She warned that new rules aiming to raise $13 billion by limiting contributions to flexible spending accounts amount to a "hefty tax hike" for families of special needs children struggling with health care costs. And she said families will wind up with fewer care options.

Thanks onyx. According to the local paper in Gwinett, Gov. Palin is donating her speaker's fee for this event back to Zachariah's Way. Doubt you'll see that reported in the MSM.

The Liberals talk about disadvantaged, the sick, etc

Sarah Palin both speaks for and does for those in need and special needs.

Sarah walks the walk
