MESSAGE:
Governor Palin:

This is to ask for the second year in a row if you will please appoint me as a Public Member, Alaska Bar Association Board of Governors. I believe I am correct that the term of Mr. Joseph Faulhaber, 345 Pay Streak Drive, Fairbanks, Alaska 99712 (907)457-2010 joe@acsalaska.net expires on March 1, 2008. Mr. Faulhaber has bragged that he has been a Public Member, Alaska Bar Association Board of Governors, under four Governors including you. If you appoint me, I will make you proud of my efforts. It is time for fair Alaska law licensure.

Best of luck in all of your endeavors.

Sincerely yours,

Theresa
