First Donation of the Year…

And the winner/recipient will be Sarah Palin. Though some of you may read this with complete distain for the woman that’s fine; but know that she is also a fellow American that extremist groups are taking advantage of financially and judicially tying up our courts and an acting governor.

Because people didn’t like her as a candidate she has a slew of lawsuits being thrown at her over the most erroneous of things and it’s despicable. There is a lawsuit seeking punitive damages for her not declaring a holiday quick enough to appease its supporters. Another seeks retribution for one of her aids using a state computer to reply on someone’s blog during the election season? How about a lawsuit alleging that she has pandered to a business for wearing her husband’s snow gear at a race he participates in because the sponsor “Arctic Cat” is visible?

Here is a woman that did nothing but to have an opinion and run for an office in government. Many have picked her to death and she’s gone back to Alaska keeping to her states needs and probably trying to forget the half of a welcoming she received when she was introduced to us.

With all of these frivolous lawsuits going thru the system and wasting tax payer’s money she’s left with a debt forecasted to be at least 600k dollars. That’s a lot of money for 6 cases already thrown out, 3 more pending and countless others just lining up. From all accounts I can’t see one instance where she’s asked for the State’s aid or dipped from any taxpayer pool of money to cover any of her legal defense fees.

There is talk that she’ll start up a fund to pay for this and I for one will be donating what I can. It doesn’t take her policies or whether I agree with them or not, it takes the fact that she’s obviously a good person just trying to live the dream like the rest of us. She endured an onslaught never seen before led by the Press and IMHO she’s taken enough for me to not even try to help.
