It also fails to include information about her attempts to have books banned from the Wasilla library, her association with an Alaskan separatist organization, her falling approval rates, and her ultra-conservative church, which is connected with an organization written-up by the Southern Poverty Law Center. In this regard, the story is not as thorough as I would have liked.
