Deb Frost from Alaska? Palin's "boots on the ground" in her native city and state? Hmmm...let's see.

Ok, so I received the following email from a dear friend in Idaho, via a "Deb Frost" of Alaska. The email speaks for itself...I'd just like to know that it's real.

If it's real, it's amazing...from little Wasilla, AK. If not, it's amazing that it's making its way around the country....all from virtual- Wasilla.

So, with a name like "Jack's wife"...and living in the coldest state with the hottest governor, I thought I'd put it out to my blogging friends to see if she's real. Well, is she?

Friends, countrymen, lend me your urban legends.... or not?

Judy,

Sarah Palin is the

US

's answer to Margaret Thatcher! Anyone who
thinks she cannot handle the job or deal briskly and efficiently with
ANY issue, including foreign governments … well, they haven't met our
Sarah <grin>.

As an Alaskan resident as well as a resident of Wasilla , AK , where
Sarah Palin was at one time Mayor … I can speak with confidence.
Governor Sarah Palin of

Alaska

is exactly what she portrayed during
her introduction this morning and exactly what our US Government
needs. She is ethical to a fault (if there is such a thing), a
refreshing change to the status-quo and as smart and determined a
PERSON (gender really isn't an issue here as far as I'm concerned) as
anyone could ask for at the head of government.

Sarah is no naïve "small town mayor" – she just *started out* there.
Btw, as Mayor of Wasilla, she brought this "small town" through a lot
of GOOD changes and left it at the end of her term having grown to the
4th largest CITY in

Alaska

– a lot of growth and a stronger economic
base than ever before.

She has EXECTUTIVE experience *running a government* (something NONE
of the other candidates can actually boast, even John McCain <g>) as
Governor of Alaska and got there by defeating the *incumbent*
Republican Governor, who was definitely part of the "old school" and
who WAS very much in the pocket of the big oil companies. We in

Alaska

wanted change – and we got it in the person of Sarah Palin!

Sarah Palin is everything she looks to be and more. Her approval
rating as Governor of Alaska has been as high as 95% and is currently
leveled out consistently in the upper 80 percentile throughout the
state (and in both
parties) - the HIGHEST approval rating of ANY sitting Governor.

Sarah has been turning around corruption in the Legislature of Alaska
- turning things on their ear for that matter; cutting spending in
spite of the increased income the state is currently receiving due to
the high oil prices - she has insisted on putting a huge amount of the
"windfall" into savings for the future rather than spending, spending,
spending - and has insisted from the get-go on what she refers to as
"honest, ethical and transparent governing" - no more closed door
meetings and dealings - the big oil companies thought she would be a
pushover and have learned better to their chagrin.

She understands the "real people" and the economic issues we all face
(Alaskans along with the rest of the country) - she was one of "us"
not long ago. Rather than passing useless "laws" or throwing money at
pet projects, she (most recently) temporarily suspended the state gas
tax (on gasoline at the pumps, fuel oil and natural gas for homes,
etc.) and has ordered checks issued to ALL residents of Alaska this
fall in an attempt to assist with the burden of high fuel costs for
the upcoming winter. I could go on and on, but that's enough for now
<smile>. She isn't doing these things to be popular – she is doing it
because her constituents are HURTING financially and she can help.

She became Governor of Alaska by defeating the Incumbent Republican
Governor and doing it *without* the money or the support of the
Republican Party, which was amazing in itself - and she won by a
landslide. The "powers that be" at that time totally underestimated
Sarah and learned better the hard way. She has done exactly what she
claimed she was going to do and is just as popular today as the day
she was elected - perhaps more so since even the Democrats up here
seem to like her - she works well with both sides in the Legislature
here.

Sarah "belongs" to us (Alaskans) ... and although we are going to be
terribly sorry to see her leave before she finishes the job she
started here (two years ago) straightening out OUR State <grin> . we
understand she is needed for a bigger purpose and hopefully her Lt.
Governor will be able to fill her shoes here and continue the job.

As for worrying about what would happen if McCain were to die or step
down or whatever ... Theta, up here in AK we've only been wondering
how long we would be able to KEEP Sarah in

Alaska

and have seen her as
our first woman President of the

USA

from the start. It's always been
a matter of whether she would wait until the end of her TWO terms as
Governor (no doubt at ALL that she would be re-elected if she ran for
a second term at the end of her current term) ... or end up in
  Washington sooner. She could do the job TODAY.

Personally, I feel a lot better about McCain now that I know he has
someone as savvy, as strong, as ethical and as steady as Sarah at his
back. She will be an excellent Vice President ... and my guess is will
be our US Republican Presidential candidate in four years - AND by
then the country will KNOW here – will love and respect her as we do
here - and she'll win by as much of a landslide as she did here in
  Alaska . I only wonder if McCain has a clue what he is unleashing on the
US of A <grin>.
She is going to be a fresh wind, but also a strong wind.

Is that enough of an endorsement? If not, I'll add this ... Jerry and
I have for many years felt the best "vote" was to vote for the lesser
of two "evils" and hope they didn't do too much damage. Two years ago
during our State Governor's race was the first time EVER that we
actually asked for not just a little sign to put in our yard showing
our support of our candidate (something we've never felt the desire to
do at all before) - we asked for a full 4' x 8' "SARAH PALIN FOR
GOVERNOR!" sign and were proud to have it. She hasn't let us or

Alaska

down. She will do the same for the

USA

if given the opportunity.

Feel free to pass this on to anyone who may be interested.

It seems like people either love her or hate her. I received this email link from a dem. family member of mine. The letter is too long to post here but I have the link to the snopes site confirming it's validity:

Great to hear!!

So often we all receive emails from some person who never existed.

Thanks for doing your homework.

Ask Deb to visit the blog. We'd love to have her write a piece. Have her email it to me at Dennis@DennisMansfield.com
