If she's going to use email addresses harvested from government records, what's to stop her and McBadJudgement from using other information if they somehow steal the White House?

JUNEAU -- Some legislators are accusing Gov. Sarah Palin of collecting and misusing thousands of e-mail addresses from state records to make a last-minute push for a bill to cut business license fees.

Palin aides confirm they compiled a list of nearly 23,000 e-mail addresses from the Department of Commerce and sent a "special message" from Palin saying House Bill 111 was stalled in the Senate. The e-mail included a list of all 20 senators and their phone numbers.

The governor's staff insisted Saturday that such mass mailings, whether electronic or by regular mail, have been done before by previous governors. Aides also say such e-mail information is public record available to anyone.

But some lawmakers accused Palin, a Republican, of taking advantage of state-held information that might not be readily available to send spam to push a political agenda.
