I read that the Palin's were taken out of TV's yesterday in 4 military helicopters....is this true....and if so....do our tax dollars pay for all security of those nominated? They are not on US payroll yet...shouldn't they hire their own security? This is for all parties...not just Palin....
Whenever government assets are used in campaign activities, the cost for the use of those assets is reimbursed to the government. As an example, whenever the President travels on Air Force One on party business, the costs associated with that aircraft and the support logistics are paid from private sources. The same holds true for any other government asset.
