Palin UNETHICAL and UNCONSTITUTIONAL - another lawsuit brewing?
Sarah Palin's behavior regarding church and state is not only unethical, it's unconstitutional as well.

Let's have a look at what has been uncovered so far:

$639.50 to address the "Master's Commission" at the Wasilla Assembly of God. This is just one instance of travel and per diem claimed from the state to attend a religious event.

$13,000 in taxpayer funds for the Governor and the First Family to attend at least 10 religious events and meetings with Christian pastors, including Franklin Graham, the son of evangelical preacher Billy Graham.

$25,000 in state money given to the Assemblies of God Juneau Christian Center.


How could addressing the Master's Commission of the Wasilla Assembly of God, which has the purpose of networking across the state to spread their own particular beliefs, be considered state business and expenses paid accordingly?

Sarah Palin has been known to worship at both these churches and if she wishes to promote their teachings she should do it with her own money, in her own time. Exactly the same principle should apply to other religious events attended by the Governor and the First Family. Why should the state foot the bill for events that under the Constitution are separate from the state?

The first amendment gives Sarah Palin the freedom to worship as she wishes. It also gives her the obligation to keep her religious preferences separate from the business of the state.

1. apathy?
Due to the number of OUTRAGEOUS, unethical, and illegal acts of this monster, it seems we are becomming de-sensitized to her actions. I don't think she will run for re-election as Governor, but I shudder to think of the damage she can inflict in the remainder of her term.
I cannot ignore her - she is trying to get near our White House! While that is HIGHLY unlikely, I trust nothing after witnessing a stolen Presidential election and living with 8 years of another dunce in office.
