Juneau Resident Attempts to Close Down Piper Palin's Lemonade Stand
Conservatives4Palin ^ | 05-07-09 | Joseph Russo

Posted on 05/07/2009 7:50:32 PM PDT by euram

A Juneau reader, and fan of Governor Palin (a rare breed in Juneau, I'm sure), tells me that the man behind the movement to close down Piper Palin's lemonade stand is one Chip Thoma.

Mr. Thoma leads a group of Juneau residents who are just "sick and tired" of the Palins and the tours that are conducted to the governor's mansion (something that has been occurring in Juneau since the first governor took office). It seems that Governor Palin is so popular with tourists that thousands of people are walking from the docks to the governor's mansion in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the first family. Mr. Thoma feels that this -- along with Piper Palin's lemonade stand, trampoline and buoy swing -- is "bringing down the neighborhood." It seems that Mr. Thoma doesn't enjoy the Palin children very much. Grinch.

I’m not sure what’s worse – the fact that Liberals are complete scum, or that they’re proud of it.

Really, I need a stronger word than “contempt” for people like this.

And I am sure this guy wrote a leter to the Obama’s complaining about the swing set they put up for their girls and the garden they planted on WH property. Speaking of which, we haven’t heard much lately about how their garden doth grow!! Perhaps with silver bells and cockle shells and one damn weed!

Oh believe me..what I would love to do to this guy would get me arrested..so I totally hear ya. Ya think the media will have this guy investigated..HAHA who am I kidding right..they will probably end up investigating to see if Piper reported her lemonade earnings to the IRS. It’s a shame that Sarah has to take care of idiots like this in her state.

I want to know if Piper has a work permit, because I think she’s only 14 or 15? Also, does she have workman’s comp. insurance, does she have the proper business licenses, of course, does she report her earnings, and pay the payroll taxes, and does she have an environmental impact statement for her business, and is she in violation of zoning laws by running a business in a residential area. There are so many issues to be resolved. I hope that the MSM are planning to descend on Alaska again to investigate the Palin family.

(Following the lead of Perez Hilton) you just know that some RAT is looking into the question of whether Piper has falsies and has want to know if she has posed for lingerie ads. And not just for the purpose of destroying her.

Mr. Thoma's group has decided to plant "stop tours" signs on the path from the docks to the governor's mansion.

Now that's handy! I'll be in Juneau next week. All I have to do is follow the nice red "Stop Tours" signs to find the mansion! LOL

AWESOME..when you go there, if you see the idiot..give him a special middle finger salute for me..and yeah, tell him thanks for the signs, it helped you locate the mansion..See, I always knew Obama supporters were stupid, but this guy just proves the obvious. He doesn’t want people finding the mansion, so he posts signs that basically tells people where it is LOL

Thoma, who describes himself as a political gadfly, filed an ethics complaint against Governor Hickel on May 3, 1991, which alleged that Hickel was attempting to use his official position for personal financial gain.

Hickel discussed with his aides ways of retaliating against Thoma. They decided that Thoma's criminal record should be publicized.

The record of the Alaska Public Safety Information Network (APSIN), a computer system which contains comprehensive criminal records, indicates that inquiries were made concerning Thoma's criminal history on May 7 and May 9, 1991. The record does not show who made the inquiries. A printout of Thoma's criminal record was circulated among the governor's aides.

Thoma's convictions are a matter of public record. The court records in Juneau show two DWI convictions in 1979 and a 1985 cocaine conviction. Thoma was convicted of two additional DWIs in Oregon.

Hadn't heard about this particular incident, but there is an orchestrated war of harassment - specious ethics complaints that have the Palins deep in legal fees.
We keep talking about moving the capitol. I'd welcome her to Fairbanks in a heartbeat.

Palin’s didn’t report earnings from lemonade stand as income.

Piper Palin doesn’t have to if she didn’t make more that a couple thousand.

From right, Piper Palin, 8, the daughter of Gov. Sarah Palin, and Natalie Cosgrove, 8, sell lemonade to Andrea Watts and her mother, Pam, in front of the Governor's Mansion on Sunday. Other items for sale included diet ice tea and banana bread. Small boxes of raisins were free. (Photo: Michael Penn / Juneau Empire)

'We are stardust, we are golden' Images from another time Heidi Bradner Juneau Empire Juneau residents, left to right, Tom Melville, Natalee Rothaus and Chip Thoma flash the peace sign as they pose in front of a VW microbus in Juneau on the 20th anniversary of the quintessential music festival of the 1960s, Woodstock. All three attended the event in up-state New York in August of 1969. Melville and his brother, Ken, lived in nearby Owego, N.Y. and used their local knowledge to avoid much of the giant traffic snarl to get to the concert. Rothaus had just graduated from high school in Brooklyn, N.Y., and saw an ad in the New York Times advertising a "Groovy Music Festival Upstate." Thoma was given a job as a security guard and spent the entire concert next to the stage. The lyric cited above the photo is from a Joni Mitchell song commemorating Woodstock
