You seem to be entirely missing the point! Palin is a GOVERNOR and thus has no ability to vote on any earmarks. Only Congress has that ability and guess who brought almost $1B (yes billion with a B) back to his state in less than one full term in the Senate --Obama. That is what we should be looking at.
That's why she hired a lobbyist to whisper in Sen. Steven's ear.
To you. However, if you listen to his speeches, he says no earmarks, he will stop the corruption of all earmarks. So your oysters will suffer along with the sick of Chicago.
LOTS of hospitals Chicago and only one of them gave the Manly Woman a HUGE raise. Oysters feed millions and they're in trouble, once they're gone well, they're gone.
As long as Sarah Stalin can get your arsters, comrade.
See, a practical statist has the privilege of cherrypicking their earmarks.
Nope, commercial watermen get the critters, gov't SHOULD be looking after one of the most bountiful bodies of water in the world. Earmarks can go into studies for reproduction of clams, oysters, crabs, rockfish, eel, flounder, sea trout, drum and a host of others. It would be a shame to see the largest tidal bay in the US to become a second "Dead Sea".
Not cherrypicking, applying tax dollars to benefit ALL who eat.
The Alaska seafood industry experienced another good year in 2006, extending a trend begun four
years ago. Total earnings and employment were some of the highest in recent years, and seafood
exports, which were worth two billion dollars, accounted for half of Alaska’s total export value. The
four billion pounds of seafood harvested in 2006 worth $1.4 billion to commercial fishermen was
slightly better than 2005’s harvest value of $1.3 billion and the highest value received since 1999.
This activity resulted in approximately 7,000 average monthly fish harvesting jobs with a peak summer
total workforce of over 20,000 jobs.
in fish alone, they also have lots and lots of gold...........black and mined in the LARGEST state. Besides, I like this show....... YouTube - Deadliest Catch Chesapeake Bay
