    Adrienne Ross
    Media@2012draftsarahcommittee.com

    NY-Organizer@2012draftsarahcommittee.com

    Media Director
    State of New York Organizer

    Adrienne Ross is a middle school English Language Arts teacher in NY, where she has served for the past fourteen years. Her love for young people and commitment to engaging them in the educational process have been her focus all these years. She is also very much involved in her church where she has committed herself locally and abroad, most notably serving in a missionary capacity in both Guatemala and Africa . These experiences planted a seed within her of the uniqueness that is America , and gave her a more intense love for people in general. Deeply impassioned by the 2008 presidential campaign, Adrienne threw her support behind the McCain-Palin ticket and has remained an outspoken voice for the values that are still sorely needed in America . Being new to political activism, Adrienne brings a fresh fervor to the political arena. Most recently she was a volunteer for the Jim Tedisco for Congress campaign for the special election in New York 's 20th congressional district, going door to door to talk to voters. Adrienne is also a member of the National Black Republican Association. Being an African-American conservative affords her a unique perspective, which is often seen in the writing found on her conservative blog at www.motivationtruth.com and at www.SarahNET.net, for which she is a "Soul Food" column contributor. Her writing has come to be deemed as both an inspiration to those who embrace truth and a thorn in the side of those who reject it. She is most proud to serve as an Executive Board member, the New York State Organizer, and the Media Director of the 2012 Draft Sarah Committee and is committed to the unwavering goal of encouraging Governor Sarah Palin to run for U.S. President in 2012. After meeting Governor Palin recently, Adrienne is even more determined to help make this a reality. Adrienne is on Facebook,Team Sarah, and Twitter.

    Kristina Lazzaro
    NY-Buf@2012draftsarahcommittee.com
    SUNY-Cortland@2012draftsarahcommittee.com
    Buffalo, NY and SUNY-Cortland (University) Organizer

    Kristina Lazzaro is from Buffalo, NY and is currently a college student at Cortland State University where she is studying to be a physical therapist. Aside from studying to pursue her career, Kristina also plays Cortland tennis and is involved in other groups on campus. She is the VP of Cortland College Republicans, and is also a member of the Political Science Association-- a group that interacts with the campus community by hosting debates, and having speakers, such as professors and others from off campus. We also take trips to places with political influence or background. We have traveled to Albany and Washington, DC.

    Kristina became very interested in the 2008 presidential election since this was the first election she could vote in. Learning and keeping up with everything dealing with the election, Kristina decided to put all of her support behind John McCain and Sarah Palin because of the goals and values they held for America.

    As a young conservative voice, Kristina provides people with a different perspective of the political world. She does so by speaking her mind clearly; not caring what others will think, educating others and getting involved. Kristina registered to vote the day she turned 18 and immediately became involved with the Erie County Republicans during the 2008 election. Since the election, Kristina has been inspired by Sarah Palin and decided to create her own blog called Inspiration Sarah (inspirationsarah.blogspot.com). She also writes for SarahNET.net, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's Accomplishments, and Team Sarah. Her goal when writing is to inspire and educate others about Sarah Palin--a person who she has become inspired by and molds her life after.

    Kristina feels honored to serve as an Executive Board Member, the Buffalo, New York Organizer, and a College Organizer for the 2012 Draft Sarah Committee. Kristina is committed and determined to everything possible to encourage Sarah Palin to run for President of the United States in 2012!

    Kristina is also on Facebook, Twitter and Team Sarah.

    Lynette Bergh
    AK-FBKS@2012draftsarahcommittee.com
    Parliamentarian
    State of AK, Fairbanks Organizer


    Lynette was born in Chicago, IL- and attended Christian schools throughout high school. She learned to stand up for her conservative principles in the midst of the Daley machine. She attended Northeastern Illinois University for a short time and then transferred to the University of California to continue her studies. There she earned two BAs, a Master’s degree, and bilingual teaching certificates for grades K-12. She taught in public schools at several grade levels within 3 CA counties. Currently, she is teaching online graduate courses in education.

    Several years ago, Lynette moved to Alaska with her husband, Tom. Although a strong conservative and active Republican supporter throughout her life, Lynette became re-energized in the Republican Party when Sarah Palin was chosen to be the Vice-Presidential candidate. She contacted the Chairman of the McCain/Palin Alaska Campaign and volunteered to serve as the area chair for the campaign in the Greater Fairbanks, AK area.

    Lynette had the honor of meeting with Governor Sarah Palin privately in February ’09 and then sat with her at the Head table at a Fairbanks Republican Women’s event. She is a vocal and active supporter of Sarah and has been affectionately nicknamed a “Palinista” by the locals.

    Lynette is passionate, active, and proactive about the cause of moving our country back to conservative values and principles. Drafting Sarah to run for office in 2012 is at the forefront of her goals.
