Maybe it is time for Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) to retire. It is obvious to Alaskans and the rest of America that you lost touch with the people you are supposed to represent. How selfish and arrogant to hog the pork barrel funding for a bridge to no-where in Ketchikan, Alaska.

America has thousands of taxpaying citizens without homes and jobs that was lost in Hurricane Katrina and Rita. It is time for you to resign.

When Sen. Tom Coburn (Oklahoma) a fiscal conservative with a penchant for trimming pork barrel projects, took aim at the bridge money, Stevens exploded, he threatened to resign his post if he lost. Who cares if you resign with an attitude like that.

Lawmakers that are trying to smooth things over, don't cower to Ted Stevens; he puts his pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us. Senator Ted Stevens is wrong on the bridge issue. The right thing to do is take that money where it is needed to rebuild bridges and roads that were shattered by hurricanes regardless what the Senator thinks and that goes for Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) too. This is my own opinion.
