During highly publicized East Coast bus tour that traveled from Washington, D.C. to New England, Sarah Palin may have stumbled once again on some facts about Palin told a group of supporters in New England that Paul Revere's famous ride was intended to alert British soldiers as well as the American colonists of the pending attack of British forces. When questioned about it on Fox News Sunday, Palin gave the following reply:
"Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there. That, hey, you're not going to succeed. You're not going to take American arms. You are not going to beat our own well-armed persons, individual, private militia that we have," she said. "He did warn the British."
And despite the patriotic undertone of Palin's message, all available historical documentation, including Revere's own writings, seem to contradict Palin's position. Rather than having any intention to warn British soldiers or to somehow "frighten" them by suggesting that American militias were ready to engage, Revere's mission was highly secretive by necessity. He was riding to Lexington to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British forces would be coming to arrest them.
It should be noted, however, that Revere did reveal information to British soldiers about the purpose of his mission and he did try to intimidate them by suggesting that large numbers of armed colonists would be joining the fight against the British occupying forces. This happened under direct questioning from British soldiers after Revere was apprehended during his ride from Lexington to Concord.

Custom business card printing is the only way to go when you want to distinguish your brand while out on the road. Online print companies provide fast service and consistent quality at incredibly low rates every day, making it an ideal option for anybody who's in a hurry. Here's a quick guide to the hotspots you don't want to miss when distributing your credentials.
Restaurants
While you're out on the road, you're going to be visiting a hefty amount of restaurants. Whenever you hand in the bill, slip your business cards into the inside flap. It might help you establish leads with every meal you consume. Plus, it gives you ample opportunity to converse with an individual or two, possibly the servers but perhaps another patron. Let them know what kind of business you're in with the help of online business card printing that's sure to be a conversation-starter and ender.
Hotels
Where will you be staying at for the majority of your time while traveling? Answer: in a place that likely will see lots of traffic from other travelers. Put your calling card on end tables, at the front desk, breakfast lines and inside newspapers for the unsuspecting reader. While you're there, you're bound to run into lots of diverse people. Make sure they know that they can call you for anything they need.
Airports
The hub for flying out and arriving at your destination, an airport is loaded with people that have nothing to do but wait. Fortunately, you can be there at the ready with business card printing tactics that might warrant you some of the biggest leads of your professional career. Give them to the barista at the coffee counter, the TSA staff, the baggage handlers and the people that cart riders around on electric vehicles. Anybody who is willing to listen to your offers could use a nice card in their pocket for future reference.
Conferences
Perhaps the main point of your travels is to actually do business in a big gathering place, like a convention center. If it takes you to large conferences where other business-minded individuals congregate, it's a great breeding ground for building contacts. Plus, you don't have to worry about establishing your identity in a place that might seem a little less receptive to your presence.
