In many parts of our nation the power supply is &lt;strong&gt;public &lt;/strong&gt;utility not a private enterprise. It's time for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Alaskans&lt;/span&gt; and the people of Juneau to take a step back and realize this is not just so in Juneau but across our nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In politics corporate lobbyists have immense influence in both parties both the Democrats and Republicans. For the first time in who knows how long the Democrats have out raised the Republicans in terms of corporate donors, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Obama&lt;/span&gt; himself is in the hands of the nuclear power giant &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Exelon&lt;/span&gt;. We must look under the surface of his thin skin of populism and realize he is another corporate Democrat in the garb of populism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With corporate abuse running rampant in Juneau we must look to a figure who long has held the rights of the consumer over that of the corporation. Ralph Nader has long stood up for consumer rights and the environment. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;AEL&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;P would not be able to act as they will with very little over sight if we did not have politicians in the hands of corporate boards and executives. In light of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;AEL&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;P scandal we must throw our support behind someone who will fight for our rights and not let private interests run our &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;necessities&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7758092049306176441-869199332206756603?l=spectablis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spectablis.blogspot.com/feeds/869199332206756603/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7758092049306176441&amp;postID=869199332206756603' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7758092049306176441/posts/default/869199332206756603'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7758092049306176441/posts/default/869199332206756603'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spectablis.blogspot.com/2008/05/corporatism-in-last-frontier.html' title='Corporatism in the Last Frontier'/><author><name>teehitan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16017758493522203544</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
