Alaska: One Senator Down, One Congressman to Go

By Chip Hanlon | July 29, 2008 | 1:43 PM | 1 Comment

News is breaking that Alaska Senator, Ted Stevens (R), has been indicted on multiple corruption charges relating to his service in public office. Shocker.

By now you have most likely also heard that this year's fiscal deficit will mark a record, but fear not! Today's Democrat-led Congress has a plan to fix the reckless fiscal habits of the Republicans they replaced... by spending even more! Seriously, the House Appropriations Committee is considering a 2009 fiscal budget nearly 8% larger than this year's!

Runaway spending is a disease plaguing both parties today.

So, the fall of Republican Ted Stevens doesn't break the heart of this GOP-er because he's precisely the type of pork barrel piggy who needs to be replaced if our party is to return to its fiscal senses. The good news is, you can help improve Alaska's delegation even further-- by contributing to the primary challenger of the state's only Congressman, Don Young.

Why Young? Because he's the architect of the ultimate spending boondoggle, the infamous "bridge to nowhere." And his primary challenger, Lt. Governor Sean Parnell, will enter Congress as a spending reformer, one who has been edorsed by many prominent national Republican organizations--a rarity against a sitting GOP representative--including the Club for Growth. Good enough for me.

I contributed today and here's where you can, too. Don Young is also under investigation for corruption, but don't wait for the Justice Department to do what it did to help us with Stevens. Alaska's primary is August 26th; help Parnell unseat another runaway spender.

The spending orgy in D.C. has to stop.
