Who can get a copy of Palin's AIP speech?

[grasswire]

We ought to see that, pronto.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

1. How many times has she spoken before the AIP?

I know her appearance before them as Governor is documented. Did she appear before them as a speaker at other times?

2. Probably - she's been affiliated with them since 1994

I'd wager that there's boatloads of information that could make all of our heads spin with delight, only problem is we need to find them pronto.

4. Someone posted it on DU

It was a youtube video. You could try searching DU or youtube.

Apart from that fact that it exists, it was really pretty innocuous

6. Someone wrote up a transcript on KOS

I can dig it up if nobody else finds it... on a deadline here...

10. Here it is: Transcripted text of Palin's 2008 video message to the AIP:

From http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/9/1/4231/18477/878/581881 :

"Sarah Palin's transcript

I�m Governor Sarah Palin and I am delighted to welcome you to the 2008 Alaskan Independence Party Convention in the golden heart city of Fairbanks. Your party plays an important role in our state�s politics. I�ve always said that competition is so good, and that applies to political parties as well. I share your party�s vision of upholding the constitution of our great state. My administration remains focused on reining in government growth so individual liberty and opportunity can expand. I know you agree with that. We have a great promise to be a self-sufficient state, made up of the hardest-working, most grateful Americans in our nation. So as your convention gets underway I hope that you all are inspired by remembering that all those years ago, it was in this same city that Alaska�s constitution was born. And it was founded on hope and trust and liberty and opportunity. I carry that message of opportunity forward in my administration, as we continue to move our state ahead and create positive change. So I say good luck on a successful and inspiring convention. Keep up the good work, and God bless you."

8. you have to watch it again after you watch the AIP meetings on youtube

they talk about planting members in political parties for the future. then that speech is very telling. the aip is supposed to be connected to white supremacists and also ron paul.
