Wow. Just, wow.

Thank you very much for getting this information out so people can be informed and vote accordingly.

She just doesn't get it. As a proud Republican, I have no choice but to stay home this November.

Palin is full of contradictions. As a female this hurts me personally.

[Neil]

This is a good video that explains the issue. You might also write a brief narrative with a time line so that the work can stand as an authoritative source.

[Heidi Renee]

Thank you for bringing this issue into the light.

[Paul]

Really nicely produced video. As professional as they come. Congrats. Now, figure out how to get it seen by a couple hundred million more people.

Have you sent this video out to the media? To Obama's campaign? This does not get enough coverage in the MSM. They seem to have taken Palin at her word that she doesn't condone this and left it at that. No one asks the follow-up questions. Of course, the media doesn't get to ask her many questions at all . . . about anything.

[Renee]

Very well done. This should put the final stake into the heart of the myth that "she didn't know".

Thanks for putting this excellent, accurate documentary together. I've embedded it in my own blog, http://akvoter.blogspot.com/

Why is this not headline news?

[Priscilla]

Great job. This is a super video and I really appreciate what you've created, and the work you've put in on it. Thanks for making this video and I'll be sure to share it with as many people as I can.

[Lady Rose]

Thank you all so much helping to get out the truth, I have added your blog to my blogroll.

As opposed to and terrified of Palin as I am, I was really hoping this piece would clear up the controversy, not just repeat the same tired facts. There was no investigation here. And what's with referencing "rumors" about Palin's office redecorations without getting to the bottom of it? Since when is it journalism to convey suspicions without digging for their roots? Well-made video, lazy journalism.

The answer as to why Palin and her chief would do this lies in the fact that included in all rape kits is the "morning after" pill. Victims are routinely asked, would they like to take the pill just in case to ensure they will not come up pregnant if the attackers sperm has fertilized an egg.

Look carefully at her denials. She says clearly she does not condone paying for "evidence gathering."

It is her religious beliefs which have led her to believe she has the right to abuse her power as mayor and force all people to bend to her beliefs by withholding money for something she disagrees with.

Our country remains a democracy only as long as we keep church and state separate. Anything less is the type of theocracy you see over in Iran.

This is why all Americans should be concerned that their rights will be violated if religious conservatism turned fascism isn't stopped.

Please consider posing this question at the end of the video:

Did Palin and her chief refuse to pay in order to keep women from protecting themselves from becoming pregnant by their attacker?

You could follow up with asking some rape victms (face obscured) talk about what it would mean to them if they had to deal with being impregnated by their attacker.)

Well done. Get it out there! A lot of women don't know the facts about Palin, and if they did, they wouldn't find her quite so "refreshing."

[Ruby Martin]

I had never heard about this particular issue, but the 'lady' and I use that word loosely. turned me off completely, when she stood before the world and lied about her involvement with 'the Bridge to Nowhere'. This after she has made a to-do about her being a Christian.
In my Bible it does not make a distinction between a 'political' lie, and any other type of lie. The Word says THOU SHALT NOT LIE! Have you read that part, Sarah?

[Briana]

Thank you for making this and getting this information out there.

[Daphne]

Thanks for making this. I'm glad that this information is out there for the public.

Yo Brian Dominick : this is not lazy journalism. The $50,000 redecorating scandal was addressed in another wasilla project video. They can't include every scandal in every video. View Sarah Palin: Fiscal Conservative and this will be clear.

Has anyone followed up on Charlie Fannon's career after he was WPD Chief? It seems like Mayor Palin was involved in a dispatch center that Charlie was put in charge of. Looked like a pretty good deal for him.
