Since the Supreme Court decided that Corporations are people with even more rights than an individual, as they can donate unlimited money, while we as individuals are limited, I find it more difficult to separate glossy spin from the truth.

This latest flyer I received in the mail telling us to vote no on prop 2 with these soundbites seem like good reasons to vote against this measure. Then I read the fine print and see the "Top contributors to vote against prop 2 are Alaska Miners Assn., Conoco Philips, and Shell Oil." I honestly don't believe these are Corporations/people that have my best interest in mind. If I owned a large block of these stocks, I would probably feel different.

But I am convinced a vote "Yes" for prop 2 is in the best interest of the average Alaskan.

VOTE YES for Prop 2.
