-once at Sarah's fb page scroll down to the Wausau bit she wrote. So, I say thank you to the progressive liberal socialists once again trying to take God out of our culture, who were shown by over 1000 #Wisconsin friends of @SarahPalinUSA that we say #MerryChristmas ! And we stand with the Baby Jesus born that day to Mary.
If I'm for Christmas, it's only because I'm for Christ.... Sarah Palin

So on to the actual adventure...
I got up at 2 AM, umm not to worry all good adventures start off early in the morning...
By 5:30 I'm picking up @VickiMcKenna in Madison to go rogue with me on my adventure...

@VickiMcKenna is a powerful conservative talk radio show host in #WI she is on
WISN 1130AM Milwaukee in the morning from 10am -Noon ...
then from 3pm -6pm on WIBA 1310 Madison.
So imagine being the fly on the wall in the truck on the way up there and back ! What happens
in the truck stays in the truck.
...fast forward
We arrived in Wausau around 7:30am at the Wal Mart store
where the book signing was being held. While walking in I noticed an announcement taped up to the center window between the front doors, since I had called ahead and knew we needed to head to the back left of the store and look for the layaway section. As we headed in we observed wal mart employees directing people, the Mgr looking lady mid store looked important and had a clip board so we stopped quick and introduced myself, when she heard #Organize4PalinWI she said oh we are expecting you, Vicki says I'm Media, the lady says oh well then we have a media room also, I'm like.. I'm media too, Vicki says "He's my producer." Boom we are escorted
to the media room. Coffee, cookies, donuts, veggies, fruit, and more!
Geez the media is treated like divas! #LOL ...you will know in a bit why the diva thing is funny!
So the media room- aka quarantine room...after being escorted to the media room,
the mgr advised if we wish to use the washroom it's down the hall and someone will escort us down there as needed, super tight security...
there were two camera men and a young female reporter, we all introduced ourselves then @VickiMcKenna and myself had some coffee and cookies, thanks Wal Mart!
About half an hour went by and the next media person joining us was a real sharp young gal dressed in a black suit, mid height heels that were kind of chunky, cute blond pixie cut freckled rosy cheeked TV Anchor type. Well she was instantly talking to the other medias , they all seem to know each other, small town media... boy oh boy she was not happy with the rules set out for the media, when @SarahPalinUSA has an event her team absolutely controls access to her for many reasons, think them up your self if you don't get it. But this young lady was beside herself with angst about the access she was given, she was calling her boss telling him. "they are only giving us ten minutes to shoot, no questions, no interviews..then when our access is over they are escorting us off the property!!
LOL ...it wasn't to much longer when she called @SarahPalinUSA a diva for having the power
to set out all the rules ! She said "The security wasn't even this tight for Michelle Obama."
shorty after that she went into her moking @SarahPalinUSA voice "Don't cha know!"
Makes sense that the media access is limited #LSM #biased
#WhenYouComeIntoMyHouseYouGoByMyRules
Next thing you know and it's 10am #GameOn !
The doors opens and the mgr says "Ladies and Gentlemen, follow me." he led us down the hall to a door that led to the room where @SarahPalinUSA and her daughter Willow were seated behind
an 8' pop up table.
Because of our media access we now had 10 minutes to take video and stills. Go..
Vicki shot stills and I took some video.
Vid to come, we are having issues uploading it.
After our time was up to take pictures and video, we headed out to join the end of the line.
Vicki and I waited in line about 2 hrs and 45 min before getting up to see @SarahPalinUSA.
Once we did I introduced myself with the extension O4P WI, she said "Thank You for doing that."
