SarahPAC fundraising letter: She's on 'verge' of decision

According to the Des Moines Register, Sarah Palin's non-campaign political action committee, SarahPAC, sent out a hard-copy fundraising letter dated Sept. 20, saying that Palin is "on the verge of making her decision of whether or not to run for office," and urging supporters to send money right away.

The letter, signed by SarahPAC treasurer Tim Crawford, says, "It's one of the most difficult and important decisions of her life. And I want her to know that she has our support." (emphasis original, also below)

The fundraising appeal ties President Obama to a series of depressing national unemployment and economic indicators, then warns, "Someone must save our nation from this road to European Socialism," asking "Do you think it should be Gov. Palin?"

The letter then asks recipients if they can send their "best, one-time gift" to SarahPAC to help Palin "elect more common-sense conservatives -- and show her that we support her if she decides to run."

It closes: "With time running out, thank you for your swift response!"
