To:
Sarah Palin, Governor of the State of Alaska
Today, the Supreme Court has
supported Judge Peter A. Michalski’s Superior Court decision.
This makes it very clear that 1) The Alaska Legislative Council has
the constitutional authority to conduct this investigation; 2) The Alaska
Legislative Council has constitutional authority to issue subpoenas;
3) There is no evidence that this investigation has been anything but
“fair and just,” especially considering its bipartisan beginnings.
As a result, Investigator Stephen Branchflower will release his report
to the Legislative Council on-time tomorrow.
Alaskans for Truth has made
it our personal goal to help “hold you accountable” in this process
as you requested. We worked tirelessly on our “Countdown to
Truth” campaign, which has motivated hundreds of Alaskans to call
and email the Council Members and encourage them to vote “yes” for
release of the report. I feel confident that a majority of the
Legislative Council understands the importance of governmental accountability
to Alaskans and to people across the country.
However, we are still waiting
for a response from you, Governor, regarding the 2000-signature petition
we delivered to your Communication Director, Bill McAllister, asking
for the removal of Talis Colberg from the office of Attorney General
due to unethical and illegal conduct. We also await your response
to our previous letter, sent October 3, 2008, asking you to fulfill
your promise of transparency and accountability to the people of Alaska.
The people of Alaska have the right to expect their government to act
lawfully and the recent court activity has highlighted that you and
members of your administration have not. Governor Palin, YOU are
the only one who can rectify this:
- You should immediately and freely provide a thorough explanation of your involvement in “Troopergate,” as you originally promised Alaskans.
- You should immediately ask for AG Talis Colberg’s resignation for his unethical and unlawful response to this investigation.
- You should immediately tell McCain Campaign’s East Coast attorney, Ed O’Callaghan “thanks, but no thanks” and send him back to New York. The Supreme Court decision has made him irrelevant.
We look forward to your response.
