Palin: Don’t forget Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Sarah Palin urged Americans on Sunday not to forget Haiti as she wrapped up a weekend visit to an aid group’s sites in this country vexed by a cholera epidemic, earthquake reconstruction and political crisis.

Accompanied by her husband, Todd, daughter Bristol, a Fox News crew and the Rev. Franklin Graham, who runs Samaritan’s Purse, the aid group that hosted her, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate arrived in Haiti during a respite from the riots and violence that have followed the Caribbean nation’s dysfunctional Nov. 28 election.

“I do urge Americans not to forget Haiti,” she said at a Sunday afternoon news conference.
