So in my mail today was a letter from the Office Of Governor Of Alaska and here it is:

"Dear Neighbor,

As Governor of Alaska, I am pleased to tell you about a very special offer: now you can receive an official Alaska travel guide - absolutely FREE. This isn't some skimpy brochure - this is a full-color publication, as bold and exciting as Alaska. Just imagine.

-Watchable wildlife, outdoor photography, camping, fishing, clamming, hunting,
hiking , and nature walks.

-Breathtaking glaciers, deepblue fjords, the midnight sun or dazzling aurora borealis,
rain forests, volcanic landscapes and the Arctic Circle.

-Rafting, a dog sled ride, Eskimo blanket toss, panning for gold, relaxing in fine
restaurants, discovering our Alaska Native and Russian cultural roots.

To get full value out of your visit to Alaska, you'll want the free Alaska travel guide. You'll learn more about our comfortable weather - how easily you can visit us and much more!

I hope you'll come to Alaska soon, and I urge you to use the enclosed card to send for your free Alaska travel guide right away. It's an official publication, so there's no obligation. But please write today - we've run out of copies in the past. In the meantime, visit our website at TripToAlaska.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

With warm regards,
sig Sarah

Sarah Palin
Governor"

I didn't know what to make of receiving this especially since they even included my middle initial on the envelope. So she was apparently well received at the recent Republican Governors convention, but to keep her name out there she is reduced to being a pimp for Alaska tourism. Ok so I didn't vote for her. Even if I had not been for another team I would have voted against whatever team she was on to keep her from being a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Sorry Sarah, but I won't be coming to Alaska anytime soon. You see, I really don't like cold weather, or you, for that matter. I may send off for the brochure though.

It is more that the tourism board for Alaska obtained your name from a mailing list of some sort.

If you were on a Republican mailing list, they are attempting to leverage her name for the state.

The thing is I'm not on any Republican mailing lists and any sort of tourist mailing list I might have made it to definitely don't have my middle initial.

Just reported on MSNBC Sarah Palin may be in the works for a $7 million book deal. I guess she will no longer need her job as governor with it's ridiculous per diem pay for staying at home. Nor will she need to pimp out her state's tourism.

To Conehead433, this is the opportunity of a lifetime, just get your parents to abandon you on the implied terms of the Nebraska law, show up at the Sarah Palin mansion, sit down, and set a spell.
You lucky dog you! Why is it always someone else, all I get are Nigerian scams. Dialing for dollars never finds me.

Don't go unless she's buying your airfare, hotel room and $150,000 wardrobe romp through Neiman-Marcus. :laugh:

You must be on some mailing list that has your middle initial.

The Alaskan tourism board was able to purchase it.

Even though your vote may not be for sale, your name is:p

Yep. Same with Bloomberg here in NYC. This is a non-issue.

I didn't post this as something to take issue with. I have never received any sort of mail from a Governor and found it amusing that she would flood the country with Alaska tourism mail to keep her name out there.

And that is your problem. You are attempting to tie her name (politically) in with the tourism board (promotionaly).

As others have stated, it is common occurance for the governor's name/sig to go oiut under correspondence.

I'd fly up to use her as a cum dumpster. That's about all she is useful for.

That's about as far as this thread needs to be derailed.
