            I know this isn't the place for partisan politics and I'm not
    going to discuss what I think of Sarah Palin's positions on abortion or
    foreign policy or whether polar bears belong on the Endangered Species
    Act. But she did try to censor books in the Wasilla Public Library and
    she did try to fire the librarian for not agreeing to do so. And she did
    support a bill in the legislature that would have forced librarians to
    tell parents what books their children had checked out of the library.

            I thought, as librarians, you might want to know her position on
    libraries and censorship.
            There is a well documented anti-Palin librarian's web site that
    discusses this. issues:http://librariansagainstpalin.wordpress.com/
