p> <p>I can promise you that we're gonna have American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers.</p> <p>JM SP OH 09-09 (JR#64) JHK - ClipC LS</p> <p>To download a high resolution version of this clip, visit: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/6yk175fpeh">issuealliance.box.net</a> </p> <p>To download the full event, visit: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/366hv4n41d">issuealliance.box.net</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/52781-sarah-palin-speech-09-09-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/52751-palin-an-earmark-reformer-simply-laughable 2008-10-31T03:30:38Z tpmtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9xbn_AXlaeY&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9xbn_AXlaeY&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/52751-palin-an-earmark-reformer-simply-laughable"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/63985" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><p>Sarah Palin a champion of earmark reform?

I reminded people that government is not always the answer, in fact, too often government is the problem. So here's what we did: we got back to the basics and I put the local government there back on the side of the people.</p> <p>I eliminated taxes on property; on personal property. I eliminated taxes on those small business inventories; this was hurting small business. We took that tax away. Property taxes were way too high. So every year I cut rates for six years in a row and those reforms worked and our communities soared. We started takin' off.</p> <p>So then, as governor, I brought that same agenda of positive change to the state level. We took on the old politics as usual in Juneau and we broke the monopoly that had controlled our state; that was the lobbyists and the special interests associated with big oil companies. We came to office promising major ethics reform to end the culture of closed doors and self-dealing and today that ethics reform is the law of the state. We cleaned it up!</p> <p>I thought it was important also, as mayor and governor, to try to lead by example. So what I did, as mayor, I took a voluntary pay cut, which didn't really thrill my husband and then, as governor, I cut the personal chef position from the budget, which didn't thrill my kids and then I put the state's government checkbook on-line for all to see, which didn't thrill a lot of the bureaucrats and, as you may have heard, the luxury jet that came with the office: I put it on eBay. </p> <p>What I had done was promise to control spending when I came into office so I didn't want to just be walking the walk. We didn't want to just talk about it. We wanted to actually do it by request, if possible, and by veto, if necessary is how I would control spending and today our state budget is under control and we do have a surplus and I put the veto pen to nearly half a billion dollars in reckless spending.</p> <p>JM SP OH 09-09 (JR#64) JH - ClipA LS</p> <p>To download a high resolution version of this event, visit: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/j1aqhfqb6i">issuealliance.box.net</a> </p> <p>To download the full event, visit: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/366hv4n41d">issuealliance.box.net</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/52739-sarah-palin-speech-09-09-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/52737-sarah-palin-speech-09-09-08 2008-10-30T21:29:46Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GELdUdPMltE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GELdUdPMltE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/52737-sarah-palin-speech-09-09-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/63970" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>John McCain <br />Speech <br />Lebanon, OH 09/09/08</p> <p>TRANSCRIPTION <br />SARAH PALIN: You're gonna hear a lot about the abusive practice of earmarks in congress from our good senator [McCain] here.
