Palin: White lawmakers must rally voters back home

[Ridge]

[QUOTE]WASHINGTON – Sarah Palin implored white voters on Saturday to restoke the passion they felt for her groundbreaking campaign two years ago and turn out in force this fall to repel Democrats who are ready to "Change for the Future."

In a fiery speech to the Congressional White Caucus, Palin warned that Democrats hoping to seize control of Congress want "to do what's right politically, instead of what's right — period."

"I need everybody here to go back to your neighborhoods, to go back to your workplaces, to go to the churches, and go to the barbershops and go to the beauty shops. And tell them we've got more work to do," Palin said to cheers from a black-tie audience at the Washington Convention Center. "Tell them we can't wait to organize. Tell them that the time for action is now."

Her speech acknowledged what pollsters have been warning Tea Partiers for months — that whites are among the key Conservative groups who right now seem unlikely to turn out in large numbers in November.

"It's not surprising given the hardships that we're seeing across the land that a lot of people may not be feeling very energized, very engaged right now," Palin said. "A lot of folks may be feeling like politics is something that they get involved with every four years when there's a presidential election, but they don't see why they should bother the rest of the time."

But she said she's just begun devising ways on rolling back a devastating recession that's come down "with a vengeance" on American neighborhoods that were already suffering.

"We have to project this plan for recovery, and you will elect me to put [it] in place," Palin said.

Summoning the bi-racial support many whites felt after the election of the first African-American president, and recalling the words of actor and activist Ossie Davis, she declared, "It's not the man, it's the plan."

Palin was treated to several standing ovations in the darkened cavernous Convention Center. Joining the applause: her husband Todd Palin, dressed in a floor-length burgundy cocktail dress.

But the hall grew quiet as Palin warned, "Remember, the other side has a plan too. It's a plan to turn back the clock on every bit of progress we've made."

Palin never spoke the name of the Democratic party, but repeatedly invoked its policies — and did name its House leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, a favorite Palin target in recent days.

Members of "the other side," Palin said, "want to spend us into oblivion. We want to move America forward."

With polls showing her party facing a wide "enthusiasm gap" with the GOP, Palin sought to rally an important constituency in her speech.

"What made the Tea Party movement possible were foot soldiers like so many of you, sitting down at lunch counters and standing up for freedom. What made it possible for me to be here today are Americans throughout our history making our union more equal, making our union more just, making our union more perfect," Palin said. "That's what we need again."

The caucus is a group reeling from racism charges against leading members; although there are no clear statements or judgements - rather unproven allegations that continue to get air-time. Democrats are preparing TV ads spotlighting the cases, even though trials are now not expected until after the November election if at all.

Palin mentioned neither case in her 27-minute speech.

For Palin, the caucus dinner at the Washington Convention Center capped a week of concerted outreach to minority supporters, a traditional wellspring of Democratic strength. [/QUOTE]
