Earlier this week the Daily Kos proclaimed that Republican Gov. Sarah
Palin was lying about
her newest baby–that indeed it was their 17 y/o daughter
Bristol’s. The purpose of course would to be to hide the fact that her
daughter
is unmarried. Now they admit Bristol is 5 mos. pregnant and will wed.
Gee…. Alaskan winters are dark almost 24hrs. What else is there to do? haha
But should the VP abandon her own child and family just to be VP?
Come hear the truth for yourself from the Editor of Daily Kos!!

"WHEN SYSTEMS COLLIDE"
A Candidate Forum to Discuss
HARRIS COUNTY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS
One Voice and The Network of Behavioral Health Providers invite you to a Candidates’ Forum at which candidates for key Harris County offices will offer their views on how the office for which they are running and the county can have an impact to ensure that the adult criminal justice system is not the community behavioral health treatment system “safety net”.
It is a well known fact that nation-wide the failure to provide adequate community behavioral health services impacts a community’s criminal justice system. In Harris County, much attention and effort have been paid to providing county inmates needed behavioral health treatment.
