PTA's are non profit organizations exempt from taxation. Therefor, those records are available to the public.

I want to know, when Sarah Palin was working with the PTA, did they hold any raffles? How much money did they raise? What was it spent on?

I know this is completely laughable, but he's seriously bringing up the PTA as a reason she's got the skills to be President. Did her PTA raise a million dollars and give every student a lifetime supply of brownies?

6. From what I've been able to uncover
She was in charge of a PTA cake-walk but waited before offering Trudy Shelton's famous triple-decker, choco-angel food cake as a prize until all her kids, her husband, and her sister were able to participate at the same time, thus stacking the deck. Other PTA members had overheard Mrs. Palin making comments on the cake earlier on the day and felt her actions were very suspicious. The cake was eventually won by her oldest daughter.
