Don Young's Congressional staff members are pedaling fast to cover for him. He is either way too pompous and self-righteous, or slipping mentally — the effect is the same. He should be out of office.
In the past six months he has failed to show up to vote timely; grabbed a Congressional staffer's arm and twisted it (publicly on TV) when the staffer told him the committee was voting and Young was too late to enter — pushing the staffer to get by; and stuck his tongue out, with thumbs in ears flapping his fingers. Now, he tells high school students whose dear friend committed suicide it is their fault or the family's — for not caring enough.
Young didn't care enough to be at his dying wife's side, instead went hunting in Africa. He didn't care enough to be in Alaska, instead running to Florida and elsewhere panting after large corporate donations.
Time to vote him out.
Forrest Dunbar, life-long Alaskan is the best candidate for U.S. Congress from Alaska.
