Sean Parnell vs. Don Young
When Sean Parnell first announced that he was challenging Don “Bridge to Nowhere” Young in Alaska’s GOP primary, few people in the ‘Lower 48′ knew much about. I suspect that most, like me, didn’t give him much of a chance. It now appears that Don Young is headed for an involuntary retirement. Check out this endorsement video from Sarah Palin:
Next check out this advertisement put together by the Club For Growth:
A new generation of politicians are climbing the ladder. Sarah Palin and Sean Parnell are prominent members of that new generation. Other members of this generation’s new leaders include Mike Pence, Jeb Hensarling, Eric Cantor and Michele Bachmann in the House, Tom Coburn, Jim DeMint and John Thune in the Senate, Gov. Palin in Alaska, Gov. Jindal in Louisiana and Gov. Pawlenty here in Minnesota.
It’s time for the GOP to start cleaning out the deadwood that’s accumulated in Washington, especially in the House. It’s time we started re-establishing the GOP brand. It’s long past time to start giving people reasons to trust us again.
Click this link to contribute to Sean Parnell’s campaign is a great way to start that transition. The best part is that we’d get rid of a parasite like Rep. Young and replace him with an idealistic, energetic conservative Sean Parnell.
Earlier tonight, I got an email from Pat Toomey of the Club For Growth talking about the Parnell-Young race. Here’s the content of that email:
A new poll done for Sean Parnell in his Alaska Republican primary race against the “Bridge to Nowhere” congressman, Don Young, shows Parnell with a four point lead, but the race is within the margin of error of the poll, so we must leave nothing to chance.
The election is now just 12 days away. Now is the last chance for you to have an impact.
Now is the last chance to get rid of Young, who recently voted with Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats to raise income taxes.
Now is the last chance to defeat Young, a three-time winner of Citizens Against Government Waste’s “Porker of the Month” award.
Now is the last chance to replace Young, who sided with the Democrats to override all three of President Bush’s vetoes of budget-busting bills last year.

Read what Don Young said to Republican budget cutters on the House floor last year: “This constant harping on this floor about cutting monies from other areas under the guise of balancing the budget, I say shame on you, too. I say shame on you because we are not doing the legislative process any good…And like I say, those that bite me will be bitten back.”
Don Young embodies what’s wrong with too many Republicans today. Fortunately, we have an excellent chance to replace him with economic conservative Sean Parnell.
If you usually only donate to help win elections in November, consider this. Every public poll done in the last two months shows Young loses in November if he is the Republican nominee. Parnell is the best candidate on economic issues and the best candidate for winning in November.
The most recent campaign reports show that Young’s #1 source of campaign funds comes from unions who love Don Young’s vote for the “card check” bill that would banish secret ballot elections to organize a union.

Sean Parnell is a different kind of politician. He is the polar opposite of Don Young in both philosophy and temperament.
Before Sean Parnell became lieutenant governor in 2006, he served two terms in the state House (1993-1996) and two terms in the state Senate (1997-2000), compiling a solid record as a fiscal conservative. During that time, he fought against several attempts to raise taxes and increase spending. Sean supports permanent repeal of the Death Tax, making the tax cuts permanent, curbing government spending and drilling for more oil and gas. Sean has also taken a pledge to oppose tax increases.
Along with Alaska’s extremely popular governor, Sarah Palin, Parnell is viewed as a reformer who wants to clean up Alaska’s image, making it free of corruption and pork-barrel abuses. When was the last time you heard someone call Don Young a reformer? Never. Please help Sean Parnell defeat Congressman Don Young in the August 26 Republican primary by making a donation to Sean’s campaign today.

Any Republican that (a) supports card check legislation and (b) requests earmarks at a rate that’s competitive with John Murtha must go. I’d call Don Young a RINO but that’d give RINOs a bad reputation. Don Young is simply a corrupt politician who has to go.
