Outgoing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated state ethics laws by letting supporters set up a legal defense fund to help her battle ethics complaints, a preliminary report on the issue has found. Sarah Palin's attorney says the report is not final, and he is preparing more information for the investigator. An investigator hired by the state personnel board recommended Palin -- who gives up her office on Sunday -- refuse money from the defense fund and ask the state to pay legal fees for ethics complaints that have been dismissed. Palin attorney Thomas Van Flein said the report is not final, however, and he is preparing "supplemental information" for the investigator. Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008, cited the cost of battling ethics complaints from her critics as one of the reasons she is giving up her office about two-thirds of the way through her term. Most complaints have been dismissed, though one led to her paying back taxes on state per diem funds, and she agreed to repay about $8,100 in travel expenses for her children in another case.

Palin PING!
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
Some interesting info posted on C4P..
If you google Perkins Coie Obama, you will find some intriguing articles. The law firm, with major offices in Chicago, Washington and other locations (including China), was the general counsel for Obama’s Presidential campaign and the legal counsel for Obama for America, the not-for-profit Political Action Committee.
According to the Federal Election Commission, Obama paid Perkins Coie $668,000 between January and March 2009, and $378,000 between October 16 and December 31, 2008.
The firm has been heavily involved in Obama’s citizenship eligibility issues (including the Philip Berg case), even threatening plaintiffs not to take further action or they would come after them.
Perkins Coie also represented the Guantanamo Bay prisoner alleged to be Osama Bin Laden’s personal driver, in which the court recently ruled that the military tribunals established at Guantanamo Bay under Bush/Cheney were illegal.
On the Democratic political front, the law firm was the main counsel for Sen. John Kerry’s campaign for President in 2004 and for Sen. Christopher Dodd’s ill-fated primary campaign in 2008.
With the faulty logic and questionable recommendations applied by attorney Thomas Daniel to this opinion for the Alaska Personnel Board, it really makes one wonder if this is actually the “smoking gun” connecting the Obama/Emanuel/Axelrod machine in Chicago and Washington to faraway Anchorage, Alaska.
In addition to a lack of common sense in his opinion, Daniel’s possible actions of releasing the “confidential” document to Kim Chatman is a violation of the law.
I hope Governor Palin and her attorney take this as far as they can because the thread may unravel to reveal some very interesting, influential connections!
Basically what they wanted was to take away all of the money the defense fund made, so that Sarah can’t accept it. That way she has to spend the money out of pocket in order to defend herself against this BS. They will continue filing bogus ethics complaints against her. But as a private citizen, she CAN collect money. We will make a defend fund for her and raise double of what she made(speculation is that she already raised more then 500,000 which must have ticked off the loons on the left) and she can collect the money. It is totally legal. At the end, Sarah will have the last laugh, we will fix the Republican party, and we will take back the House and Senate in 2010, then in 2012, we take back the White House!

Royal first appeared in the public eye in relation to Palin through the graces of Toronto-based blogger Charley James. You may remember James - a week after Palin's selection as the GOP VP candidate, James published an anonymously-sourced hit piece making the explicit claim that Governor Palin was a racist -- most memorable for a ridiculous claim, "sourced" to an anonymous waitress named "Lucille", that Palin had said "So Sambo beat the bitch!" when finding out that Barack Obama had prevailed over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.
This is the part that is fascinating me about this latest complaint and could be both the smoking gun and Obama or his minions got too cocky and maybe, just maybe got caught orchestrating all these complaints... isn’t Coale Greta’s husband? He issued a statement today and isn’t happy about this particular complaint, this could make a quick transition to Fox news...or am I wishfully thinking.
....Don't be surprised if there are some Republicans behind this also.
...What a woman...
I asked myself “would Obama be so stupid as to go after her in a traceable manner?” then I remembered how he became senator in first place — remember what he did to Ryan? and I said “silly me, OF COURSE he would, he has always gotten away with doing things the Chicago way, a tiger doesn’t change his stripes. Problem is the rest of the country isn’t Illinois and Sarah isn’t Jack Ryan.
I sign HJR28 Oppose Restricting Oil/Gas Devlp;we urge President to promote US resource devlp.Pretty simple, Mr.President & Congress:choose safe clean American energy&jobs or force our reliance on foreign countries;what more to ponder,oh wise Washington? Where's DC's common sense?
My take:
Kim Chatman
Had an abortion. Knows it was the murder of an unborn child. HATES Palin for NOT aborting her “defective” child. Will do ANYTHING necessary to punish Palin.
Guilt over "choices". Choices that feminists told them were "good", but went against natural law and the law of good and evil, right and wrong, that every human has written on their soul.
