Palin becomes MoveOn target as SarahPAC cash haul surges
CNN ^ | July 14, 2009 | Rebecca Sinderbrand and Tracy Sabo

(CNN) – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political action committee is confirming a flood of new donations that push her cash haul close to the million-dollar mark, as one of the nation's largest liberal PACs announced an ad targeting the former GOP vice presidential candidate.

Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton confirmed a report in the Anchorage Daily News that more than $200,000 had poured into SarahPAC since Palin's announcement a week and a half ago that she would be leaving office by the end of the month.

Those funds, along with $732,867 received through June 30 according to federal campaign finance filings, leave the governor just shy of a million dollars in donations to date since SarahPAC's January launch.

[...]

The news came as MoveOn.org began e-mailing members Tuesday, asking them to fund a rapid response ad blasting Palin's new Washington Post op-ed that criticized President Obama's position on "cap and trade" legislation — a major part of the administration's effort to overhaul the nation's energy policy.

The group said Palin was positioning herself as the face of conservative opposition to Obama's energy policy, telling supporters her op-ed was "a marvel of misinformation and outright lies."

The group has not yet said where the spot would air, or revealed the scope of any potential ad buy.

I have an Alinsky idea. Why not use their rules against them. What are the reporting laws governing donations to moveon.org? For instance if everyone uses a credit card to donate 1 penny to moveon.org, the administrative costs would be astronomical. Not only are the costs prohibitive, but an electronic record of donations is established for audit purposes.

SarahPac on the other hand is allowed up to $200 USD for unreported donations.

Can we kill them with their own rules?

"No other republican politician carries that kind of authority."

And no one with national status besides Sarah seems to have any desire to do so.

I have read Sarah's article, and as an ex Oil and Gas employee, I can state that what Sarah said in the article is totally TRUE.

'Cap and Tax' is a disaster for the American economy, and for the American worker. As Obama said, "The coal industry will be put out of business." He also said, "home energy costs will skyrocket." I have never caught Sarah in a lie. I have read almost everything she has ever written, and seen at least 25 of her speeches.
(over the web)

If she is so irrelevant, how come MoveON.Soros is after her?

Go Sarah! Let 'em have it with both barrels!

Kizmet.

I right out of college, I went to the oil patch in Wyo (reervoir services), taught petroleum tech classes in NoDak, worked for a NatGas utility in MI and then for an interstate NatGas pipeline co.

C&T will destroy the US economy forcing us to become socialist/communist. And, it will happen precipitously.
