Is the Murkowski machine behind the Murkowski dynasty really powerful enough to force the number one rated talk show host in the state off the air on the Friday before the election?  As my newfound friend and supporter Sarah would say, you betcha!

Yes it is true former Channel Two news director John Tracy, with the backing of Murkowski’s campaign manager Kevin Sweeney, convinced KFQD general manager Dennis Bookey to take me off the air just four days before election day.

Bookey will join me on the show today to explain why he did what he did. Tune in to hear his thinking on the decision.

[…]The third party in all of this is Murkowski campaign manager Kevin Sweeney. Tracy admits checking with Sweeney and getting the green light before calling to force me off the air. Is it reasonable to assume Sweeney first checked with Murkowski before giving Tracy the okay? Yes. But we will never know for sure. What we do know is the move was a stupid one and will only hurt the Murkowski campaign.

Because the truth of the matter is what I and the 200 or so who signed up as Senate write-in candidates did is a good thing. The state decided to illegally assist Murkowski by printing a list of write in candidates and these protestors were not going to stand by and do nothing. They were determined to minimize the state’s effort to cheat on behalf of Murkowski. I would assume those throwing tea in Boston Harbor more than 200 years ago were criticized for being inappropriate. But these patriotic Americans filing to run for the Senate are proud to take the heat from the liberal elite class.

The state’s attempt to illegally hand out a write-in list to help Murkowski is the latest example of voters watching their government trample on the law and constitution. With Obama Care, bailouts, the illegal hiring of legislators, the building of a crime lab at five times what it should cost, voters are feeling hopeless, helpless, and without the ability to make a difference. They fear they have no option but to sit by as politicians waste trillions and mortgage our kid’s future.

When a caller on Thursday’s show suggested we fill that illegal write-in list with a bunch of names to minimize the state’s attempt to assist Murkowski, I thought it was a great idea. Once folks who registered started calling in, you could hear the enthusiasm in their voices. All of a sudden they were not helpless anymore. They stood up against a government out of control. They realized in this case, they could make a difference. It was inspiring.

It’s time as Alaskans and Americans we stand up to the elite class running our government and pandering to special interests at our expense. Thursday’s write in campaign was a start. Of course the media and liberals like John Tracy will throw a hissy fit and try to exert their power. But enough is enough! We must take our country back no matter how hard the fight, no matter how uphill the battle, no matter how long the struggle. Consider the alternative.
