But the latest Federal Election Commission filing indicates that money raised in small contributions by Sarah PAC is going to consultants, speech-writing services, direct-mail appeals, as well as stays by Palin in fancy hotels.

Usually that is a sign of a severe character deficit, or long term substance abuse.

That is pretty pathetic. I never would have expected this from Governor Palin.

This is illegal. I demand an investigation. That is tax fraud.

The stated purpose is to get conservatives elected. C’mon, just 23 grand to candidates, really?

Big slush fund to pay for travel and hotels.

The Clinton Initiative gives more to their cause than old slippery Sarah.

PT Barnum was right.......

to cover a lot of activities using donated money.

I care. The article says she did the same thing in 2014 and I have donated to this PAC a few times.
