Google couldn't help, but I was sent a very good link about Sarah Palin, Franklin Graham and some others in connection with USAID money meant for Haiti relief which seems to be finding a different destination, to be used for different purposes. (H/T to AB)
Our Government-Funded Mission to Make Haiti Christian: Your Tax Dollars, Billy Graham's Son, Monsanto and Sarah Palin
Franklin Graham with Sarah Palin in Haiti, December 2010[...] U.S. taxpayer dollars are, against Presidential directive, being funneled from the United States Agency for International Development to Billy Graham's charities for use in Christian proselytizing—all while building Sarah Palin's 2012 campaign army.

Monsanto donated tons of corn and vegetable seed to Haitian farmers and has committed to donating hundreds of tons more in the coming months.

Please read the whole article.
Nomadic Joe also made some connections between Haiti and Sarah Palin's new chief-of-staff in an article on Politicalgates.
I find it scandalous that some people have no qualms in exploiting one of the poorest countries in the world in such cynical fashion. Sarah Palin appears to be very comfortable in the company of these despicable opportunists. Birds of a feather...
