Another ethics complaint is to be filed today against Alaska Governor Sarah Palin alleging wrongdoing.
Press release:
An ethics complaint against Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will be filed this afternoon asserting that Palins involvement with SarahPAC constitutes "outside employment" and "misuse of official position."
Anchorage resident Sondra Tompkins, child disability advocate and mother of a special needs child, is filing the complaint after observing Governor Palin repeatedly display "a pattern of unethical behavior." Sondra believes that the tipping point for her was Sarah Palin's most recent abdication of her role as Governor and apparent conflict-of-interest when she spoke at two outside events in Indiana rather than work with the Alaska Legislature during the most critical time, the end of the session.
The complaint alleges:
a) Governor Palin has entered into a contract outside of her official duties with the donors, employees, partners and any or all other participants involved in Sarah PAC.
b) The recent partisan trip to Indiana by the Governor was purely to benefit personal interests, had no benefit for the State of Alaska and was in direct conflict with her official duties.
c) The Governor left the State to participate in these events during the most critical end-of-session Legislative activities, at a time where the legislators themselves are not permitted to leave.
HUH?
Are the dems THAT afraid of the GOvernor? If so why?
Her popularity scares the hell out of them!
No good deeds ever go unpunished. I hope she keeps up the good work.
Exactly.
Usually the state or national party would get involved with crap like this, as the LA GOP did today with Jindal.
Sarah will not get that help. The national party wants her to go away and the Alaska GOP is still headed by the guy that Sarah rang up on ethics charges on her way to the governorship. They will do nothing.
That would be fraud then. Sondra has some es’plainin’ to do...
Yes, that was a suave bit of MittBot orchestration back then. Shameful.
What part did you not understand?
She claims to be a republican voter, but organized an anti-Palin rally with the Alaska Democrat party.
“Yes, that was a suave bit of MittBot orchestration back then. Shameful.”
IIRC, it was coming from the Rudy and McCain camps.
And it’s not necessarily Sarah that they hate, it’s Christ.
BTT
Tompkins just sounds jealous. From another website, earlier in 2008:
“Sondra Tompkins is staying at home with two little boys, one of whom has special needs. She doesn’t like what she sees as a subtext in all the Palin talk this week — that somehow a woman with a job works harder.
“I think there needs to be some way to quantify what is hard,” she said.
She’d love to go back to work, but there’d be a heavy cost. Her husband is a physician, and her children would never see a parent, she said.
“Sometimes the choices aren’t really yours.”
Often, it’s a matter of support, she said.
“Sarah Palin snaps her fingers and she’ll get what she wants,” she said. “You go to Elmendorf, and you see a woman with children that’s about to deploy, she doesn’t get to do that.”
When the flak starts getting really heavy it means that you are very close to your target.
This is just silly.
Palin ping.
Here we go again.

Sondra Tompkins, a reliably Republican voter, found herself speaking out at the rally upset, she said, because of Palin’s handling of the trooper issue and the example it sets for children in the state.
“They’re listening, they’re watching, and they’re asking questions,” Tompkins called out to the crowd. “Do we tell them it’s OK not to tell the truth? Do we tell them it’s OK to bend the truth? Do we tell them it’s OK to distort the truth if you have a gaggle of lawyers to defend you?
“It’s not OK, and I think Alaskans have had enough.”
How about we file complaints against the ass clowns who file complaints against Sarah..that outta show them...this is beyond ridiculous..actually funny if it weren’t costing Sarah money(Which is horrible) what douche bags, who obviously have nothing better to do in their miserable lives, and they are jealous of Sarah’s popularity and success
Palin PING!
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
...
In a few days Palin's legal fund will be launched and we'll drive a stake through the lawsuit terrorists.

Tompkins has been a nurse, a soldier, and a pharmaceutical sales representative. She’d love to go back to work, but there’d be a heavy cost. Her husband is a physician, and her children would never see a parent, she said.
