Brain -> Palin Calls for More Oil Mining, Backs Hamilton Team (5/1/2010 3:52:07 PM)
|
The revenue could have been as high as $900,000 and the charity got $50,000. I suppose she made $100,000, who knows, so she is really raking in the dough.
From a friend:
Hey Bill,

Palin Calls for More Oil Mining, Backs Hamilton Team
April 16, 2010, 10:56 AM EDT
By Joe Schneider
April 16 (Bloomberg) -- Canada should boost oil production from the tar sands in Alberta to create more jobs and greater energy independence for North America, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said.
“Ramp up development,” she told an audience in Hamilton, Ontario. “There’s an inherent link between energy and security.”
Palin, the 2008 Republican nominee for vice president, campaigned with a slogan of “drill baby, drill” to urge greater U.S. oil exploration. She spoke last night at a fundraising dinner to an audience of about 900 people who paid as much as C$1,000 ($998) to attend.
Palin said the U.S. elections in November will give Republicans an opportunity to “put the economy on the right track.” Until then, she said her focus is on helping the right candidates get elected.
The event’s organizers issued rules for journalists to attend Palin’s talk, requiring men to wear a jacket and tie or a suit -- “no blue jeans allowed” -- and reserving the right to confiscate film or digital flash cards of reporters who brought cameras or recording devices into the event. Offenders would be removed immediately, according to a memo.
“No member of the media will be able to ask a question of Ms. Palin in the ballroom during the event,” the memo said.
Palin, who has said she “won’t close the door” on a potential 2012 presidential bid, has kept a busy schedule of political appearances.
