2012 Draft Sarah Committee

May 2009 Newsletter

Improved Website Improved Committee

We will have this Newsletter going out every three months or so just to keep you, our supporters and friends, informed of what we are doing to further our cause of encouraging Governor Sarah Palin to run for President in 2012 and building support for her.

As you probably know, the 2012 Draft Sarah Committee has formed a Board of
Directors to better work for this cause. The Board is finalizing a strong set of bylaws to keep the Committee functioning efficiently--efficient in determining what projects we undertake and efficient in being good stewards of the money donated to the Committee. You can learn more about the Board members by visiting the website and clicking the link that says Board of Directors.

ORGANIZER SPOT LIGHT

State of AK, Fairbanks Organizer

Our first Organizer we are spotlighting is from Governor Sarah Palin's state. Her name is Lynette Bergh. Lynette is our Fairbanks Organizer and one our newest Board of Director members. She also acts as our Parliamentarian. Lynette was born in Chicago , IL and attended Christian schools throughout high school. She learned to stand up for her conservative principles in the midst of the Daley machine. She attended Northeastern
Illinois University for a short time and then transferred to the University of California to continue her studies. There she earned two BAs, a Master's degree, and bilingual teaching certificates for grades K-12. She taught in public schools at several grade levels within 3 CA counties. Currently, she is teaching online graduate courses in education.

Several years ago, Lynette moved to Alaska with her husband, Tom. Although a strong conservative and active Republican supporter throughout her life, Lynette became re-energized in the Republican Party when Sarah Palin was chosen to be the Vice-Presidential candidate. She contacted the Chairman of the McCain/Palin Alaska Campaign and volunteered to serve as the area chair for the campaign in the Greater Fairbanks, AK area.

Lynette had the honor of meeting with Governor Sarah Palin privately in February '09 and then sat with her at the Head table at a Fairbanks Republican Women's event. She is a vocal and active supporter of Sarah and has been affectionately nicknamed a "Palinista" by the locals.

Lynette is passionate, active, and proactive about the cause of moving our country back to conservative values and principles. Drafting Sarah to run for office in 2012 is at the forefront of her goals.
