Hundreds of Santa Clarita residents lined up outside Oak Tree Gun Club Saturday to have the chance to meet and get a picture with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Members of the crowd were brought in one at a time through a side room of the main building, where they could purchase a book if they did not own one, before meeting Palin.
Palin attempted to strike up a conversation with each person who passed through the desk, getting to know the people that approached her.
“She’s very personable,” said Richard Anderson, a Valencia resident who attended the event. “I always think of politicians as kind of stand offish, but she’s very friendly.”
Many of the attendees lined up early for the signing, such as Santa Clarita resident Suzanne Friedman.
“We’re here to support (Sarah Palin) with her new book she’s coming out with,” Friedman said, “because we support her and her stance with the Second Amendment Foundation. I’m a woman. I’m a lifetime member of the NRA.”
Palin’s new book, titled ‘Sweet Freedom: A Devotional,’ includes 260 meditations that use biblical verses to tackle current national topics such as economics, debt, social justice, marriage, parenting and human trafficking.
The book was officially released on Nov. 16 2015, and the former Governor is now touring the country to sign copies and meet with fans of her work.
“We would love to have her join in this presidential race as well,” Friedman said. “She is a biblical based, faith loving woman. She also has a very strong connection with her family and her community. She also advocates for children and families of children with special needs.”
Palin is best known through the country as the Vice Presidential candidate who ran with Senator John McCain back in the 2008 presidential election.
McCain and Palin lost the election to current President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden by seven points in total national votes.
Since her 2008 VP bid, Palin has written 5 books, starred in her own TV show and served as a political correspondent for Fox News.

Why is she relevant?
Why is she not relevant??
Why is she?
Because if someone is gonna buy her book and drive up to see her then i would have to say she is relevant..
I guess it’s a matter of opinion. I would walk across the street to look at her.
I WOULD walk across the street to see her as well…i guess what im trying to say is if you dont like the lady why say anything?? I cant stand Hillary Clinton but im not gonna trash someone for going to see her..
Well, cause I can. Once again, difference of opinions.
Well you got me there..you win!!
Yeah, I know! I usually do.?
Good luck winning in November.
It’ll be a breeze when Trump is put forth as the model for your party.
Ugh ?
Good grief.
That was awesome! What an amazing woman — to meet her in person and get her devotional was a huge blessing! So thankful for the opportunity! ?
100’s?! ?
She is amazingly dumb lol
Why is that??
Are you in love Mike?
Yes im in love Dobie!!
No surprise.
This isnt something SANTA CLARITA should be showing off lol palins dumb lady an hypocrite
Well, aren’t you the pot calling the kettle black ? At least she knows how to spell and construct a proper sentence.
Well good thing im not in english class huh? Yea i thought i was on facebook, did i offend u by insulting her? Oh im sorry wait actually im not sorry ??
That knowing how to construct a sentence properly will do her well since she is FORMER govenor and NOT ELECTED VICE PRESIDENT so you can go buy her books she will write about how she lost. ???
Idiots lined up. What great wisdom & insights on life can she offer humanity? She cost what’s his face the presidency.
Thank you Paquita Izabel Engle but hey Ingrid Windsor im sure her book is on sale for you to purchase it. And drool over an idiotic , hypocrite paquita she can offer humanity a well written book about loosing presidency and about her great daughter of hers. With properly written sentences right ingrid? Ahahaha ??
Sounds like “old school” mentality Robert Gonzalez. Now you’re showing your true colors. Palin’s a hypocrite? Look in the mirror, TROLL!! ?
How is that “old school” mentality? And Michelle Kinsfather-Choy i was expressing my true colors from. The begining so how am i just doing it now?theres reason why she wasnt elected majority doesnt like palin so sorry sweetheart, and i find it incredibly hilarious that you and Ingrid Windsor have to insult me by calling names like we are in first grade you guys are a peace of work. Ask ingrid where her books are on sale so you can read all them to and make palin rich off her book sales an not a real politician.????? have a blessed day ?✌
She was beautiful…. Only a fool. Would make a personal comments about someone who know nothing
She is a pretty lady i never said she was ugly but a good politician is a different story
What makes her an incredibly dumb person Robert?? Why dont you in lighten us with your vast knowledge??
She barely made through high school. Her daughter was a teen mom, and she’s been stuck in the tundra goofing around too long to go up against better educated, city folks. She’s not genius. She’s just a basic gun toting spewing foolish ideas. She’s not relevant. People like to hold on to dreams.
?Agree Mike…?
http://www.ifyouonlynews.com/politics/jon-stewart-dissects-sarah-palins-crazy-iowa-speech-video/
Thats it then if Joe Stewart it..must be true!!
Look at video Stewart didnt tell her what to say an how to act that was all palin
Mike Spurlin “Why dont you in lighten us with your vast knowledge??”
LOLOLOLOLOLZ!!!! “in lighten “
Dobie, oh you got me!! Guess im just not as smart as you!
Ahaha Dobie Gillis ???
I do have to give you props tho Mike Spurlin you actually wanted have adult conversation unlike Michelle Kinsfather-Choy an Ingrid Windsor that are childish an just name call. ??
Ingrid Windsor “Well, aren’t you the pot calling the kettle black”
*Forgets question mark*
I would have gone if i knew
Actually over 1,000 people. It was great
Was she able to see Russia from Santa Clarita?
Is that suppose to be funny???
He’s a little slow.
No Dobie, im just wondering why people like you and the others who write negative things about people who want to see someone like Sarah Palin??
It was AMAZING! She is the sweetest, nicest lady! I loved the time she took to face time with Coastie to Thank him. She loves our Military!!! Absolutely LOVE that about her! Thanks to @oaktree for bringing her to Santa Clarita!
It was a great event today. I could have stayed there until the end taking pictures and meeting such nice people. The Oak Tree Gun club did a great job putting this together. It was very well organized. Even with 1,000 people present, it all ran very smoothly. Sarah is such a sweet and genuine person. I cannot imagine sitting there meeting 1,000 people in one day, yet she was so kind to look each person in the eye and really listen to each one and give them each a special moment. She’s one special woman and I hope the Lord opens the door for her to run for office again soon!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaa omg
Whats so funny???
Damn near everything you wrote.
Pimping some dust collecting book. That’s every idiots dream, to write a book! Huh? What wisdom could she offer humanity?
Why is she an idiot?? Because you say so??
Nothing she’s done has proven genius or that’s she’ll change the world or that she’s anyone I can consider admiring. She’s part of reality tv. Hello.
So the fact that she was a regular lady, that wanted change so she ran for local government, then was elected Governor..doesn’t count for anything?? But i guess since you dont believe in her values that makes her an idiot? You are a Pathetic person!!
Calling people names is pathetic. Go ahead buy her book, shake her hand, and go away. She wasn’t trying to be a game changer. Regular lady doesn’t cut it to run a nation. Again, I’m not impressed. You can admire her if you want. Her daughter got knocked up as a teen FYI. Her values are meaningless to me. You go ahead and have instruct you on her values.
Names?? Are you or are you not the person who is writing negative thing about a person you know nothing about, regarding her daughter what does she have anything?? She is a good person that supports our military..that really all that matters to me!!
Teen pregnancy indicates parental neglect. Hello. She would have never won the White House. Never. Again, she’s basic & I support the military. I’m a hard working tax payers. She’s just not a “real” politician.
All of that doesn’t make her a bad person..sometimes we should look in the mirror before we cridisize other people…
Whatever. Again, you can have admiration for her. That’s your choice. Hopefully you bought her book & she can enlighten you! Read it all & Yelp it. Enjoy. Buy 10 books, support her back since she’s liking the revenues of fame. You’re her fan I’m not.
Mike Spurlin “before we cridisize”
You are a walking LOL!
“She is a good person that supports our military..that really all that matters to me!!”
So please ‘in list?’ LOLZ! I’m sure you’d sign your name wrong. Newhall is a mess if you are their speaker.
Again Dobie you got me!!
She knows how to parlay her five minutes of fame. But she is a manipulative uneducated woman who is willing to pimp her constantly pregnant out of wedlock daughter while pretending to be pious. When asked what she reads she said it was a gotcha question because she doesn’t read.
And you know for sure that Sarah is un educated?? So please tell us all how you came to this conclusion???
Because I’ve heard her speak.
So what qualifications do you have to make that judgement?? Or is just because Sarah Palin conservative and doesn’t believe in the socialist policys you believe in?? Therefore she must be stupid. Why is it that the people who preach tolerance are always the most intolerant people??
Wondering. Is English your second language?
And, I have little tolerance for the dumbing down of America. I’m not alone
Yes Doreen English is my second language..not everyone can be as smart as you!! Some off us stupid people went to serve our country in the military so the smart people..like you could go to school..sorry!!!
You got it! I am smart.
Mike Spurlin “un educated??” “policys”
“Some off us stupid people”
You should never speak a second one. Stick to whatever first one you suck at.
“Some off us stupid people went to serve our country in the military so the smart people..like you could go to school..sorry!!!”
No you went because you had no other options.
Your right Dobie, i had no other options!!
MIKE MUST HAVE THE LAST WORD!
From the article:
“McCain and Palin lost the election to current President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden by seven points in total national votes.”
This must have been included to make it seem close? Reality – Obama won by receiving the highest % of the popular vote by a Dem since Lyndon Johnson in 1964…… Over 10.5 million more votes and 365 electoral votes.
What is it your trying to say by writing this?? If you dont like the lady just dont write anything..
I’m saying it’s completely misleading….. And yes the woman is a joke.
And yes, thanks to her the dems won in a landslide….
When they announced her as McCains pick. I called my husband at work & said Obama just won the presidency. They picked an unknown women…. Moment she opened her mouth … I knew with 100% certainty The dems had won!! Thank you.
And again why is that her falt?? That they picked her to run?? As for being a joke…Why is she a joke??
She’s a joke much like a kardashian is famous for being famous. Zero accomplishments, dumb as a rock, “writing books” by copying scripture ?
If you took time to go see this lady….you have my sympathy. And if your even still glad you got to meet her i know a name of a good shrink.
What would make you say things about someone you nothing about, but what you here on TV??
I have seen her interviews…..why do u assume i dont know her …..because u like her and i disagree…..so u are right….i am wrong she is wonderful i know nothing about her for if i did i would like her. Sorry.
And i read her previous book i forget name…..lol. i read it for work…..so goodluck with your thinking sir.
Sounds to me like you are a jelous person with nothing to do in life but criticize people for things you wish you could do?? Maybe you should try making your life better and not worry about what other people are doing.
Internet troll much⬆️
Oh yes im a internet troll…you guessed it..im sitting in my mothers basement right now trolling sites..im caught!!
God bless u guys
Mike Spurlin Can you spell anything? WTF man? I mean I know you are a Palin fan but don’t be LIKE Palin.
No i cant!
Yep, McCain & Palin lost to Obama & Biden; now look at the huge mess we have. I really wish that I could have met Sarah and had her sign my book, but duty elsewhere called.
Red neck ally!!!
Such ignorance and hatred from low-information voters here, stinking up the joint. Those on the left seem to revel in attacks. I fear for their children.
Were all the pages blank?
Why would all the pages be white??? Oh i get it that was a joke…
Sarah was genuinely friendly, it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to say hello and shake hands. Sarah is an American who appreciates our values and freedoms. We need to support those who promote America and our history.
Why was this not publiced? Thanks alot scvtv and The Signal. I would have liked gone
Did the book come with a box of crayons?
Why
Because!
It would’ve been more productive if Palin was strapped to a target.
Mark Austin we missed it!!!
Having Palin sign a book she wrote is like having Stevie Wonder draw a coloring book.
I lived in Alaska during Palin’s term as Mayor of Wasilla and her December-July term as Governor of the state. A story published at the time (if I remember correctly in the Anchorage Times) of her run for Governor reported that one of the first things the newly elected Mayor did was to contact the city’s librarian and inquire as to how to remove certain books from the shelves. The librarian then, according to the article, informed Mayor Palin that elected officials could not determine what books the public could or could not read nor could they determine which books could or could not be on public library shelves. Nothing more was heard about the incident after publication of the story and it is assumed that Ms. Palin dropped the subject and I would personally guess, had very little further contact with the librarian.
Kinda gives you a clue about Ms. Palin’s definitions of ‘freedom’, ‘democracy’ and ‘public service’. Why is anyone interested in buying one of her books?
