Update II:  The second $1,000 challenge has been met! Again, thank you all for your generosity!

Organize4Palin grows every day because of your love for our country and the belief in its people.

I look forward to working with you side by side in the coming days and hope to meet some of you face to face in Iowa on September 3rd.

Game on!

Karen Allen

Update:  Thank you all so much for your generous contributions to the Early States Fund. The response has been humbling, as we know in these economic times that every gift is a sacrifice. Your commitment to furthering the values and leadership of Gov. Palin for our country is unmatched by any current candidates’ supporters. From florists to stock analysts, retirees to students, Americans from all walks of life have jumped on board to say, “Count me in!”

I wanted to let you also know that the donation challenge made by the anonymous C4Per of $1,000 has been met! You all made him pay up big time! Thank you!

But the fun hasn’t ended yet.

Today I received a message from another Gov. Palin supporter, this one hailing from NC. She wrote to make an identical challenge. Let’s meet it head on. For every $100 donation, she will match it up to $1000. This supporter and so many more of you have proven that whatever state you’re in, we can all help in those crucial early state primaries.

And as said before, any amount is much appreciated. In the O4P grassroots community, every dollar goes a long way.

Thank you again for your support. None of what we do at O4P is possible without you.

P.S. We’ve had some good laughs over the captions you all wrote for Gov. Perry below…bless his heart.

Dear Friends,

We are profoundly grateful for the commitment, hard work, and insight of the C4P and O4P community who are working across the nation to support the values and leadership of Gov. Palin.  This is truly a team effort, as we work alongside each other, pounding with boots on the ground and fingers on the keyboard.  We are fortunate to serve with you and to know you.

Recently, we’ve received requests asking how to help in the most time critical efforts. We believe it’s crucial now to get behind O4P’s early state efforts en masse! O4P has chapters in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, and Florida. The path to the nomination will go through these states.

We have a number of ideas as to how the community can get behind these efforts, some of which are underway even now quietly. Most of these don’t cost any money at all, as we are an army of volunteers.  However, other efforts do cost:  advertising to reach other Palin supporters, providing literature on Gov. Palin’s accomplishments to potential voters, and reserving spaces at fairs and events to share information are just a few.

One vitally important way we can together support the early states effort is by donating to Organize4Palin’s Early States Fund. Reaching those early primary states and then spreading that success across the nation will provide Gov. Palin with an organized and strong network of volunteers should she decide to run, as we believe she will.

We have received a generous donation by a long time C4P-er who wishes to remain anonymous.  Our C4P friend was inspired by “Charter’s Challenge” on July 10 to challenge us once again.  For every $100 donated to the Early States Fund, this C4P-er will match that donation, up to a total of $1,000, for donations made through Sunday, August 21.

If you have the ability to do so in these challenging financial times, we urge you to give generously to the Early States Fund! Either way, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you are doing for this great country and in support of a great leader, Governor Sarah Palin. Again, it’s an honor and a privilege to serve with you in this great cause!

P.S. Before we go…anyone want to take a crack at what Gov. Rick Perry must have been thinking when he saw these volunteer placed O4P palm cards? Your help in the early states will place more of these cards in the hands of potential primary voters. Please help now!
