You better watch out, You better not cry, You better not pout, I’m telling you why … Sarah Palin will be appearing at the Fairmont Hotel on April 30. And Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert will be there with a welcome.
The former vice presidential candidate will appear at the Fairmont Hotel at a fundraiser for a non-existent women’s center in Oak Lawn. This is the first project for a new group called Palin 4 Life.
Tickets begin at $1,000, which includes dinner. For just $10,000, you can be included in a VIP reception with VIP seating, have a listing in the program and get a professional 8-by-10-inch photo taken with Palin. You can also get two tickets for $25,000 or four tickets for $75,000.
Interesting math, you betcha.
Palin 4 Life claims to be a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, which would make tickets tax deductible. However, a quick search of the IRS web site to verify the organization’s 501(c)(3) status returned this result:

The evening of fundraising for this non-existent women’s center by this non-tax exempt organization will feature a special greeting and welcome by Mayor Leppert.
The event is to raise money to buy an Oak Lawn property on Fairmount Street.
They claim that it will be a “one-of-a-kind women’s health and wellness resource center serving professional and collegiate women in the North Texas community. This is a new concept that will be a model for other centers in the country.”
From a splash page, the center links back to Palin 4 Life. Uptown Women’s Center also claims to be a 501(c)(3) but is also not listed as tax-exempt on the IRS Web site. No additional information is given about the center.
See you there!
I would like to know if there are a group of individuals who are organizing a protest. I want to be involved.
I guarantee you, Mayor Ed Oakley wouldn’t be trotting around behind Caribou Barbie the way SchLeppert is, and Oakley wouldn’t be supporting an event by a sleazy, anti-gay politician exploiting reproductive rights for financial gain by charging $100K speaking fees to hear her attack anyone who doesn’t support her right-wing agenda to subjugate our country to her hateful bigotry by force of law.
Hey, can we have a redo on the last mayoral election?
The woman is a NUTCASE.
Keep her away! Keep her away! She’s going to try to make me straight!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!
Carl, I think the effect might be to turn a number of people directly into the LGBT recruiting station.
I’m stoked she’ll be in town. She’s the kind of leader this country needs anyway.
Great. Glad we let you know about it. Now go, pay your $10,000 and just don’t try to deduct it from your taxes, because the “charity,” for tax purposes, is a fraud.
