RICHLAND, Wash. - Sarah Palin is taking a Thanksgiving break from her book tour to spend time with family in Washington and join a 5K run to benefit the Red Cross.

Palin detailed her plans Wednesday on Twitter.

"Much 2 b thankful 4 as Americans, most free people on earth! More opportunity 4 happiness/health/prosperity thx to our liberating Constitution," she wrote.

About 25 Palin relatives had registered for the annual Turkey Trot on Thursday at Kennewick's Columbia Park, said Heather Filbin of the Benton-Franklin Chapter of the American Red Cross.

About 2,300 people had pre-registered, with 3,000 runners expected to take part in the fundraiser.

Palin plans to have dinner at the Richland home of her aunt Katie Johnson, a sister of Palin's mother.

She intends to resume her book tour Sunday, signing copies of "Going Rogue" at a book store in Richland.

Palin's grandparents, Clem and Helen Sheeran, came to Richland in 1943 so he could work at the Hanford nuclear reservation.

Obama administration just said they're not going to sign the ban on land mines. People all over the world, many of them children, are killed every day from land mines left three or four decades ago.

Aaaaand yet another reason I'm glad I didn't vote for Obama.

I knew that when he gave up fighting Bush's weaselly domestic-spying program in the name of political expediency that he'd be willing to waffle on many other important issues.

I just wish that Republicans weren't such a pack of frightened little girls and that they had nipped Bush's domestic spying in the bud from the start...

Palin runs in Turkey Trot" "Palin eats chili at cook-off" "Palin goes potty in Ohio" "Palin farts in Georgia" She's our ex-governor. Most Alaskans don't care when she gets the runs, or trots, or any other non-news thing she does. There are other, more relevant stories out there! GI suicides are up. I care more about that than Sarah's trots. Obama is going to send more of our stressed-out troops to Afghanistan. The Obama administration just said they're not going to sign the ban on land mines. People all over the world, many of them children, are killed every day from land mines left three or four decades ago. Maybe some of the money the Red Cross raises in the Turkey Trot can go to some of the kids who lose limbs to our leftover land mines. Obama has proved he's a war president in the last few months, and the decision on the land mine treaty goes to show that he cares nothing about human rights. Can't disappoint those defense contractors, now can we? No public input, (including Congress) was taken into consideration. The land mine buck stops with Obushma.
