On December 26, 2007, a statement from the office of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin announced the appointment of Rev. Patrick Donelson to the Alaska State Suicide-Prevention Council. At the time, Donelson was president of Carry the Cure, Inc., a suicide prevention nonprofit: Sarah Palin was then listed as actively serving on the advisory board of Carry the Cure.
Carry the Cure's IRS 990EZ tax returns from 2000 through 2006 state that Carry the Cure's organizational mission was "Religious - Evangelism" and not suicide prevention, and from 2003 onward those tax returns suggest that the Alaska state suicide prevention grant money which Carry the Carry received was being used primarily for evangelizing, with suicide prevention as a secondary priority.
Sarah Palin's Governor's statement, on her appointment of Donelson to the State Suicide Prevention Council, indicated that Donelson was qualified for the post based on his suicide prevention work with Carry the Cure, Inc.
As indicated in multiple places on his ministry web site, the religious tendency Pat Donelson promotes includes claims that Christians can learn to raise the dead, and effect miraculous healing, as well as the belief that a Christian end-time army will cleanse the earth of evil.
