Over the weekend, Garance Burke of the Associated Press, wrote an article titled,  "Palin Blurs Line Between Church And State As Governor." The title says it all. Here is an excerpt, but you should take a look at the entire article by clicking here.

An Associated Press review of the Republican Vice Presidential candidate's record as mayor and governor reveals her use of elected office to promote religious causes, sometimes at taxpayer expense and in ways that blur the line between church and state.

Since she took state office in late 2006, the governor and her family have spent more than $13,000 in taxpayer funds to attend at least 10 religious events and meetings with Christian pastors, including Franklin Graham, the son of evangelical preacher Billy Graham, records show.
