Dear Sir / Madame,

Dear Govenor, Thank you for your decision to resign as Alaska's Govenor. Let's go through a Sarah Palin run-down as we wish you Fare-well. We start with .. -- December 2006 -- Gov. Sarah Palin, a former mayor of Wasilla City, Alaska, becomes governor of her state after defeating an incumbent governor of her own party in the primary and then beating a former governor in the general election. -- August 2008 -- John McCain picks Palin as his vice presidential running mate in a startling selection that makes the Alaska governor the first woman named to a spot on a Republican national ticket. -- September 2008 -- An announcement that Palin's then 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant creates a stir as the governor prepares to accept her nomination at the Republican National Convention. -- October 2008 -- Palin is investigated for the firing of a public safety commissioner who said he felt pressure from the governor, her husband and her staff to fire a state trooper who had gone through a divorce from Palin's sister. The Alaska Legislature finds Palin abused her power in office, but a report released by the Alaska Personnel Board on the eve of the election clears Palin of wrongdoing in Troopergate. -- November 2008 -- McCain and Palin lose the 2008 presidential race. -- June 2009 -- Palin blasts comedian David Letterman for making a joke about her daughter getting "knocked up" by New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez. Letterman apologizes. -- July 2009 -- Palin makes a surprise announcement, saying she is resigning from her post as governor at the end of the month. And lets look at the Sarah Palin VS Animals ...... In 2007, Palin announced a $150 bounty for wolves. Why? Because wolves prey on moose and caribou, two favorite targets for hunters in Alaska. So Palin instituted a program to encourage hunters to kill wolves so that there would be more moose and caribou for hunters to kill. A lawsuit by Defenders of Wildlife resulted in the Alaska Superior Court ruling that the state Department of Fish and Game did not have the authority to institute a bounty program. A state program to shoot wolves and bears from the air continues, and on August 26, 2008, Ballot Measure 2, which would have stopped the aerial gunning of predators, was defeated by state voters. Palin is also a hunter and a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. In addition, Palin has sued the Bush administration to delist polar bears under the Endangered Species Act because the protection of polar bears interferes with drilling for oil and gas. Palin even penned an op-ed for the New York Times, explaining her scientific arguments against protecting polar bears. Isn't it funny how her op-ed doesn't mention drilling for oil? Check out www.eyeonpalin.org, a campaign set up by the national wildlife conservation organization Defenders Of Wildlife. Quoting from the site: "We've seen appalling new images of Governor Sarah Palin's cruel war on wolves -- pictures Palin would never want seen on a postcard from Alaska: Wolf carcasses skinned and stacked in piles in the woods; Dead wolves riddled with buckshot and lying bloody in the snow; Sarah Palin's hired killers smiling and posing in front of an airplane loaded down with recently slaughtered wolves." Some truly disturbing facts and photos there for you, along with -- of course -- their request for funds to help sponsor a campaign to help publicize what clearly needs to be better known. But let's face it, money is the fuel we nonprofits use to get the work done. The sad thing about Sarah Palin jokes,is that the animals really can't afford to have us laughing about this. Wolves are extraordinarily complex and important animals, social and intelligent beings one step away from "man's best friend", and the long suffering victims of campaigns designed to exterminate yet another of Mother Earth's miracles. Check out a copy of Farley Mowatt's wonderful book, Never Cry Wolf, to learn what these animals are really about; written in 1963, it is a classic which deserves to be read by the widest possible audience. And go to the website above if you want to learn about an ignorant and mean approach designed to bring these animals nothing more than a cruel death cynically justified as conservation. Needless to say, from an animal rights standpoint, Sarah Palin IS NO FRIEND TO ANIMALS !! So GOOD BYE SARAH!!! Can't say we will Miss You. But Blessings to you from now on. Bye Bye !
