Author Preface -

Its a blessing to learn from the lives of others. Inspiration can flood our hearts and motivation can fuel our minds when we learn how backgrounds have influenced someones success or how a setback encouraged an overcoming story. The challenge is that reading a long biography book or watching a biography documentary can be exhausting. An InspireMe Biography is ready-to-order wisdom and drive-thru inspiration you can take home to your heart and pass on to friends and family. Its principle driven and anchored by the lessons found in the challenges and perseverance of others. Biographies can reflect values we can share with our children and apply to our own life. Think of what you remember when you do experience a biography. What story, principle or lesson do you take with you and keep in mind for your own life? What if a biography was already shrunk down to these core memorable principles ready to go? Sarah Palin has been an inspirational leader as the first female governor of Alaska and the first Republican vicepresidential candidate. Her passion and charisma seems to draw people like a magnet. No matter what you think of Sarah Palin, her life testimony can be inspirational to everyone. Whether you are a man or woman, republican or democrat, of voting age or just beginning to read, it is our hope and prayer you will be inspired by these dynamic principles from her life.
Dan & Dave Davidson, September 2011

Foreword What makes Sarah Palins story so inspiring is that it embodies the American experience. She wasnt born into wealth; she didnt have anything handed to her. She had to work hard to get where she is today. She is a hockey mom and member of the PTA who shopped at Walmart, likes country music, and hunting Caribou. She was ordinary, and yet extraordinary in her pace and level of achievement. From her time in local politics through her Alaska Governors mansion, Palin took on the establishment and won. She persevered through personal attacks and challenges proving that you cant keep a Mama Grizzly down. Despite what the national media says about Sarah Palin, her ability to connect with people of all walks of life is amazing. Weve seen it first hand on the sidewalks of Pella, Iowa and in the cattle barn at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. People dont flock to Palin, they are drawn to her because of the warmth and compassion she displays for all people. Sarah Palin is inspiring. Nobody captures the heart and soul of presidential politics in Iowa like Dan and Dave Davidson do through the lens of their cameras with their Prezography style of photography. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the Davidson brother duo have already assembled a librarys worth of stories from the 2012 caucuses ready to tell the presidential story. Enjoy this simple, yet profound snapshot of Palins life condensed for inspiration Dan and Dave style via their unique Inspire Me Biography format in the following chapter topics: American Spirit, Lipstick Liberty, Hockey Mom, Pro Life Example, Pit Bull Reformer, Tea Party Patriot, Obama Overcomer and Alaskan Adventurer.

Sarah Palin first made history on December 4, 2006 when she was sworn in as the first female governor of Alaska. In August 2008, Senator John McCain tapped Palin to serve as his vicepresidential running mate in his presidential campaign, making her the first woman to run on the Republican Party's presidential ticket. In Alaska, her top priorities included fiscal restraint, limiting the size of government, resource development, education, equitable oil valuation as well as transportation and infrastructure development. Palin fought for ethics reform and transparency in government. Palin has a long record of achievement and experience in public office. Prior to her election as Governor, Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council and two terms as the mayor of Wasilla. During her tenure, she reduced property tax levels while increasing services and made Wasilla a business-friendly environment, drawing in new industry. Under her leadership as Governor, Alaska invested $5 billion in state savings, overhauled education funding and protected Alaska's natural resources. She created Alaska's Petroleum Systems Integrity Office to provide oversight and maintenance of oil and gas equipment, facilities and infrastructure and the Climate Change Subcabinet to prepare a climate change strategy for Alaska. During Governor Palin's first year in office, three of her administration's major proposed pieces of legislation passedan overhaul of the state's ethics laws, a competitive process to construct a natural gas pipeline and a restructuring of Alaska's oil valuation formula. Palin is past chair of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, a multistate government agency that promotes the conservation and efficient recovery of domestic oil and natural gas resources while protecting health, safety and the environment. She also served as chair of the National Governors Association (NGA) Natural Resources Committee, which was charged with pursuing legislation to ensure state needs are considered as federal policy is formulated in the areas of agriculture, energy, environmental protection and natural resource management.

Sarah Heath Palin arrived in Alaska with her family in 1964, when her parents came to teach school in Skagway. She is married to Todd Palin, who is a lifelong Alaskan, worked as a production operator on the North Slope and is a four-time champion of the Iron Dog, the world's longest snowmachine race. They have five children. Born on February 11, 1964, in Sandpoint, Idaho, Governor Palin moved to Alaska with her family at the age of three months, when her father took a teaching position in Skagway, Alaska, before eventually settling in Wasilla. A graduate of Wasilla High School, Governor Palin was the cocaptain and point guard of Wasillas 1982 state championship womens basketball team. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho in 1987. Palin is a contributor for FOX News where she offers her political commentary and analysis across all FOX News platforms, including FOX Business Channel, FOXNews.com and FOX News Radio. She also participates in special event political programming for FOX Broadcasting. She is the author of The New York Times best-selling books, Going Rogue: An American Life (November 2009) and America by Heart (November 2010) and was named to TIME magazines 2010 "100 Most Influential People" list. She was also the host of the 8-week documentary series Sarah Palins Alaska on TLC. In 2011 a biographical documentary directed by Phillip K. Bannon called The Undefeated about Sarahs life debuted across America. This proves again that she is a viable candidate for President of the United States as she continues to influence this country as a tea party patriot. Look for her to continue influence the next election no matter what role she plays.

American Spirit
Sarah Palin Inspires Me to embrace our American spirit.

PREZ SAYS: Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America. Calvin Coolidge

No one expects us all to agree on everything, but we are expected to govern with integrity, and goodwill, and clear convictions, and a servant's heart. And I pledge to all Americans that I will carry myself in this spirit
Sarah Palin

Sarah once said, We don't need to fundamentally transform America. We need to restore America. Yes we need to restore America more towards what the founding fathers intended with the constitution.

When the American spirit was in its youth, the language of America was different: Liberty, sir, was the primary object.
Patrick Henry InspireMeBiography.com

Lipstick Liberty
Sarah Palin Inspires Me to defend and preserve liberty.

Any people that would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin

The GOP needs to live the planks of its platform, not just offer lip service.
Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin believes that liberty is the anchoring framework for America. She has a great appreciation and respect for the service men and women who have sacrificed to protect our freedom. With a son serving in the army, Palin knows firsthand the ongoing responsibility and challenge to preserve our liberty. She is inspiring with her bold and passionate support of our nation's founding principles proclaimed and cherished in our constitution.

At this point in time our nation needs a drastic return back towards restoring liberty. Who will lead a such comeback and usher us back? Its an obvious chance to be a special part of history Obama was the first black president. Who will be the first woman president?
Dave Davidson

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty. John F. Kennedy

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

Thomas Jefferson

Double --- no triple --- our troubles and we'd still be better off than any other people on earth . . . . . . It is time that we recognized that ours was, in truth, a noble cause. Ronald Reagan

When I think of the flag, I see alternate strips of parchment upon which are written the rights of liberty and justice, and stripes of blood to vindicate those rights, and then, in the corner, a prediction of the blue serene into which every nation may swim which stands for these great things. Woodrow Wilson

Where liberty dwells, there is my country.

Benjamin Franklin

When the government fears the people, it is liberty. When the people fear the government, it is tyranny.
Thomas Paine

People know something has gone terribly wrong with our government and it has gotten so far off track. But people also know that there is nothing wrong in America that a good old-fashioned election can't fix.
Sarah Palin

Hockey Mom
Sarah Palin Inspires Me to be a loving parent.

I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom and signed up for the PTA. I love those hockey moms. You know, they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.
Sarah Palin

You know, from the inside, no family ever seems typical, and that's how it is with us. Our family has the same ups and downs as any other, the same challenges and the same joys.
Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge. And children with special needs inspire a very, very special love. Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin is an inspiring role-model not only for our children, but a standard bearer for women. She has found effective ways as a mother of five children to balance career and family.

I think there are a lot of women out there that look at her, holding her baby, talking about being a hockey mom, and say, 'She knows what I feel; she's going through what I am going through.
John Maxwell InspireMeBiography.com

A mother's love is made up of a fine and ample prime example.

Cyrano DeWords-u-lac

Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.

Robert Browning

The art of motherhood involves much silent, unobtrusive self-denial, an hourly devotion which finds no detail too minute.
Honore De Balzac

The most consistent gift and burden of motherhood is advice.

Susan Chira Palin has developed a thick skin about the scrutiny surrounding her parenting. While running for governor in 2006, she told NEWSWEEK, "They'd say, 'How in the world are you going to be governor when you have four kids?' and I said, 'How in the world did any other governor do it with four kids or six kids or however many kids they had?' " You mess with a hockey mom -- and even go after her family and you're bound to lose some teeth. Ruben Navarrette
I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.

Rodney Dangerfield

www.theUndefeatedMovie.com
Sarah Palins real record as Alaskan governor is uniquely depicted in the Undefeated movie. At the premiere in Pella, Iowa (where Sarah, Todd and the producers attended) spontaneous applause was followed by an impromptu heartfelt speech by Sarah where she gave most credit to the American people.
Dave Davidson

Pro Life Example

Sarah Palin Inspires Me to protect and cherish life.

PREZ SAYS: Ive noticed that everyone who is for abortion is already born. Ronald Reagan

I am pro-life and I believe that marriage should only be between and man and a woman.
Sarah Palin

The birth of Trig, Norse for "brave victory," turned out to be a powerful credential for the Republican base, delighted that Palin applying her pro life principles, delivered a child whose prenatal tests foretold had down syndrome.

The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government.
Thomas Jefferson

InspireMeBiography.com

America you are beautiful and blessed The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being, but especially the weakest and most defenseless. If you want equal justice for all and true freedom and lasting peace, then America, defend life.
Pope John Paul II

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mothers womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13,14

I am, in my own, state, I have voted along with the vast majority of Alaskans who had the opportunity to vote to amend our Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman. I wish on a federal level that that's where we would go because I don't support gay marriage. I'm not going to be out there judging individuals, sitting in a seat of judgment telling what they can and can't do, should and should not do, but I certainly can express my own opinion here and take actions that I believe would be best for traditional marriage and that's casting my votes and speaking up for traditional marriage that, that instrument that it's the foundation of our society is that strong family and that's based on that traditional definition of marriage, so I do support that. Sarah Palin

Pit Bull Reformer

Sarah Palin Inspires Me to stand up for what is right.

Patience and tenacity are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness. Thomas Huxley

Here's a little newsflash for those reporters and commentators:

I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion. I'm going to Washington to serve this great country.
Sarah Palin

Despite the relentless efforts of the liberal media to diffuse and confuse the facts, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin has a distinct unequivocal record of accomplishment when it comes to reform and holding bureaucrats accountable. If you happen to disagree, just go ask the oil company economic bullies and the party oppressors she put to task and see how happy they are now that they were courageously corrected in public.

I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment, and I have no plans to join.
Sarah Palin

Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reason and not just to mingle with the right people. Politics isn't just a game of clashing parties and competing interests. The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it. This was the spirit that brought me to the governor's office when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau, when I stood up to the special interests, and the lobbyists, and the Big Oil companies, and the goodold boys. Suddenly, I realized that sudden and relentless reform never sits well with entrenched interests and powerbrokers. That's why true reform is so hard to achieve. But with the support of the citizens of Alaska, we shook things up. And in short order, we put the government of our state back on the side of the people... I came to office promising to control spending, by request if possible, but by veto, if necessary... Our state budget is under control. We have a surplus. And I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending, nearly $500 million in vetoes. Sarah Palin

Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.
Louis Pasteur

It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong. Voltaire

When oil and gas prices went up dramatically and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged: directly to the people of Alaska. And despite fierce opposition from oil company lobbyists, who kind of liked things the way that they were, we broke their monopoly on power and resources. As governor, I insisted on competition and basic fairness to end their control of our state and return it to the people. Sarah Palin

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide todo. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward. Amelia Earhart
Sarah Palin is definitely part of the "we" - the small town, blue-collar Americans who will decide this election.
Jack Kelly

Tea Party Patriot

Sarah Palin Inspires Me to share my tea party beliefs.

We cant all be Washingtons, but we can all be patriots. Charles F. Browne

The Republican Party would be really smart to absorb as much of the Tea Party movement as possible. Sarah Palin
It may be true that Sarah Palin was tea party before tea party ever went rogue. While liberals try to dismiss the spirit, relevance and passion of the tea party movement, Sarah Palin has embraced it. After all the tea party spirit is how this country was founded.

Like in the times of the book of Ester where King Exertes found a woman at the right time and place, Palin may be a modern day Ester.
Dave Davidson

I came to office promising major ethics reform to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is a law. While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor's office that I didn't believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over-the-top. I put it on eBay. Sarah Palin

We need leaders who will stand up for the little guy and listen once again. Sarah Palin

I am a conservative Republican, a firm believer in free market capitalism. A free market system allows all parties to compete, which ensures the best and most competitive project emerges, and ensures a fair, democratic process. Sarah Palin

America's finest - our men and women in uniform, are a force for good throughout the world, and that is nothing to apologize for. Sarah Palin

Obama Overcomer
Sarah Palin Inspires Me to fight against liberal agendas.

Better to fight for something than live for nothing. George S. Patton

This is a man (Obama) who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting and never use the word "victory," except when he's talking about his own campaign. Sarah Palin

Regardless of Sarah Palins role in the 2012 election she will no doubt give Barack Obama a run for his money vs. the predicted billion $ war campaign war chest he will attempt to use.

Normally when a woman candidate attacks a man, she risks coming across as shrill and strident. Instead, Sarah Palin is really kind of like a British politician who uses humor and sarcasm and wit and sass in a charming way to attack her opponent. When you can get someone laughing at your opponent, at that point its not strident.
Dick Morris

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free.
P.J. O'Rourke

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
Elmer Davis

In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hotblood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.
George Bernard Shaw

Tell me what is right and I will fight for it. Woodrow Wilson

And now, I've noticed a pattern with our opponent, and maybe you have, too. We've all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers, and there is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or even a reform, not even in the State Senate. Sarah Palin
Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities. Sarah Palin Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reason, and not just to mingle with the right people.
Sarah Palin

America needs more energy; our opponent is against producing it. Victory in Iraq is finally in sight, and he wants to forfeit. Terrorist states are seeking nuclear weapons without delay; he wants to meet them without preconditions. Al Qaida terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America, and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights. Government is too big; he wants to grow it. Congress spends too much money; he promises more. Taxes are too high, and he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan. Sarah Palin Sarah Palin is not only comfortable in her own skin, she is obviously comfortable underneath Obama's skin.
Rush Limbaugh

And let me be specific: The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, and raise payroll taxes, and raise investment income taxes, and raise the death tax, and raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars. Sarah Palin

Alaskan Adventurer
Sarah Palin Inspires Me to discover and explore America.

We eat, therefore we hunt. Sarah Palin

When I took my oath of office to serve as your Governor, remember, I swore to steadfastly and doggedly guard the interests of this great state like a grizzly with cubs, as a mother naturally guards her own. Alaska, as a statewide family, we've got to fight for each other, not against and not let external, sensationalized distractions draw us off course. As an exciting year of unpredictable change begins, we, too, have our work cut out for us. And we're all in this together. Just like our musk ox, they circle up to protect their future when they are challenged. We've got to do the same. Sarah Palin

If you were fortunate enough to catch an episode of the reality television series, Sarah Palins Alaska, you caught a glimpse of the Palin familys unique nature loving lifestyle. The Alaskan mindset is certainly different from New York and Louisiana, but that diversity is what makes the United States of America a special country. What you can take away for your life from this adventurous spirit?

Palin grew up embracing the Alaskan ideal - self-reliance, individualism, outdoorsmanship and conservative economic and social values.
Stephen Haycox

Born in the small town of Sandpoint, Idaho, in 1964, Sarah Heath was the third of four children in a blue-collar family that shortly afterwards moved to wintry Alaska America's second-newest state and its final frontier. The family settled into Alaska's outdoor ways. According to biographer, Kaylene Johnson, the freezer was always stuffed with fish and game. "Dad never stopped lining up adventures for us," said Chuck Heath, her older brother. "We could literally go hunting out our back door."

The fact that drilling won't solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all.
Sarah Palin

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist innature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller

Buck up or stay in the truck.

Sarah Palin Adventure without risk is Disneyland. Doug Coupland
