Sarah Palin coming to Omaha area for Mom's March, a response to Women's Marches

Source: Omaha World Herald

By Roseann Moring

Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be in the Omaha area to headline a Sept. 23 event aimed at helping women and mothers realize how much cultural power they have.

Other speakers scheduled for the Mom’s March for America at the Ralston Arena include Candy Carson, the wife of Ben Carson, secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and a 2016 presidential candidate; “Duck Dynasty” star Missy Robertson; actress and radio talk show host Sam Sorbo; and country band Redhead Express.

Organizer Kimberly Fletcher, the president and founder of Homemakers for America, said she wants the cultural march to counteract what she says is “radical feminist” messaging.

Fletcher’s group is partnering with conservative, faith-based and constitutional advocacy groups for the event. Organizers have cast it as opposite in many ways from the January Women’s Marches around the country.

Bringing the Heart of America together in the Heartland of America & Uniting Across the Nation!

On September 23, 2017, HomeMakers for America, in partnership with conservative, faith-based and constitutional advocacy groups across the nation, will hold a Moms March for America!

Moms, daughters, and grandmas will unite across the nation to promote a message of hope and decency as we stand for truth, family, freedom and the Constitution. The center of the march is Omaha, Nebraska, but you don’t have to come to Omaha to join the march. The event will be broadcast live so you can join the march wherever you are! See “Why Nebraska” Video The Mom’s March is not a physical march walking down the street carry signs, it is a cultural march symbolizing the march that mothers make every day across their homes, schoolyards, and businesses as they strengthen their homes, influence their communities and shape our nation. What is a cultural march? Click Here to learn more.

- - - The Constitution, y'all!!

After all, they wouldn't want to appear as progressive women.

aunts, straight, lesbian/etc, girls, baby girls. We also had the husbands, boyfriends, partners, sons, grandsons, etc of these women. I know cuz I'm a mom and I attended the march with several of my mommy friends, husbands, sons, brothers, etc.

Palin - enough of your nonsense.

The best were toddlers chanting 'This is what democracy looks like' (I think that was the tax march)

I want another women's march (hopefully 1 year anniversary). I have more pussyhats to sell.

Is that when a bunch of them there uppity females want equal pay or rights?? Yes,something DOES need to be done to tamp down those feelings and Palin is just that person to do it.

Guessing hubby will have to look this whole "marching" thing over and approve before his Stepford wife is allowed out of the house on that date.

if they're actually "marching", instead of attending a closed rally, then this is an opportunity for woman to woman outreach by Dems. there won't be many Conservative men there to interfere. in theory.

indeed for mothers in general. Cultural power? I wish. I chose to stay at home and raise my kids and never regretted it but there were more times than I can possibly tell you that I wanted to smack people who implied I was at home because I was unable to do anything else, or that my children suffered because of my example. Bullcrap. Two with engineering degrees making six figures and writing poetry and painting, and one heading to college next year and yeah, I take some credit for that. But the idea of being represented by Palin is repugnant to me; no, it's an insult. I want nothing to do with her version of "culture" as it pertains to mothers or anything else.

I was in La Leche League.

I worked in Newborn Nursey about 1 day a week.


No regrets. I didn't catch much flack for my decision. Co-workers were very supportive.
