[Vision2020] Palin Candidacy Helps Planned Parenthood

[Jeff Harkins]

Mr Hansen,

I have no difficulty with criticism of public officials as they carry 
out their daily responsibilities.

I have serious concern about taking actions that serve to malign or 
harm that individual.  The donation scam is tasteless and unethical.

As to the rest of your diatribe - drivel.  You don't want meaningful 
dialogue, you want the "most posted award".

Guess what - you win.
