If you would like to Contribute to the Palin Fund: http://www.thealaskafundtrust.com/

A legal expense fund was set up this Friday to aid in the payment of more than $500,000 in legal bills built up by the Palin clan, defending ethics complaints - including one she filed against herself when she was a Republican vice presidential candidate.

Kristan Cole, a friend of the Palin Family, will help as the trustee of the legal expense fund, which launched its donation / solicitation Web site Friday morning.

The Alaska Fund Trust has modeled itself after the legal expense funds of other important political figures such as  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. John Kerry and even Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens.

Kristan Cole said whe wanted to help depend Palin against "the onslaught of frivolous attacks against her."
