The Deadline To Register To Vote In The November 3 Presidential Election is October 4. Which Team Are You On? While most people are already registered to vote, and expecting to vote their mail in ballots the first and second weeks of October, many people do not vote. This year, there are some extra reasons to pay atention to things, and to vote. Leading one team is Donald Trump. He is supported by "Republican Nominees" on your ballot. We can refer to this team as the red team. The other team is led by Joe Biden. He is supported by "Democratic Nominees" on your ballot. We can refer to this team as the blue team. How have Republicans characterized their team leader, Mr. Trump? Lindsey Graham, a well known senior Senator, has accurately stated that Mr. Trump is a "race-baiting xenophobic religious bigot." (Mr. Graham and our own Dan Sullivan are going to rush another Catholic Supreme Court nominee onto our Supreme Court very shortly. Not so good if you have an interest in things like health care for your family, or basic health care for women. And rather than even try to fix things, team red has a case before the Supreme Court this November to kil the affordable care act, in the middle of our viral pandemic. Milions of Americans lose coverage, and especially coverage for preexisting conditions. Team red is not the healthcare team. More reasons to vote this year.) Other Republicans have also noted that Mr. Trump does not have the experience, character, or patience to listen to others. This is also self-evident. Especially scientists teling him to have people simply use masks, as they do in other countries, to dramatically cut the spread of COVID-19 to limit its damage to citizens and economies. Mr. Trump is not a competent leader. The comments from Republicans have been supported by very senior military leadership, such as General James Mattis. As our Secretary of Defense, General Mattis had ample opportunity to observe and work with Mr. Trump. General Mattis stated that Mr. Trump does not try to unite Americans, rather, Mr. Trump actively tries to divide Americans against each other. (Part of that race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot observation by Senator Graham.). General Mattis also stated that "we are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. " These types of statements from senior level military leaders are, fortunately, very rare. Mr. Trump's low attention level, his narcissism and his constant demand for admiration, are not appropriate for our presidents or our commanders-in-chief. Even more conceming is that senior American intelligence officials, including Dan Coats, have warned Americans that Russian agents are again rigging the election for team Trump. So team red for Republicans is accurate. The election is rigged. It is rigged for them. Not good for the rest of us. Certainly not good for our military. Mr. Trump has also referred to those in our military as losers and suckers, especially if they were captured or injured. He does not want to be seen with wounded veterans. Team blue is everything team red is not. Mr. Biden respects those who have served, and who are serving, and who will serve in our military. He does not seek to alenate wounded vets. He does not say he does not want to be seen with them. Mr. Biden is not trying to divide Americans. He is trying to unite Americans. Mr. Biden will follow recommendations of experts to deal with COVID-19 to reduce spread and to them get our country back to work. Mr. Biden and team blue are the only team which is going to focus on healthcare solutions for Americans. They will bring costs down by stopping massive overpayments to certain sectors of our healthcare system. Mr. Biden and team blue will not rig elections with foreign or domestic actors seeking to subvert our democracy. Team blue respects our constitution, and its rights and values. Mr. Biden and team blue will welcome our free press back to its usual role of protecting Americans from traud, corruption, and etforts to hide the truth from Americans. Including examination of Mr. Trump's tax retums, and financial matters, which team red has actively kept trom Americans. Mr. Trump's hundreds of milions of dollars of debt to unknown people, groups, and/or countries puts America and its troops at risk in so many different ways. Between these two choices, things are very easy this year. But you have to vote. You cannot sit on the sidelines and complain, or say you don't like any politician. A lot of people fought and died in wars to give you the right to protect our constitution. That includes paying attention to details and voting. You cannot listen to the routine, constant stream of tv ads and antisocial media such as Facebook and Instagram messages, attacking blue team members with photos of Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, outsiders/socialists/communists/antifa or puppy or kiten killer (maybe those are coming too) nonsense. When these types of "whistle" messages appear from team red, think again of Senator Graham's honest characterization of Mr. Trump as a race baiting xenophobic religious bigot. And think of Mr. Trump's statement about those who have served in our military as losers and suckers. And, most importantly as you read or hear the evasive messages for team red, and against team blue, remember what General Mattis and DNI head Dan Coats, and many others have said about tear and divide our country, and is receiving help again from Russian agents. For these reasons alone, team red members do not deserve your vote. Team red is actively trying to deceiv Easy to vote for team blue it you pay attention to details. This includes the lack of specific details in team red messages. An example would be in the tv ads and other messages trying to get you to continue giving your Prudhoe Bay oil wealth away to ConocoPhillips and Exxon.

At $68 oil in 2009, we received $2.9 bilion in production revenue. At $69 oil in 2019, we only received $500 milion, In 2010, at $75 oil, we received $2.6 billion in production revenue. In 2015, at $72 oil, we lost S200 million, because of SB 21's much lower production tax rate, and SB 21s credit system. Goodbye savings and a full PFD. Voting Will Be Very Important This Year Piease make sure you and your friends and family are registered to vote. Request absentee ballots. Follow the instructions on them carefully, so your votes count. Know how you are going to vote before you receive your ballot this October. This economic disaster from SB 21 has been with us since 2015. It has nothing to do with Covid-19 or the price of oil. It will continue after Covid-19 is history-unless Alaskans vote "Yes on 1" this fall. SB 21 was self-inflicted, by having the legislature trust Exxon and ConocoPhillips. We know the consequences now. Many of us knew the consequences then. We cannot undo the past damage to PFD's, to education, to teachers, to the revenue loss, and spending $17 billion of our savings. We can only look to the future. The remedy. wonderfully, is also our choice, by voting "Yes on 1, Ballot Measure One this fall." Be vigilant, and protect our joint interests in our legacy field production revenue. Thanks for reading, going to your website, alaskasfairshare.com and paying attention to "the merits," rather than irrelevant and deceptive messages, paid for by companies who want to keep our oil "low cost" and below fair value. And, thanks for donating, and for voting "Yes on 1". Dave Carter Retired Attorney Anchorage 907-349-4980. f you have questions, call.
