What this report tells us is that Gov Palin is beholden to no one. she owns no one political favors. She is not bought and paid for by political special interests. Her PAC is fully funded by WE the People.

True grassroots politics. $50. donations from tens of thousands of ordinary Americans, just as it should be.
The left recognizes Palin's power and that it comes, not simply from her rhetoric or good looks but from Palin's connection with the people. What they don't know how to deal with is her honesty and integrity, two attributes foreign to just about all Democrat politicians, from Obama on down. The left assumed that the Alaska governors office e-mails would be a treasure trove of embarrassing revelations that would finally sink Sarah Palin, once and for all. Instead, they served to demonstrate a hard-working governor that was not involved in shady deals or fits of egomania, as the leftmedia so hoped. This is the kind of thing that confounds the left when it comes to Sarah Palin. She is authentic and all the bitter diatribes and nasty ridicule aimed at Palin has basically come to nothing. As a Palin supporter, it's good to know that her campaign chest is nice and full with lots more waiting if and when she announces her candidacy. I can hardly wait!

We the People are speaking. that is some serious grassroots. 24,000 ordinary people giving and avg of $50.00 As enabled Gov Palin to stay away from the special interests. This is how we get our government back.

Let me ask a question — if I understand how PACs work, the donations to the PAC can’t be used for the person’s election costs, but rather the PAC’s stated intent.
Won’t the PAC pull from Gov. Palin’s election (assuming she runs) funds?
I don’t think she gets the prefunded presidential money until she is a confirmed candidate...

national bus tour sponsored by the PACA family excursion, to be accurate. She had no (ethical) business siphoning dollars from the Politcal Action Comm. to pay for what she described as a non-political, non-campaign trip.
Note to Drones: I've donated 10X the avg to the PAC so spare me from your imbecilic comments.
$18,700 donation to the Young America's Foundation
Now this is wlecome news. No better org than YAF.

Her Pac can't be used for her POTUS run. It can be used to fund other candidates races, travel, staff and things like a bus tour that isn't a campaign bus...

I have $1000 with her name on it!last year, I set aside $5600 with the idea of donating to a Palin presidential campaign. All she has to do is announce or endorse and the first $2300 will be on the way.

The bus tour was related to what the PAc is about.... About SarahPAC Formed in January 2009, SarahPAC is a federally registered political action committee (PAC) dedicated to building America's future by supporting fresh ideas and candidates who share our vision for reform and innovation. SarahPAC believes America's best days are ahead. Our country, founded on conservative principles and the fight for freedom,/b>, must confront the challenges of the 21st century with integrity, innovation, and determination. SarahPAC believes energy independence is a cornerstone of the economic security and progress that every American family wants and deserves. We believe in American Exceptionalism, and that US foreign policy should, first and foremost, be based on the pursuit of our national interest, not the interests of others. SarahPAC believes the Republican Party is at the threshold of an historic renaissance that will build a better future for all. Health care, education, and reform of government are among our key goals. the Bus tour highlighted many bedrock principles that sarahpac was founded on. continue on with your rant...

I don’t have the code in front of me, but I’ve set up pac-like groups for others and I seem to remember something in there that allows educational purposes as well. Since that is how she framed her tour, and because everyone got quite an education from it, I’d say its well within both the letter and the spirit of the law.

SarahPAC has given to many candidates and offices holders. Many of which are in key states. Sarah came to Perry's side, Haley's side and Ayotte side when all else sat by.

This is actually pretty sad.
Most congressional candidates raise far more than this.
This should be the end to any talk of running for President.
To: Minus_The_Bear
Sarah is not a presidential candidate so why compare her fund raising to candidates?
