A couple years back, Palin tried all year to lower fuel prices across the state. Here in Alaska, we pay $5-$8 per gal for same fuel shipped to lower 48 and sold for $2-$3 per gal. The Repubs fought her tooth and nail. When they stymied all of her efforts, she announced she would give every Alaskan 1200 bucks extra that fall to offset the high prices. Repubs went nuts as they wanted the money in their own pockets. Palin wouldn't let them go home at end of session until they voted on her bill to pass out the bucks. In the end, on last day, they all voted to pass her bill. Not one of the greedy Repubs or Dems voted in opposition (political suicide). That money helped every Alaskan to offset high fuel prices at minus 60 that winter and Palin showed the corrupt politicals who run the show.
Time after time, Palin does the right thing. That's what both partys are afraid of.
Thanks for your insightful comments. I am in strong support of Sarah Palin and I just read her book, GOING ROGUE. It was great and clearly shows the Republican “machine,” to be ruthless and conniving, too. She didn’t fit the corrupt mold..Government seems to have fallen in to pit of shakedowns and money, which, of course, is as good as stolen from the American people. I know people out here are praying and I believe God will act to right this attempted takeover of our nation. ...”Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
