Obama Pay-for-Play Award of No-Bid Contract to Anti-Palin Enviros

On April 21 of this year, the authors of SPIB and SWB spearheaded a collaborative effort among Sarah Palin supporters to counter the vicious attacks of Defenders of Wildlife and their confederates against Governor Palin’s upcoming Sarah Palin’s Alaska documentary series.  These groups waged a massive ad campaign and presented a petition to the Discovery Channel at their annual stockholders meeting in an attempt to get them to drop Governor Palin’s series. 

Our counter petition and the signatures of Sarah Palin supporters collected during our petition drive were FedExed overnight to the CEO of Discovery Channel with a request that they be presented at the shareholders meeting.  Defenders of Wildlife bragged that their petition had caused Discovery to “revise the description” of the series, a claim that we find doubtful.  Governor Palin’s series has stayed on course as planned and is scheduled to launch on November 14.

However, the news has come this week that these vengeful haters have been given a no-bid government contract by the Obama administration, ostensibly to survey oilspill area seabirds.  It is our opinion that this is just another Obama Pay-for-Play to reward them for their attacks on Governor Palin since during the time she was governor of Alaska.  There are scientists at our universities who were far more qualified to do this type of research and who are suffering from university budget cuts in this strained economy.  But the contract went without competition to a group with a political agenda.

Pay-for-Play deals are nothing new for the Obama administration, especially where Sarah Palin is concerned.  Obama’s first of many Pay-for-Play deals was his appointment of Kim Elton, who ramrodded the “Troopergate” investigation, to a make-work position in the Department of the Interior.  Pete Rouse, a close friend of Kim Elton, was also involved in this politically-motivated investigation and is now a special adviser to Obama and part of the West Wing’s inner circle.  Rouse has coordinated the attacks on Governor Palin by the group of bloggers  that Sarah Palin supporters call the Alaska mafia.

So the award of government money to political activists who have relentlessly attacked Governor Palin should come as no surprise.  It is just typical of the Chicago-style politics that have run rampant throughout the Obama administration’s time in office.  But it should anger the American people to see this type of corruption in the White House.  November mid-term elections are approaching, and it is time for Americans to take a stand against the abuses of the Obama administration and the willing cooperation of the most corrupt Congress in our nation’s history.

As the premier of Governor Palin’s Alaska series approaches, let’s show her our support.  You may go to our petition site and sign the Show Your Support for Governor Palin’s Alaska Series petition and here to join a Facebook group whose goal is to support that series.  A Facebook Cause supporting the series can be found here.  Previous articles about our petition drive can be found here, here, here, and here.
