On my
email letter about Sarah Palin
When it was
first announced that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin had been selected to be
John McCain's choice for Vice President, we received several emails from
fishing & hunting clients, asking, "Who is Sarah Palin." I merely
sat down and wrote an email and sent it off to a few who had inquired.
I had no idea that my email would circle the globe, reaching so many,
but I guess it did...... Gary Butch King
Who is Sarah Palin?
Many of our friends are asking us "Who is Sarah Palin?" Of course, as
Alaskans, Kathy and I are extremely proud of her. We just want to let
you know that Sarah "Barracuda" Palin is a straight shooting, hard
charging, get it done gal. She knows when to listen, how to analyze the
facts and how to make a decision, then implement the plan. She doesn't
do a poll before jumping in with both feet like too many of the
Washington types. She has little legislative experience because she has
always held the EXECUTIVE position; in private life, as mayor of
Anchorage 's largest bedroom community or more recently as Governor of
our State. She is a smart, attractive home grown Alaska girl with
excellent moral and family values. She can see what needs to be done and
does not hesitate to get it done.
One of our State's major problems is that its Capital is in Juneau, 500
miles from the nearest road and 800 air miles from the population base
which is Anchorage, Wasilla and Fairbanks. Our legislature and most of
the State government is in Juneau and they ALL behave like a bunch of
freshmen in a college town. It has been this way since Statehood in
1959. When Sarah moved to Juneau, so did accountability and
responsibility When the oil revenue started flowing and a barrel of
North Slope Crude hit $23.00, these people began spending money like
drunken sailors. You can only imagine what was happening when oil hit
$100.00 a barrel, about the time Sarah took command. My wife Kathy has
first-hand experience with this fiasco, as her father and also her
ex-husband were Alaska Legislators who served in Juneau as Senators,
Senate President, or members of the State House for a combined period
spanning nearly three decades.
About the time Sarah took the HELM as Governor of Alaska, about half of
the State legislature was in the pocket of big oil companies or
contractors doing big projects for Native Corporations around Alaska,
all funded by State oil revenue. Alaska government was nothing but a
good old boys club riding the perpetual wave of prosperity. This
filtered down from the legislature, through the Department of Natural
Resources, Department of Labor and even spilled in to the Public Safety
who are supposed to "preserve and protect".
When Sarah walked into the Governor's Mansion, she promptly dismissed
the State Trooper detachment assigned to Governor and had her and her
husband's gun case brought in from Wasilla. Then, she got rid of the
former Governor's STATE Jet and told legislators that there were no more
free rides, they would have to fly Alaska Airlines, just like her and
her family if they wanted to travel. Next came the nut cutting (the
Barracuda part) the heads that rolled were too numerous to name, but
when Sarah finished cleaning house, a number of our legislators ended up
in jail for on corruption charges, or tendered their resignations along
with numerous department heads and those who have been riding the gravy
train for way too long, AND THEN SHE HAD LUNCH. By the end of the day,
Sarah Palin had saved the people of Alaska millions and has not yet
slowed down.
She has truly brought CHANGE to Juneau. I personally know several
persons in the private sector in Alaska that hold her in high esteem.
She surrounds herself with smart people, many from my hometown of
Anchorage, she listens to them but makes her own decisions. Sarah Palin
is a no B.S. politician. It is refreshing that there is such a thing
anymore. You want to talk about CHANGE? You should see a before and
after picture of the State government in Alaska. That's CHANGE! Sarah
will bring a number of things to the election. I am sure she will appeal
to many voters who might otherwise have gone the other direction on
election day. The conservative block will not be for Barack. We have
their vote. We need what Sarah will bring, first to the election and
second, what she will bring to Washington D.C. McCain has been advised
well, Let's just hope the American people can get the straight scoop on
her in the weeks ahead. This is just the opinion of one Alaska Bush
Pilot and Guide, who pays attention to national politics, watches the
news and is deathly afraid of the direction our nation is headed. I
guarantee that if Sarah gets a chance to dig her spurs into the flanks
of the liberal Washington types, they will know that she is in the
saddle.
