When the FBI raided state legislature offices in Aug. 2006, it publicly launched an investigation that ultimately reached the highest levels of Alaska politics, and continues to this day.

From Sean Cockerham in Anchorage –

Sarah Palin is apparently headed to a suburb of Milwaukee next month as the draw for a Wisconsin Right to Life fundraising event.

Wisconsin Right to Life says (and I haven’t seen a Palin confirmation) she’ll be appearing Nov. 6 at the Wisconsin Exposition Center.

Tickets are $30.

This is the first advertised appearance I've seen since her September speech in Hong Kong. Presumably Palin will start appearing more as part of the publicity for “Going Rogue,” coming out Nov. 17.

UPDATE --

She's speaking in Missouri too, at a Christian college near Branson.

Palin is scheduled to speak about "patriotism, citizenship and civic engagement" Dec. 2 at College of the Ozarks. The college said tickets quickly sold out.
