E-mails sent out Thursday on behalf of the Sarah Palin Legal Defense Fund link to a page on the fund's website featuring a U.S. map sprinkled with pink dots signifying friends.
The e-mail asks recipients to share the "campaign" with friends and family, adding, "we can cover the map with Sarah's supporters across the country!"
Fund manager Tim Crawford, who signed the e-mails, and Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, did not immediately return requests for comment.
Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, cited the toll of multiple "frivolous" ethics complaints as one of the reasons for her resignation as governor last year. She has said she racked up at least $500,000 in legal fees.
Important warning about e-mails purporting to be from the adn.com staff.
