First Post

Hello everyone, I recently moved to Northern Virginia from Palmer Alaska. Prior to moving I was Chair of the Matanuska Susitna Democrats. I enjoyed that position and met many good friends while I was chair.

There are many issues that currently confront Alaska. Some of those issues also affect the country. What to do about ANWR and all the leases that currently aren't being explored. Miining for gold close to waters that are rich in Salmon and vital to subsistance fishermen.

Alaska is also on the front lines of research into Global Warming. Many villages along the Alaskan coast are seeing the results as they are being battered by waves due to the loss of protective ice fields.

These issues as well as others will be discussed in this blog. So ensure your seat belts are fastened and your seats are in the upright position.
