Palin says that “Obama has authored two books but has never authored a bill.” Can they really just make stuff up like that and get away with it? 

Palin didn't even write her own speech, Obama did, but most importantly, here are the facts:

While Barack Obama was in the State Senate of Illinois, for 8 years,  he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced:

• 233 for healthcare reform
• 125 about poverty and public assistance, in a way to get people off of public assistance
• 112 crime fighting bills that lowered the rate of false imprisionnment while at the same time, actually reduced crime and increased the rate of conviction
• 97 bills for the economy
• 60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills
• 21 ethics reform bills
• 15 gun control
• 6 veterans affairs

And that’s not all.

When he became a U.S. Senator from Illinois, in only two years, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427.

• Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006, which became law
• Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, which became law
• Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, which passed in the Senate
• 2007 Government Ethics Bill, which is now law
• Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee,

to name just a few!

In all, since entering the State/U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.

Now let’s look at some facts about Palin’s State of Alaska.

She complains about big spending, and boasts about her lean governent, but Alaska is number 1 in the amount paid out in welfare, while Illinois has among the lowest welfare rates in the country:

Alaska: No. 1, paying $3699 per person
Illinois: No. 40 at $1176 per person

This means that Alaska receives 3.15 times the amount of federal aid per person as Illinois!

And how large is their government? Alaska’s government is the second largest in the country, while Illinois has the smallest size government in the entire nation:

State governmental full-time employment per 10,000 residents:

Illlinois: 104, no. 50–The smallest state government in the United States!

Alaska: 370, no. 2! Second largest government in the  in the nation in the size of its government!

Now let’s look at their taxes! The State of Alaska receives more money from its citizens than any other state in the union!

Alaska: Receives $13,446 per person. Number 1 nationally.
Illinois: $4819, no. 37 nationally.

Alaska extracts 2.78 times as much revenue from its citizens as Illinois!

This has got to be exposed. We cannot let them get away with this. Do something!!
