    Dear Fellow Californians,

    We, California members of Sarah Palin’s Earthquake Grassroots Movement, are asking you to unite with us in our efforts to draft former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as a write-in candidate in our great State. Please join the many Independents, Democrats, Conservatives who neglected their party affiliation, joined the GOP to support and put faith in the Governor to unite and lead our nation back to the strong America that it was. It is not too late. The filing deadline for a write-in candidacy in our state is May 15, 2012.

    President Obama in 2008 promised to usher in an era of hope and change. Yet the country’s mood right now is gloomy and pessimistic.101% debt-to-GDP ratio. $5 gas price at the pump. High unemployment rate. Unresolved housing crisis. More people on food stamps than ever. Businesses closing shop. If there is a state that understands the pain of these problem, it IS California.

    We need a new leadership and ”the challenge is not simply to replace Obama in 2012 but the real challenge is who and what we will replace him with.” We need someone who will bring sudden and relentless reform to Washington. We need a leader with an incorruptible character and a steel spine to dismantle crony capitalism and the permanent political class in our nation’s capital.

    Unfortunately, in this year’s primary election, the GOP frontrunner is a deeply flawed, weak, flip-flopping, can’t-connect-with-a-Joe-six-pack, stiff liberal guy from Massachusetts whose core convictions are as solid as jello: Mitt Romney. The other candidates are now dropping hints or are making behind-closed doors deals with the Romney team to save their own political aspirations.

    Mitt Romney’s campaign has recently confirmed that his ”severe conservatism” can be easily shaken and erased like an Etch-A-Sketch. With his shifting positions on issues depending on who he is running against, how can he be trusted to keep his campaign pledge to repeal Obamacare? How much would it take him for him to shake off his election promises when they no longer serve him politically?

    Mitt Romney is well ahead in this race, thanks to his six years of non-stop campaigning for the presidency and the unabashed support of the GOP establishment. The Republican Party has been very clear in their support of the former Massachusetts governor, openly advocating voters and delegates to get behind him.

    Mitt Romney cannot be trusted. California deserves better. America can do better.

    Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has always said that she does not need a title to make a difference. Last October, she announced that she would not be seeking the GOP nomination for the Presidency in this year’s election. Indeed, great leaders are those who are reluctant to serve, who seek neither power nor title to do good. They are CALLED to serve. Just as our past presidents George Washington and Dwight Eisenhower resisted the encouragements for them to run for office, they eventually stepped up to the plate and served our country well and honorably. Please let Sarah Palin know that she is now being CALLED to serve.

    This is the most consequential election in our time. Another four years will seal the president’s disastrous fundamental transformation of America. The difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama and their records cannot be starker.

    Sarah Palin gave Alaska a surplus of $14B, earning the last frontier state a Triple A credit rating. Barack Obama has added $4.939T to our national debt since he took office and gave us a credit rating downgrade for the first time in history. Sarah Palin took on the corrupt system and signed the most sweeping ethics reform in Alaska. We are yet to see a single ”greedy fat cat”, as Barack Obama likes to call those who were responsible for our country’s financial meltdown, be brought to justice. Yet these are the same people who grace this administration’s fundraising events, donating big bucks to his $1B reelection war chest. Sarah Palin believes in American’s work ethic and independent spirit that we are free and able to achieve anything. Barack Obama believes that you cannot succeed without government’s help, thus his policies are to increase more cradle-to-grave, unsustainable, unfunded social programs. Sarah Palin looks to our Constitution as the ultimate compass in governing. Barack Obama sees it as a living document subject to change according to his whim and his political convenience.

    California has the power to lift this cloud of malaise and pessimism brought about by President Obama. Do not allow the GOP establishment to stifle our voice. On June 5, 2012, WE will have the chance to set things right. Make our vote count. Write Sarah Palin in.

    Please sign our petition and let Sarah Palin know that her leadership is badly needed in Washington. Go to http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/california-draft-sarah-palin-as-a-write-in-candidate.html, let her know that you will fight alongside her in putting our country in the right track. Let her know that she has the grassroots support to defeat Barack Obama and his socialist agenda. She’s always had our backs, it is time to let her know that we’ve got hers.

    Thank you for your support and please remember, it is not too late. A win for Sarah Palin in California will take the nomination to Tampa at the GOP Convention where she rightfully be chosen to represent “We the People” and the United States of America!

    God Bless Us All, God Bless America,
