On August 21st, Alaskans go to the polls and many will vote early starting on August 6th to make sure nothing prevents their vote from counting. Why? Because voting is an important duty for all Americans at every opportunity. That privilege was paid for in blood and continues today. Please don't take that for granted.
Voting is your opportunity to defend the Constitution from enemies domestic while our military handles those foreign. Our military take an oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. They are willing to lay down their lives to do so, and many have. All we have to do is vote appropriately and make it a team effort.
When we vote for representatives that uphold their oath of office to defend the Constitution and do what they say they are going to do, our votes make that happen and the credit is ours. If we re-elect those that don't, we reward and encourage bad behavior and violations to our Constitution and our liberties. We are not doing our job. As voters, if we are serious about defending our freedoms (PFDs, less government, etc.), it will be reflected in the way we vote and the outcome.
Enemies domestic are, but not limited to, any elected official that violate their oath of office and continues to grow the scope and size of government. They are not necessarily bad people. That is why they are continuously re-elected. Many are nice and friendly. They call you back and give you their personal number. They tell you what you want to hear. They say they are Christians, men of their word and you feel you can trust them. They appear principled. The letter behind their name fits. The list is long and only buys you more of the same.
The only thing that matters is their voting record!
Without firing a shot or taking one, it is our duty to get rid of them.
This is what elections are for: “Accountability” to their voting record!
If you have an incumbent on the ballot, and they voted against any liberty and to increase debt, taxes, spending or the scope and size of government, they failed. Do not vote for them. Vote for someone else and encourage others to also. Let these incumbents know you are doing your job because they did not do theirs. It is nothing personal.
District 9 has three candidates on the Republican Primary ballot, an incumbent, a former incumbent and Pam Goode.
Colver and Rauscher, two peas in a pod:
1. Both are incumbents and have voting records that falter in securing your liberties.
2. Both, are “not” fiscally responsible: One voted twice for a bloated unsustainable budget; the other voted for bonds (HB331) that are constitutionally questionable and adds over $100 million in spending long term.
3. Both like paying refundable cash credits to oil companies above what is contractually required, using budgets and bonds: One voted to continue paying the cash credits (HB247) and the other voted against ending them (HB111). Try justifying that over the importance of the overall Alaska economy and Alaskan families. You can't!
4. Both have supported Democrat leadership: The former incumbent, Colver, was part of the Musk Ox Coalition (Seaton, Colver, Ledoux, Stutes, Edgmon (D), Foster(D)), who gave the House Majority to the Democrats that instantly went for your PFD and income tax. The current incumbent, Rauscher, voted for Democrat Edgmon, one of the Musk Ox Coalition, for Speaker of the House. You heard that correctly. Edgmon? Why would anyone do that? Go along to get along? You vote for something, you put your name on it, you own it!
Every vote is important, especially yours!
5. Both want your vote: After voting for overspending budgets, constitutionally-questionable bonds, paying oil company cash credits greater than contractually obligated and Democrat leadership that wants to permanently cut your PFD and implement an income tax… and continue overspending and much more… Just say, “No!”
Pam Goode is the only true fiscal conservative and has the record to prove it from her past campaigns. Since 2014, Goode has continuously forewarned Alaskans that if the scope and size of government was not realigned to sustainable levels, the PFD would be cut and income taxes on the horizon. She's a forward thinker, long-term planner, knows how to keep your money in your pocket and is unwavering in securing life, liberty, property, privacy, etc.
Get rid of incumbents weak on protecting your liberty and conservative values and be proud of your vote! Vote Pam Goode for House District 9, and you'll be glad you did! She's Goode2Go and always looking out for you!
