Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was in Auburn New York to celebrate the anniversary of hometown son’s William Seward’s purchase of the state of Alaska in 1867. This was part of an inaugural Founder’s Day Celebration in this upstate New York community.

There were more than 20,000 people that turned out to see Sarah Palin lead the parade through downtown Auburn. Ms. Palin also signed a proclamation honoring William Seward.

Mr. Steward was a 19th Century Secretary of State who negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia. Alaska was purchased for 7.2 million dollars.  Alaska celebrates it’s 50th anniversary of statehood.

Governor Palin spoke later on at a fundraiser for the Seward House Museum. The Governor spoke out against the Obama Administrations handling of national security, the economic crisis and energy.

I am on Sarah Palins side about this. Obama has done an AWFUL job with energy of which Sarah Palin is an expert.

Yay!! Sarah Palin for President in 2012!
