Supporters of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will announce Friday the creation of a legal-defense fund to help her pay old legal bills, respond to a rash of ethics complaints and perhaps give her a political boost.
The 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate -- and possible 2012 White House aspirant -- has about $500,000 of legal debts, stemming in part from investigations into efforts to fire an Alaska state trooper who was her former brother-in-law. A legislative investigation found that Gov. Palin abused her power in the matter, but a subsequent investigation by the state Personnel Board concluded she could not be held responsible. Additionally, supporters say, about a dozen new ethics complaints have been filed against Ms. Palin in the past four months, as the governor has come under increasing scrutiny from the national media, Democrats and liberal activists.

I will happily donate to the legal defense fund, as well as SarahPac.
The liberals’ smear attempts and lawsuits against Sarah are just plain bogus and get even more ludicrous every time.
Come on, everyone! Let’s support Sarah with everything we’ve got! Let’s get her in the White House in 2012!!!!!!
WE CAN DO IT, PEOPLE!!!!!! PRESIDENT SARAH PALIN!!!!!! Don’t ya like the sound of that????
Let’s flood SarahPac and the legal defense fund with donations! Come on, people, we can do it!!!!!
According to this article, donations are capped at $150. She’s counting on the ordinary folks.
Great news, this will cause the liberals’ head to explode. They were hoping to derail Palin with this crap, but again haven’t counted on the thousands of folks who support her. I predict she’ll have the money by June.
That's probably a mistake, but I understand why she wants it that way.
Im in
Hopefully BOR, Glenn Beck etc get this information out there.
Tomorrow’s the day we begin to strike back at the ankle biters...!
Thanks so much for the info. Kristen Cole is Sarah’s best friend since high school..she is a wonderful person and I look forward to contributing to Sarah’s legal fund. I got my credit card right here ready to go with my donation
(Al, you've been here awhile so I'll cut you some slack. /sarcasm)
Palin Thread rules require MANDATORY photo posting requirements...
So here's to maintaining FR posting ettiquette...
LOL...thx for the reminder.
From the WSJ article....
The latest legal challenge to Ms. Palin came Wednesday, when an Anchorage woman filed a complaint with the state attorney general’s office saying the governor violated state ethics rules by accepting outside employment through her political-action committee, and improperly benefited personally by speaking at a recent anti-abortion dinner in Indiana. Ms. Palin’s chief of staff termed the recent complaints “ridiculous.”
This is beyond petty, it’s amateur hour now. What next? She forgot to cover her mouth when she sneezed???? She wore red clogs at a formal function? Her pinkie finger wasn’t raised at tea time? Sheeesh.
Considering she spent at least 1/3 of her speech promoting her beloved Alaska, it’s beyond ridiculous.
Looks like the article has been pulled. WSJ may have jumped the gun. Tomorrow is likely the day, though.
Would appreciate it if you could delete this thread. The WSJ has pulled the article.
Why?
No doubt the announcement of this is imminent. It's been talked about for weeks.
If the mods want to leave it up, fine with me.
Moderator, can you please take this thread down. I’m a blogger with Conservatives4Palin.com. We’ve been asked not to report on this. The WSJ jumped the gun in posting this article. It was not supposed to be posted until 8:00 am ET tomorrow. Please remove this post. Thank you!
