CPAC Draws Candidates and Conservative Luminaries  ...18 of 18 >
Feb. 11, 2012--Former Gov. Sarah Palin brought the conference to an exciting conclusion.  She declared,

"Now today the conservative movement has never been stronger or brighter with people at the grassroots, and yet the federal government has never cast a bigger shadow.  So for the last three years we've been waving a bold banner that shouts 'don't tread on me.'  See the Tea Party rose up because Americans woke up.  And our movement, it is bigger than one person.  It is bigger than one candidate.  It is bigger than one party.  It's about one country united under God.  We aren't red Americans.  We are not blue Americans.  We're red, white and blue, and President Obama we are through with you." 

At one point a group of Occupy protesters attempted a "mic check" but they were quickly drowned out by chants of U.S.A.!  U.S.A.! and then were kicked out.
