This election is a referendum on the Trump presidency and the future of America. Do we want a Democracy based on the Constitution and the rule of law or not. All the other issues are rhetoric which cloud the choice and give Trump unchecked opportunities. Bill
These declining salmon numbers are so disheartening, and worse than I thought. I’m from Washington state where Alaskan salmon traveled down, and to a lesser degree still do, to areas where my father fished most of his life. Nothing better to grow up on, whether fresh, canned or smoked. I miss the endless supply we always had now that I’m in my sixties.
Of course I didn’t realize how lucky I was then, as the evidence of unnecessary decline has been all too apparent over the years. Not only to us, but the declining orca pod in the area who prefer the “Kings”.
The salmon industry is urgently critical for so many, and an obvious way of life in Alaska that should never diminish. If enough of us recognize and contribute to the invaluable fight, beyond the borders of Alaska, we could make a difference. Thank you, Mary for sharing this important article.
Yes, great! Fight for Alaska but remember that you work for ALL Americans as a Senator. Alaskans are those Americans and need to be informed as to what you will do for them that also affects every other American. We have yet to get answers from you to ALL the questions that we are asking about what you will do about issues that affect all Americans including the genocide in Gaza. You are not giving us those answers and that is not acceptable to those of us asking them. Do you support the genocide in Gaza and the monetary and military aid the US government is giving to the Israeli State? Do you support Rewriting the tax code so that the top 1% are forced to pay their fair share in taxes??? Do you support rewriting the rules for ICE so that they can no longer murder people on American soil and firing and putting on trial those who are breaking the rules and laws of America concerning immigrants as well as ordinary American citizens? Do you support impeachment of Donald Trump and all his Cabinet and the entire regime for breaking the laws of the land most especially the Constitution? Do you support firing every single trump government employee? Do you support getting back the integrity of our protective institutions that have been destroyed by trump hires who know nothing about the job they are supposed to be doing which is to protect the health and welfare of all Americans and every person on American soil???
If you are not precise about answering all these questions and more, we as Americans and Alaskans do not have a full picture of what you stand for, what you believe, and what you will work towards. Mary Peltola, what do you say?
Ads need to be run stating who it is supporting Dan Sullivan
America First is the Koch brothers .... you know, the ones who poisoned the ground in North Pole and have been fighting in court to not pay for it, while real Alaskans suffer and die because they cannot afford to move.
Let's talk about Sullivan in his "real Alaskan" shirts.... every time I see him featured I think "Oh wait Dan, your stylist forgot to remove the tag on your costume"
Does anyone else notice that his shirts are pristine, ironed and brand new?
Mostly I'm tired of Mary's ads being positive and not taking this guy off at the kneecaps - he and the entire Republican party take kindness as weakness - it is way past time to start hitting with a few hard facts about Sullivan.... like $30,000 dollar dinners.
It may be uber wealthy asset hoarders unwilling to be taxed trying to divide the rest of us. Those who live on dividends and loans on assets rather than work.
Tax wealth.
And in the meantime, keep up the challenges to corporations that strip assets from working people Mary.
As a former resident of Alaska (27 years on the Kenai) I care very much for the land and it's creatures, including people. I've supported your campaign, modestly as I am not of great wealth. Recently I see support from James Carville and am concerned that you may share his unwavering support for Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza and invasion of Lebanon. As a senator, international issues are also a part of your responsibility. I cannot support the inhumane behavior of Israel in any way. Would you make clear your stand on this important issue.
No, Fishing is not just a hobby, it is life. And it has been so for milenia. People who live close to the earth, the land and water, understand this. Honor all first nations/peoples, they honor our mother earth.
I wish you tons of luck. I wish I could donate to your campaign, but I am quite old and do not have extra money to donate.
Good Luck!

Eh? The Salmon's declining? How did this happen?

Start running ads playing "Fortunate Son" in the background.
