When Sarah Palin appointed Dan Sullivan to serve as Alaska’s Attorney General, she was promoting the next generation of Tea Party leadership in the state.
Now Sullivan is running for the U.S. Senate where he sees himself aligned with Senators like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee; the crazy wing of the once-proud Republican Party.
After twenty years in the service, including a tour in Iraq, I’m happy to join with VoteVets in an effort to educate Alaskans about Sullivan’s extreme views.
Like the multiple times he tried to usher in a plan that would quickly grant land use permits on sensitive fisheries and hunting areas to his special interest friends – including general permits for mineral extraction – all without public notice or the chance to comment.
It’s a violation of Alaska’s State Constitution, and as an Alaskan, that’s something I take very seriously.
In a recent hearing about the bill, over 150 Alaskans attended to protect their fisheries, forests and wetlands. Only two stood in support of the bill, both representatives of a local mining association.
For many veterans, these lands are vital to re-acclimating to society after returning home from service overseas. They shouldn’t be handed over to special interests happy to irreparably destroy them for a quick buck.
Thank you for helping us make our voices heard on this issue.

No Justice for Amazon Massacre in Peru Five years ago yesterday the Devil’s Curve earned its name. This wild stretch of highway outside the Peruvian town of Bagua was transformed from a peaceful protest site into a national tragedy now known as the Baguazo. Though the multi-week roadblock was due to disband that same day, militarized riot police entered by force in the early dawn and a deadly melee ensued. When the teargas and gunsmoke cleared, 34 people were dead and hundreds more wounded, including protesters and police officers. Today, 54 protesters and ostensible instigators are on trial for the infamous Baguazo. Government prosecutors have accused high-profile indigenous leaders of inciting their people to violence. Several indigenous representatives like Alberto Pizango, president of the Amazon-wide indigenous organization AIDESEP, face sentences of 35 years to life. |
