Alaskans will vote on a crucial ballot measure on August 19 that cuts to the heart of the nation’s largest state that is teeming with oil and gas. Our state’s future and her destiny to help secure our nation is on the line. We must responsibly develop our natural resources for the betterment of all, to eliminate any need to buy foreign energy supplies, and to create more Alaskan jobs. Our upcoming vote dictates whether we operate under crony capitalism status quo, or we move forward to be energy secure.
