Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin urged a crowd of about 1,100 here Friday to stand up for family, faith and country, telling them, “You don’t need an office. You don’t need a title to fight for what is right.

“You can do this. You just have to stand up and speak up for what you believe in,” said the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, who is slated to appear in Washington today for TV host Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally on the National Mall.

Palin made her remarks at the annual banquet of the right-leaning Pennsylvania Family Institute, a Harrisburg group that opposes abortion and same-sex marriage.
