She is the second female vice presidential candidate representing a major political party, after Democrat Geraldine Ferraro in 1984, and the First in the Republican Party. Sarah Louise Heath Palin ( born February 11, 1964) is the current governor of the U.S. state of Alaska, and is the Republican vice presidential nominee in the 2008 United States presidential election. In 2006, Palin was sworn in as the governor of Alaska, becoming the first woman and youngest person to hold the office. She is the first governor born after Alaska achieved statehood. Palin was elected to two terms on the Wasilla, Alaska, city council from 1992 to 1996, then won two terms as mayor of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002. from St. Paul, Minnesota. Palin has strongly promoted oil and natural gas resource development in Alaska, including in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), where such development has been the subject of a national debate. She also helped pass a tax increase on oil company profits. Palin has followed through on plans to create a new sub-cabinet group of advisers to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions within Alaska. When asked about climate change after becoming Senator McCain's presumptive running mate, she stated that it would "affect Alaska more than any other state", but she added, "I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made." Shortly after taking office, Palin rescinded 35 appointments made by Murkowski in the last hours of his administration, including that of his former chief of staff James "Jim" Clark to the Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority. In March 2007, Palin presented the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA) as the new legal vehicle for building a natural gas pipeline from the state's North Slope. This negated a deal by the previous governor to grant the contract to a coalition including BP (her husband's former employer). Only one legislator, Representative Ralph Samuels, voted against the measure, and in June, Palin signed it into law. On January 5, 2008, Palin announced that a Canadian company, TransCanada Corporation, was the sole AGIA-compliant applicant. In August 2008, Palin signed a bill into law giving the state of Alaska authority to award TransCanada Pipelines $500 million in seed money and a license to build and operate the $26-billion pipeline to transport natural gas from the North Slope to the Lower 48 through Canada. In response to high oil and gas prices, and the resulting state government budget surplus, Palin proposed giving Alaskans $100-a-month energy debit cards. She also proposed providing grants to electrical utilities so that they would reduce customers' rates. She subsequently dropped the debit card proposal, and in its place she proposed to send each Alaskan $1,200 from the windfall surplus resulting from high oil prices. In 2007, Palin supported the Alaska Department of Fish and Game policy allowing Alaska state biologists to hunt wolves from helicopters as part of a predator control program intended to increase moose populations. The program was criticized by Defenders of Wildlife and predator control opponents, and prompted California State Representative George Miller to introduce a federal bill (H.R. 3663) seeking to make the practice illegal. In March 2008, a federal judge in Alaska upheld the practice of hunting wolves from the air, though limited its extent. On Watch the video you didn't see on TV at the 2008 Republican National Convention! August 26, 2008, Alaskans voted against ending the state's predator control program. Part 1 of 5 (Less)

Description: RALPH WILL BE ON THE DAILY SHOW TUSEDAY MARCH 4, 2008, SPREAD THE WORD. Also, tomorrow there are primaries for the corporate Democrats and Republicans. Here's one thing we've figured out: (More) RALPH WILL BE ON THE DAILY SHOW TUSEDAY MARCH 4, 2008, SPREAD THE WORD. Also, tomorrow there are primaries for the corporate Democrats and Republicans. Here's one thing we've figured out: Nader/Gonzalez are on one side of the political fence. Obama/Clinton/McCain are on the other side. So, now you have a choice.If you are feeling alienated, abused, and misused by the two corporate parties, declare your independence by joining the Nader/Gonazalez peace train.We're planning on making a bold statement this year against the corporate takeover of our democracy. ******IF YOU WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA/CLINTON/MCCAIN, GIVE NOW TO NADER/GONZALEZ.*************** We're looking for 300 of our loyal contributors to give at least $100 each before Ralph Nader appears on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart tomorrow night at 11 p.m. EST. Remember - you can keep giving to Nader/Gonzalez until you have contributed the maximum permitted under federal law - $2,300 per person. Contribute early and contribute often. And then check out Ralph Nader and Jon Stewart tomorrow night. ONWARD The Nader Team Ralph will appear Monday 3/1/08 on the Lou Dobbs Radio Show from 3:10 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. EST nader announces matt gonzalez as his running mate.http://www.votenader.org/ NADER ON C-SPAN 2/29/08 rtsp://video.c-span.org/archive/c08/c08_wj022908_nader.rm Matt Gonzalez switched to the Green Party in what he called "a political or moral epiphany." Gonzalez was attending a rally at the offices of KRON-TV in San Francisco to protest the absence of Green Party senatoral candidate Medea Benjamin at a debate between Senator Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, and her Republican challenger Tom Campbell. Gonzalez described his conversion to the San Francisco Bay Guardian:" I couldn't help thinking of how most of my support in last year's district attorney's race came as a result of being allowed into televised debates with my better-known opponents and how that support has eventually led to my being the frontrunner in the District 5 supervisorial race.The more I thought about it, the more I knew I wasn't OK with it. I didn't want to be a member of a party that was urging the exclusion of a candidate solely on the grounds that the candidate didn't have enough support, when it's precisely television coverage that could win that candidate public acceptance. So if the Democratic Party is working so hard to squelch valuable debate, why should I remain a Democrat? I was already discouraged by Al Gore's pronouncements, during the presidential debates, in favor of the death penalty and his equivocation on gay marriage. As I reflected on this, I realized I had less in common with Feinstein's party than with Medea Benjamin's".In 2000, a system of electing supervisors by district rather than citywide took effect. At the urging of Supervisor Tom Ammiano, Gonzalez ran for supervisor in newly made District 5 (besides Hayes Valley, District 5 comprises the Haight-Ashbury, the Western Addition, Alamo Square, and the easternmost part of the Sunset District). In the run-off election, Gonzalez's opponent, Juanita Owens, tried to take advantage of his Green Party affiliation and capitalize on many Democrats' ill feelings toward the Green Party in the wake of the acrimonious 2000 presidential election,but Gonzalez won the run-off election. Like all municipal elections in San Francisco, elections for supervisor are nonpartisan, but some Greens saw the election of their candidate as a significant achievement because, for the first time, a Green Party member had been elected to an important position in San Francisco.He was elected on a slate of candidates who wanted to change the direction of city policy, in opposition to the "Brown machine." a Democratic Party political machine that had dominated local politics for over thirty years behind Mayor Willie Brown, the Pelosi family, and other Democrats.His supporters saw his election as a turning point in local politics.According to San Francisco State University political science professor Richard DeLeon,"The beginning of the end probably was in 2000, when San Francisco returned to district elections...The results brought in Gonzalez and other new supervisors not beholden to Brown. It opened the door for a new wave of young neighborhood politicians who didn't need the type of citywide support political leaders like Brown and [John and Phil] Burton had provided over the years."Two years later, Gonzalez was elected president of the Board of Supervisors against the opposition of Mayor Willie Brown and many local Democrats, including former Board president Tom Ammiano. After seven rounds of voting, the tie-breaking vote came from an unlikely source, conservative Board member Tony Hall, who said, "Gonzalez is a man of integrity and intelligence who will carry out his responsibilities fairly and impartially." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Gonzalez (Less)
