Alaska “Big Tent” May Decide Key US Senate Election

United for Liberty chairman, Michael Chambers announced today the first debate for Alaskan’s general election campaign between Republican Dan Sullivan, and Democrat Mark Begich on Wednesday, August 27th. This debate will be held at the Wendy Williamson Auditorium on UAA Campus from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. We encourage everyone to come early as this event may fill up quickly.

“United for Liberty is the big tent that has pulled most of the smaller organizations like Anchorage Tea Party, Alaska Independence Party, The Alaska Constitution Party, the Alaska Libertarian Party, and other non partisans and independent affiliations,” said Chambers.

“We’ve seen both Republican and Democrat politicians harm this country, and by pulling the 57% of Alaskans who are neither Republican nor Democrat into our big tent, we’ve become the “swing vote” that may decide this election…which can decide control of the United States Senate,” said Chambers.

“Six years ago Mark Begich won because one of our affiliate candidates, Bob Bird, took 12,000 votes which may have gone to the Republican, and gave the election to Begich. Today, with 20 partner organizations, and over 100,000 email connections, we can bypass the mainstream media, and our partners can talk to each other directly. This will be our second US Senate debate…the first for the general election. We will print our next newsletter with articles and contributions weighing in on this debate…who to vote for. You can access our current and future newsletters at: www.uflalaska.com

We’ve offered to meet with the candidates in a closed room and explain our positions, and find out which candidate can best promote the liberty/freedom/limited government agenda. In the time ahead our members will make up their minds…which could decide this election.”

This election has the notice of the big money from the East Coast, attracting tens of millions of out of state dollars to influence the election. “It is relatively inexpensive to buy a seat in the US Senate in Alaska,” said Chambers, “and the importance of this pivotal seat is not lost on the Washington insiders.”

“So far we don’t represent the majority of Alaskans, but our numbers make us the biggest minority, which gives us the numbers to determine the outcome of elections, and push candidates to address “good government” issues,” said Chambers. It is our relationships and building coalitions of trust with our group members which makes us unique on the political landscape. In addition, Michael Chambers is also the chairman the Alaska Libertarian Party.
