I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to rescind this, but I have been quite busy. This list has been shown to be false.You can read the real story here from the archives of the Wasilla Frontiersman.
This information has been discovered to be unfounded by major news organizations such as CNN and CBS News:
"Bloggers on the left had their own exercise in mythology, circulating a list of the books Sarah Palin wanted banned from her local library when she was Mayor.
"It was an eye-opening list, to be sure - more proof that conservatives hate the whole idea of free expression. Except that the list wasn't true. It included books that hadn't even been published back in 1996, like the Harry Potter books."
Quoted from:

Can you get me a link or some way that I can share this info. with others....
I agree...she's so far right, she'd almost take away her own right to vote. I don't think she'll pull any Hillary supporters away--or am I just hopeful that the women supporting Hillary will use their brains!
Here is a list of books that Sarah Palin tried to have banned from the Wasilla Public Library, according to the official minutes of the Library Board. When she was unsuccessful at having these books banned, she tried to have the librarian fired.A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

She is an obvious attempt to draw the religious right and pull some Hillary voters. Would you really feel comfortable with this woman one heart attack away from the Oval Office? Not me. The last thing we need in the White House is another "servants heart".
Sarah Palin - Opinions seem to be divided right down party lines. What's your impression of McCain's pick?
So, I hate Michael Moore (and I'm sure most of that is due to the fact that I am ultra conservative, haha) but, I hope that McCain goes with someone more known, and someone who is pro-life. The conservative base is practically begging him (just listen to Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannaity's shows)to go with someone pro-life. If he doesn't, then McCain, who is finally gaining widespread support from his party, will upset us republicans yet again.
