Closing the Great American Divide: Can We Come Together as a Country?
America is more divided than ever. Not just in our political polarization and governmental gridlock. According to Sarah Palin, the gap that exists between the “silent majority” of American voters in the heartland and the values and vision of the elites in Washington and the media is bigger than ever. In an era where pundits and pollsters have consistently failed to predict the political mood of the nation, Sarah Palin prevails. Her deep understanding of the hopes, dreams, values and anger of America’s heartland have made her one of the most influential and beloved figures in conservative politics. In this candid keynote, Governor Palin speaks truth to power and shares valuable insights into the voters who, with her critical endorsement, elected President Trump. Taking an unvarnished look at the current political landscape, she offers valuable insight into what all of us can do to bring the country together.
The Future of the Republican Party
Has Donald Trump forever altered the GOP? What lessons must we learn from the 2016 election? And what will the midterms bring? While politicos theorize about “rebranding,” Sarah Palin talks tough about restoring the trust of the American people. Fearless, principled and focused on traditional conservative and small town values, Governor Palin calls for tossing out the careful scripts, political consultants, focus groups and big bad media polls. In this energizing speech, she showcases the political instincts and insights that have made her a GOP kingmaker, leader of the Tea Party movement and sought-after anointer of up-and-coming conservative insurgents. Lending her powerful voice to the hopes of the “silent majority” of voters that elected President Trump, Governor Palin outlines what the Republican Party must do to capture their loyalty—and harness their power.
Family, Faith and Flag: Personal Reflections on Overcoming Challenges
Finding joy in raising a child with Down syndrome. Protecting family life as the first female GOP vice presidential candidate. Worrying, as every parent does, about a son deployed overseas. It’s one thing to overcome the challenges that so many women and families face. It’s another thing to do it in the constant glare of the public spotlight. Over the past decade, we have all watched Sarah Palin roll with every punch and rise up strong. In this highly moving keynote, one of the most influential women of our time speaks about what she considers her most important roles: mom, wife, citizen, Christian and fellow struggler. Believing that the key to finding real joy in life is to find strength in faith, put family first, and count on the ones you love most to keep you grounded, she shares powerful insights that touch hearts and inspire all of us to protect, like a “Mama Grizzly,” what genuinely matters.
Inspiring Lives: A Message of Resilience and Hope
Capturing the hearts and minds of millions as the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin continues to inspire and connect with people from all walks of life. Holding steadfast to her convictions even in the midst of personal and professional challenges, including her landmark political career, Palin lets her values be her compass as she navigates her role on the global stage with grace. The many roles she has embraced in her life—devoted wife, military mom, public servant and champion for children with special needs—have given her far-reaching perspective into the struggles we all face. Attracting record-breaking crowds, Palin's inspirational message of resilience and hope, combined with her warm personality, will touch the spirit of each audience member and remind them that the best possible life is never out of reach.
Today's Issues: Their Impact on Our Present and Our Children’s Future
In her audience-specific, standing-room-only presentations, Sarah Palin addresses the challenges facing our country and the world. No longer a professional politician or pundit, she offers independent, insightful observations about the issues impacting our lives and our kids’ futures.
As one of the first and most influential conservatives to endorse Donald Trump’s candidacy, Palin offers an insider’s perspective on the populist message that got him elected, as well as the pressing items that will cross his desk in the Oval Office. She can speak with passion and authority on a number of those items, including:
- Energy independence: the lessons that the federal government can learn from Alaska’s development of domestic oil and natural gas resources
- National security: how to keep Americans safe at home and abroad, and how to fulfill our sacred obligations to our active duty military and our veterans
- Fiscal responsibility: reducing wasteful spending, shrinking the size of government and creating an economic healthcare model that benefits all Americans
