There is a tremendous amount of pressure on legislators when they get to Juneau and it starts from their own colleagues within their own party. If they have not been engaged in the legislative sessions then they look for guidance from those before them who have more experience and are more “established” and those career politicians are more than eager to provide it.

No one wants to be disliked for taking a stand but isn't that what has brought us to where we are today with the PFD cuts, Crime and the discussion of an income tax? The draining of over 18 billion in our reserves did not occur over night but it occurred during the past 6-years one bloated unsustainable budget at a time. Also continuing to fund the cash oil credit program when Alaska was deficit spending over 3-billion a year. Then they add insult to injury with a $1 billion bond package (constitutionally questionable) to pay off the cash credits above statutory minimums while PFDs are being paid below statutory minimums. This is blatant fiscal negligence and one I have referred to as the "Crime of the Century" against the people.

The power of the caucus is strong and it takes a strong person to stand up and say, “this is wrong!”. This violates my oath of office, this violates law, this works against the freedoms of the people, this works against the constituents in my district, etc.

Voting records show this. 
DO INCUMBENTS “VOTE” ALONG TO GET ALONG? 
Do they stand for power or principles? I've met many legislators and they are good people, but they have contributed either directly or indirectly to where Alaska is today. And Yes, it only takes one term to be the problem or apart of the problem.

Many of us have lived long enough to see so many liberties destroyed by nice conservative legislators. Most of the time they are re-elected because no one “better” will run against them. Often times when someone does, they are unknown, not good enough or their campaign is not funded enough. The bottom line is, We, the voters, do not know how these “nice” legislators have voted. Had we'd of known, the outcome may have been different.

At the end of the day, the government we have is the government we chose. It is that simple. If we want to truly preserve and restore the freedoms for our generation and future generations, we must vote accordingly. If not, we have only ourselves to blame. Lukewarm is destroying our state and country.

Elections are Important! It's the opportunity for “the people” to determine the direction of their future, good or bad. If the people want change, they must vote for it!

I'm Pam Goode and I'm running for House in District 9. I don't have a legislative voting record but I have a history of being principled with the same message for a very long time. I have not wavered off my fiscally conservative stand or principles of life, liberty, property or privacy. I've fought harder and longer for those principles than anyone other candidate. The reason I know legislators is because they hear from me often and I encourage others to do the same. Accountability is the key and it's our job as Alaskans and Americans to make it happen.

I would be honored for your vote on August 21. As you can see I'm Goode2Go and ready to work for you and be apart of the leadership with solutions to get this state back on track.

No surprise to hear that she was the spearhead of the PFD ERA raid to early fund Alaska’s schools.

Also no Surprise to see our local Mainstream Media attacking conservatives overs and over again and keep giving these DemoRats glowing reviews.
