"An Informed Voter Is The Best Defense Against Bad Government"

 


 

"2 MEMBERS OF AK VOTERS ORGANIZATION AGAINST HB 106"

By Bill and Samon Arnold - March 2, 2003

 


We as 2 members of the Alaska Voters Organization just noticed an educational hot button issue on the web site. How do each of you Legislators expect to cut funding and spending with crap like HB 106 and SB 106?

It is fast becoming clear to us that partisan politics are the real root problem with the failure of our government to budget and spend within its means. The Republicans and Democrats are a small minority, respectively with regard to 53% of the Undeclared and Non Partisan majority voters in this state.

We hope that organizations like Alaska Voters Statewide start focusing on new non partisan candidates that are lacking the Republican and Democrat label. We are letting a small minority run the majority under our present legislative makeup.

Each of you that sponsored HB 106 and SB 89 and plan to vote for them, ask yourself "What happens if a typical lobbyist cannot vote for me several hundred or a thousand times in my election bid next time?" Will I be in the legislature at the end of 2004 and 2006? You may wish to commission a study and consult with Former Representatives: Drew Scalzi, Hal Smalley, Ken Lancaster and Gail Phillips just to name four locally on the Kenai Peninsula. Do you catch the drift?
