Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is at it again! She's the only governor in America to reject almost $29 million in federal stimulus money slated for energy efficiency programs in her state. Tell Palin our planet should not be a pawn in her political game!

What is wrong with this woman????
Everybody should take their responsibilities for a healthy earth.
All life, even human life, is connected with our environment...refusing is the same as signing our death sentence...even the wolves and the moose will die, so she can't shoot them anymore...!! (sarcastic)
Maybe someone should tell her that.

Has anyone looked at her reasons for rejecting this ? Surely, people understand that every hand out from Uncle Sam comes with conditions...and I admire and support the governors...including Palin... that refuse to subject the citizens of their states to those conditions. Do your homework people and stop being single minded. Just another attempt by liberal lefties to smear Palin. Ask yourself who the pawn really is in this case.

"We won’t be bound by federal strings in exchange for dollars, nor will we dig ourselves a deeper hole in two years when these federal funds are gone. For instance, in order to accept what look like attractive energy funds, our local communities would be required to adopt uniform building codes. Government would then be required to police those codes. These types of funds are not sensible for Alaska.” ... Sarah Palin
Palin has seen the teeth of the federal beast and knows how it inevitably bites the hand that feeds it. There is no such thing as free "funds" when congress is handing them out.

"For instance, in order to accept what look like attractive energy funds, our local communities would be required to adopt uniform building codes."

Yes Gina and Sarah, who would want uniform buiding codes? That would be like, irrational. Everyone wants helter-skelter ramshackle little buildings built any which way and as energy ineffecient as hell.

And then the "gov't would have to enforce them". Hell, don't want that. If you can get away with something, get away with it eh Gina? Especially if the rest of the country's governors all thought it was a good idea.

Some people just love being the 'messengers of truth and justice', even when it comes to Palin the oil and hunter's pimp.

This is one person I wish would disappear. Maybe she needs to watch Life after People on the History Channel and maybe, just maybe she might get a clue.

Alaska Gets Stimulus Windfall Despite Palin Opposition

Slap Shot: Alaska Legislators Set to Override Palin's Veto It will take a 75 percent legislative majority to override Palin's veto -- no small feat in a rightward leaning state. It would appear to be a political slap shot headed straight for the net.
