Yep, it's confirmed. I'm a streetwalker. AND an honorary member of the LOONatics...........

(I like where I live.)
I don't expect replies and it's a little bit picture heavy. But DAMN I've got a great team. Bunch of damn hippies whose kids are in local colleges, universities, trade schools and whose kids are in the services, and those going to schools Outside. These "kids" yep - awesome. I think I'll name my high school heroes and heroines - and hell yeah every one of them will ROCK THE VOTE. My high school, 1972 grad, MALEMUTES; West Valley WOLF PACK; North Pole PATRIOTS; Eielson AFB RAVENS; THE University of Alaska NANOOKS; Hutchison Career Center HAWKS; Monroe Catholic High School RAMS. There's not a kid going to any one of these schools that will not ROCK THE VOTE. Not old enough to vote? Neither was I in 1972 - but I could help folks get registered.

Us damn Alaskans.......
My GOTV team...................LOL! Just as friggin' nuts as we were 40 years ago!!

Where I live is NOT an affluent area. So we got each other's back in earthquakes, floods, extreme cold, horrendous wildfires. When we got beat by Sarah about 2/3 of my "hood" quit voting, let registration lapse, etc. It wasn't transportation problems, it was "I give up because my vote didn't matter" disappointment and they miss Uncle Ted. And Bill Egan. And Tony Knowles. And Jay Hammond. And what's funny? Wally Hickel (Independent). (Yeah, I kept a sort of tally). I haven't heard a single person we encountered say a good thing about "the Quitter" (that was from a fellow who served in Korea). Ms Superpatriot Palin got about 45% of the state to just sigh and not go to the polls. Oh, I'm being mean......... she didn't grab her flag wrap.........

Bernie won the primary here............... GOTV!

NRA member and local shootist and all around great guy for a Republican - "Hillary has brass balls. We need that. We need intelligence and guts, not a buffoon."

Check out Byron Mallott - I wanted HIM for governor. He's lieutenant governor and really is SO much a great leader. First Alaska Native in that office. Says something. He's not just a politico..........




This is a damn weird state politically, as almost 70% of the population is in or near Anchorage and therefore "beholden" to Big Oil. We in other areas call it Las Anchorage............. (I know that's not nice, but neither is BP/Exxon/etc.........) LOL! Another reason to avoid it like you would black ice.

We all decided after a few beers and lots of laughs that we'd call our group loons - and yeah those neat birdies are all over here in the Interior.

This is a pretty bird. She is a common loon and oh, her voice is home to me.



AND HERE is a real LOON................ atic. She can't find her way out of a paper bag, let alone to the Blue Loon, the Marlin, Silver Gulch or the Howling Dog.





We're hopeful!!! It just may be loonatic you're looking for (spelling deliberate). And yeah, I know Joe Walsh hasn't got a thing to do with GOTV but it fits us crazies who wear out our sandals, sneakers, hiking boots, etc. to GOTV!



LETS TURN ALASKA AS BLUE AS OUR FLAG!!!




THANKS EVERYONE WHO GOTV AND ROCKS IT!!!
