Send Harry Crawford to D.C.!
Here’s the latest commercial for Harry Crawford, the Democratic candidate for Congress. We’ve had Don Young (Congressman for everyone who voted for him) for NINETEEN terms. I, for one, think that’s quite enough. Harry Crawford is experienced, tough, honest, and hard-working. He’s been an effective legislator as a Democrat in a relatively conservative district, and will bring his ability to work across the aisle to Washington D.C., where goodness knows, we need it!

Give ‘em Hell Harry!
Good luck in November, Harry! Hasn’t AK had enough of Yon Dung?
Sounds good to me. And one way to do it is to make sure there’s transparency on all sides about who is contributing money.

I’ll take this for any reason I can!
At the Bartlett Forum lunch today, I mentioned to Harry he had two votes already in. I joked and said, you are ahead by two right now, feel good? He gave me a quizzical look. I explained that my wife and I had just voted by mail. How can that be? As absentee ballots are not sent out until Oct. 13th. I just happened to have a copy of the instructions with me, since, at the previous lunch, another regular, who is a poll worker, told me she had never heard of a “Special Advanced Ballot” before. Have you?
Anyway, Harry read the instructions and said, “I did not know that”.
Okay, here is how it works: You aren’t going to be here for the election. So you fill out a normal absentee by mail application. But, they are not going to send you the ballot until Oct. 13th, and you are going to be out of the state/country then too. So, you complete that regular absentee application, but when you get to the block that says do you want a: “Special Advance Ballot” since you are going to be gone then too, you check that block.
You then receive: (Well, let the election office say it for me here:) “The Special Advance is provided to assure adequate time for mail delivery. In addition to the Special Advance Ballot, the Official Ballot will be mailed to you approximately three weeks prior to Election Day. You are encouraged to vote and return both ballots. If the Official Ballot is received in time, that ballot will be counted. If the Official Ballot is not received in time, The Special Advance Ballot will be counted.”
So, now you know.
Crawford is a good man. Strongly endorsed by Moose Pucky.
Thank you for running Mr. Crawford! You have my vote! Go Harry, all the way to DC.
Besides, he makes incredible gumbo! Unfortunately I missed his last fundraiser/gumbo feed, though I did drop off a check.
Dump Don. Lose Lisa.
A few years ago, my mantra was Dump Don, Toss Ted.
It bears repeating.
Dump Don. Lose Lisa.
From Mirriam-Webster Online:
Definition of LOSE
transitive verb
to fail to keep in sight or in mind
Oh, and. Joe can Go.
Anywhere but here.
Alaska has had enough opportunists.
Soapy Smith. Fast forward to George Hohman. Again fast forward to Lou Dischner. Again fast forward to the current batch of legislators in jail, the Corrupt Bastards Club, now in jail.
We want Statesmen.
Enter McAdams. Alaska’s next (please ignore title) Hammond. Hammond was the Alaska Statesman that was forward- looking enough to provide our state with a plan for financial security that has been unheard-of in our country’s history.
Joe Miller would tell us that the permanent fund is not in the constitution and should not exist. Therefore, he could spend it to develop McKinley into a theme park. (want to ride that roller coaster?)
We are the only solvent state in the union right now because we had visionary statesmen, not tea party restrictionists that disallowed our government from acting in our own best interest.
The Tea Party is NOT going to produce a statesman.
Well said.
All that old campaign mantra has no relevance this year. I am sure that it is time to begin the beginning of seniority. There is so much that is new. We need to build on our strengths. We have one foot in the door. Lets get some more.
If we discount the opportunity to elect Harry Crawford, perhaps we don’t deserve what we get.
Give ‘em hell, Harry.
“perhaps we deserve what we get” Bad, bad. me.
We must grow up/out of the territory/statehood mind set. Not to forget the owner state concept, but because we need new generators of ideas that just might work. We have to talk about it in a Statewide way.
This election may not produce answers/electoral answers. It not to our liking we have real viable options. It’s called community organizing. Participate in your local neighborhood organization. Participate within your precinct and ward/district organization. Attend the conventions, meet everybody, offer to help. The biggest fault with our political system is no one is taking care of the neighborhoods, except our State Legislative Representatives.
Look around.
Hasn’t got a “snowballs chance in hell” ….if you want to spend time effectivley …make sure your friends write-in Murkowski.
Troll alert on aisle 9…
How do you spell Lisa’s last name? Miller-Lite.
Ah- tis just an obscurantist…
we are used to them, aren’t we ?
How do you spell time-for-change?
C R A W F O R D !
M c A D A M S !
Troll alert on aisle 9. I’m going with that everywhere I go. Thanx
I liked the ad at the end, where the one woman said “Give ‘em hell, Harry!” – a tie to Pres. Harry Truman. Nice to see that Wasilla does have some good citizens after all.
