Alaskans sent men to Washington who have capitulated

It has become a common refrain around the world, “USA is no longer the leader of the free world.” Why? Because our leaders have become bitter, angry and vengeful in authoritarianism. They have waged battles with and mocked our allies. And we Alaskans are very much to blame. Because we sent men to Washington who have capitulated to this.

We have a senator that is self-serving, Sullivan, who pads his wallet with shares in farm-fished ventures. A congressman whose strongest act to date was to prop up Bitcoin, Begich, increasing his wealth and thanking us for allowing him to serve.

Sullivan and Begich have broken their oath, to their office and to the Constitution of the United States. Giving away or losing their powers of the purse. Giving away or losing their war powers. And due to these two losers of power, our country is a mess.

Campaigning, Sullivan and Begich told us: They would do away with “forever wars,” lower the cost of eggs, lower inflation, make housing affordable, give us cheaper health insurance, and make gasoline and diesel affordable. But these two losers of power have gotten us into what appears to be another “forever war” and driven the price of everything we need daily through the roof.

We Alaskans will continue to be just as responsible for this mess we're in, unless we vote these two losers of power out of office. Self-serving and Bitcoin, Sullivan and Begich, need to be voted away.
