Now is the time for all Alaskans to come together and reach out with our core message of taking power from the federal government and bringing it back home to the people.
But again, you know, the views that we've expressed are transferring power back from the federal government to the states, giving Alaska an incredible opportunity to expand its economy, especially at a time when our federal government is coming close to bankruptcy. So that is a broad-based appeal. It's not an extreme view.
What is good for Alaska is good for the country. Transferring power from the federal government to the states provides opportunity to all states, not just Alaska.

It is about changing our behaviour and mindset to reduce power and water consumption, thereby helping to control emissions and pollution levels.
People need to realise that their governments are sitting on finite resources that will run out one day. Subsidising power and water is not an ideal solution and does not help reduce consumption.

All our wealth and all our export power has also come by the fact that other nations were willing to see us. This is very important.

In politics, my role model would be a very weird one - our second emperor, Pedro the Second. He was a person with no vanity. He cared a lot about the public interest.
