Restore the Constitution
Take Back the Nation
I am a Christian, Constitutionalist, conservative.
Of course, I am supporting Constitution Party write-in candidate Chad Koppie for the U.S. Senate for Illinois. Chad is the only pro-life candidate running for the Senate in Illinois.

I am also supporting Darryl Glenn the Republican Party U. S. Senate Candidate for Colorado. He is the Republican conservative pro-life Senate candidate.

This evening, a third conservative pro-life Senate candidate who is running for the U. S. Senate as the Libertarian candidate for Alaska. This is the first time I have ever supported a Libertarian candidate. It all has to do with Alaskan politics.
In the 2010 off year elections, the Tea Party movement for the first time supported conservative Tea Party oriented candidates for federal office running a number of conservative candidates against establishment, liberal, RINO (Republican In Name Only) Republican incumbents and challengers in Republican primaries. Alaska was one of those primaries. Joe Miller was the Tea Party supported conservative candidate running against extremely liberal incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski. Joe Miller pulled off a stunning and surprising primary victory. Most States do not allow defeated primary candidates to run in the general election as a write-in candidate. Alaska does. Lisa Murkowski ran as a write-in candidate and won with major support from Democrat voters who decided they would rather have a liberal Republican win the election than a conservative Tea Party supported candidate.
This is from Joe Miller’s blog written in 2011:
http://joemiller.us/2011/07/joes-blog-ruling-class-tyranny/
“If you’re like me, you’re terribly concerned about the direction of our nation. Whether it’s impending national bankruptcy, eroding personal liberties, or the incessant attacks against the traditional family, the bedrock of civilization, it seems everything is falling apart.
So what do we do? We throw everything aside and immerse our efforts and finances into democratic change. We identify elected leaders that are co-conspirators in our national destruction and target them for defeat. We work day and night, shoulder-to-shoulder with other grassroots activists to upend the establishment with constitutional conservatives.
Sometimes, these Tea Party insurgencies elect patriots to office. Other times, the reform movement loses a race but manages, in the process, to drive the dark, bipartisan forces controlling much of our political processes into the light. When that happens, we have the exceptional opportunity to discover answers to why the U.S. political system, no matter the party controlling the White House or Congress, continues to move us in the same direction [One reason is the lack of competition within the political realm. The two major parties deliberately make it difficult for third parties to get on the ballot. Neither of the two major parties want competition within their respective parties or outside of their respective parties.]
A great example is my 2010 US Senate race where the NTSC [National Republican Senatorial Committee], under Senator John Cornyn’s [The senior Senator from Texas who, at one time, was a conservative stalwart but sold out to be a part of the Republican leadership. He is now the number two Republican in the Senate. Conservatives in Texas, that I hear from, are very upset with him!] leadership, raised literally hundreds of thousands of dollars under my banner but then promptly spent the money attacking Democratic candidate Scott McAdams, knowing full well that every vote peeled from ultra-liberal McAdams would go to almost-as-liberal Murkowski. The end result? McAdams’ candidacy collapsed to the direct benefit of Murkowski.
All along Senator Cornyn falsely promised to do everything possible to ensure my victory. But he recently ‘insisted’ in an interview with Politico that ‘the NRSC ‘did not go after [Murkowski]’ last cycle, since it stayed away from direct attacks on her campaign.’ He concluded that the 2010 race ‘turned out well. It had a happy ending.’
Senator Cornyn is part of the Ruling Class that intended to perpetuate the membership of his colleague, Lisa Murkowski. Both Cornyn and Murkowski embrace the model of government that we’ve grown accustomed to in DC: ever-expanding bureaucracies, a federal government that knows no constitutional limits. I explicitly threatened this model, having the gall to suggest that the Constitution be followed as it was intended.
[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Murkowski
“(Lisa Murkowski) is the daughter of former U.S. Senator and Governor of Alaska Frank Murkowski.”
“Murkowski was appointed to the U.S. Senate by her father, Frank Murkowski, who resigned his seat in December 2002 to become the Governor of Alaska [Can anyone say nepotism?]. She completed her father’s unexpired term which ended in January 2005. She ran for and won a full term in 2004.”
She ran for a second term in 2010. She lost the Republican Party nomination to Tea Party candidate Joe Miller. She then ran as a write-in candidate and defeated both Miller and Democrat Scott McAdams in the general election, making her the first senator to be elected by write-in vote since Strom Thurmond in 1954, and only the second in U.S. history [It was good having her father’s political machine and the establishment Republican national party backing her!].”
What’s the solution? Understand that compromise is killing the country and that your 2012 vote [in every election year] can only be cast for constitutional conservatives who embrace the Founders’ vision of limited government.”

“USA—(Ammoland.com) ‘Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is proud to endorse Joe Miller to represent the state of Alaska in the U.S. Senate,’ an email from GOA announced Friday. ‘Joe Miller’s commitment to the right to keep and bear arms is unwavering … Unlike other candidates in this race, Joe Miller returned his GOA Candidate Questionnaire 100% in favor of your gun rights.’
The main ‘other candidate’ to be concerned about is Republican Lisa Murkowski, recipient of a mediocre “C” rating from GOA based on performance in office. That assessment comes from a scorecard for votes and concludes Murkowski only agreed with GOA’s positions 69% of the time.
Among the reasons for Murkowski’s low score: She did not vote on a concealed carry reciprocity bill they supported. She voted for a bill that would ‘create an incremental path to citizenship for most illegal immigrants in the country [For amnesty for illegal aliens!].’ She voted for an amendment that ‘would send a person to prison for 15 years for selling a gun to a veteran, without realizing that he was one of the 165,000 military veterans who was put into the NICS [National Instant Criminal Background Check System] system for PTSD [Posttraumatic stress disorder].’ And she voted for cloture [to bring the issue to the floor of the Senate for a vote. It takes 60 votes to reach cloture. RINO Republicans vote for cloture knowing that the candidate can get a majority vote to be confirmed.] on the nomination of a rabidly anti-gun New York judge to the DC Court of Appeals [who was then confirmed by a majority vote].
Importantly, and of vital interest to all advocates of the right to keep and bear arms, Murkowski is rated “D” by immigration group Numbers USA, further compounded by failing marks on the all-important categories of ‘Oppose Amnesty … Limit Unnecessary Worker Visas [and] Reduce Total Immigration.’ That’s of vital interest to defending the Second Amendment as evidenced by the Democrat Party’s, the Obama administration’s and the Hillary Clinton campaign’s push for a ‘pathway to citizenship.’
They know from all credible polls as well as real-world voting patterns—undeniably established in places like California—that adding millions of foreigners to the electorate will result in a Democrat supermajority that will then be able to enact all the ‘gun laws’ Bloomberg and Feinstein want, and more. It will also ensure they can confirm federal judges to the lower courts and the Supreme Court to uphold those laws.
Joe Miller understands this, evidenced by Numbers USA giving him a perfect score and hailing him as a ‘true reform candidate’ when he beat Murkowski in the Republican primary in 2010 (she went on to win through a write-in campaign).
This time around, Miller is running as a Libertarian Party candidate. While some may question how that comports with the national LP’s essentially open borders platform (one that will ensure a ‘progressive’ political takeover via ‘birthright citizenship’), the Alaska LP requires no such culturally-suicidal commitment.
No less a prominent libertarian figure than Murray Rothbard reconsidered his earlier assumptions and became opposed to the idea of ‘free immigration’ in his later years. Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. has provided compelling documentation to demonstrate ‘Open Borders Are an Assault on Private Property,’ and that ‘politically enforced multiculturalism has an exceptionally poor track record. The twentieth century affords failure after predictable failure.’
So Joe Miller’s position is, in fact, the correct libertarian one to have. And as such, it’s no surprise that he is not voting for LP presidential candidate Gary Johnson and his RKBA [Right to Keep and Bear Arms]-challenged running mate, William Weld.
One important question remains unanswered at this writing: Will NRA once more go the “safe” establishment route and endorse incumbent Murkowski as it did in 2010 [The NRA is a one issue organization which has a record of supporting incumbents over challengers. The organization gave money to Harry Reid the last time he ran!]? Will Fairfax continue showing indefensible deliberate indifference to the immigration threat to gun owner rights? If they do, will Wayne LaPierre or Chris Cox explain how the new voter surge facilitated by Murkowski policies will not create unbeatable Democrat majorities (with credible poll numbers to back that up)?

September 16, 2016/by Randy Desoto
“The Alaska Republican Central Committee voted over the weekend to remove one of its members due to his decision to back newly-minted Libertarian U.S. senate candidate Joe Miller instead of the state’s moderate GOP incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski, while other members chose to resign to support the insurgent candidacy.
As reported by Western Journalism, Miller was the 2010 GOP nominee who defeated Murkowski in perhaps the biggest upset in the 2010 federal election cycle, running as ‘Alaska’s True Conservative Choice.’
Then, as now, Murkowski had the most liberal voting record of any Republican up for re-election. During the last session of Congress, the senator voted with President Obama and the Democrats 72 percent of time, second only to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
As in 2010, incredulously Murkowski branded herself as a conservative [Of course! RINO Republicans believe the electorate doesn’t know any better! Too often, the electorate proves them correct!] (‘The Conservative Voice For Alaska’) during this year’s Republican primary in which she faced no challenger with statewide name identification. She easily prevailed in an election with the lowest voter turnout in recent history.
The senator looked like she was on her way to an easy re-election in the red state until last week, when Miller accepted the Alaska Libertarian’s Party’s invitation to replace its candidate, who had chosen to end her bid.
Alaska GOP party chair Tuckerman Babcock knew Miller’s entry into the race was going to draw support from members of his party’s top leadership and called on any who wanted to back Miller to do the ‘honorable’ thing and resign [Did the Republicans who supported Lisa Murkowski’s write-in campaign in 2010 step down?].
Dave Bronson, one of Anchorage’s district chairs, did not believe he should have to step down just because he wanted to support Miller—whose positions align with the state party’s pro-life, pro-family, pro-limited constitutional government platform—instead of getting behind a [RINO] ‘Republican’ senator whose votes do not.
Rather than resign, he put the issue up for vote at a central committee meeting last Saturday. Speaking before the body, he said ‘I am standing here before you because I am done with turning a blind eye to a Republican senator from Alaska who rejects our values and then expects our support every six years [Good for him!].’
Bronson, who serves as a board member of the Alaska Family Council, highlighted Murkowski’s claim to support traditional marriage during the 2010 election, then coming out not long afterwards in support of same-sex marriage. He also noted her vote to fund Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood], even after the undercover videos revealed the organization was apparently guilty of selling aborted babies’ body parts.
He stated, based on Murkowski’s voting record and decision to run as an independent in 2010 against the Republican Party nominee, he does not doubt she would switch to being Democrat, if she calculated it would keep her in office [Of course she would!].
‘Disciplining me is the right thing to do,’ Bronson conceded though wanting to keep his seat. ‘I openly supported that candidate for the US Senate who best reflected the principles of the Alaska Republican Party. It just happened to not be Lisa Murkowski.’
Reportedly, Bronson received hearty applause when he concluded his remarks from a significant portion of the audience with many rising to their feet to show their approval [Isn’t it amazing how many in the Republican Party choose party over principle!]. However, the members of the Central Committee present voted 36 to 23 to remove him.
Four other district chairs and one member of the Rules Committee, to date, chose to resign their positions to openly back Miller, while others reputedly plan to do so privately because they do not want to lose their seats.
Shannon Connelly of Palmer (about 40 miles north of Anchorage), who was vice president of the Mat-Su Valley Republican Women until this weekend and a district chair, is another who decided to step down. She told Alaska Public Radio that, in Miller, she has a candidate, ‘who is pro-life, which is a major thing for me,’ adding, ‘I thought I can’t just sit back. I have to stand for what I believe in [Principle over Party!].’
The Alaska Right to Life endorsed Miller two days after he announced his candidacy.
In a release earlier this week, the group shot down the notion that Murkowski is ‘pro-life’ as a campaign spokesman claimed and then was forced to walk back, noting Murkowski received an 80 percent NARAL [National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League] Pro-Choice America score in 2014, in contrast to most GOP senators (like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and even John McCain), who received a score of zero.
In an unprecedented move, the Alaska Republican Assembly (which has described itself as the Ronald Reagan wing of the GOP) endorsed Miller this week.
Like Connelly, Ron Johnson, a member of the assembly, chose to resign as a Mat-Su Valley district chair this past weekend to back Miller.
He told Western Journalism, ‘This allows me to work for a candidate that holds Republican values. I’m a Republican because of the party platform, not because of the party. Many of us are.’
Johnson explained one of the reasons he decided to run for district chair was in response to how the Republican party failed to get behind Miller’s candidacy in 2010 after he defeated Murkowski.
The senator waged a write-in campaign narrowly defeating Miller in a three-way race, 39 to 35 percent, with the Democrat garnering 23 percent of the vote. Between her and her father, a Murkowski has held the seat since 1981. This year’s contest pits four candidates against each other: Murkowski, Miller, a left-leaning independent, and a Democrat.
Amy Demboski, a district secretary in Anchorage, is supporting Miller. She said party Vice Chair Rick Whitbeck threatened to remove her until she pointed out the Alaska GOP rules specifically state that only those who hold district chair positions or above are prohibited from publicly supporting anyone other than the nominee.
‘Like many Alaskans, I don’t do well with intimidation and threats,’ she said, and the GOP leadership backed off.
Demboski, who is a radio talk show host in the Anchorage/Mat-Su Valley area and was the Republican nominee for mayor of the city last year, affirmed Johnson’s observation that the state party did not appear to back Miller in 2010 [And they did NOT resign!]. Further, it was her sense that then-chairman Randy Ruedrich and others in leadership actively worked against him behind the scenes, while supporting Murkowski [“Do as I say not as I do” says the Republican leadership!].
Demboski could not help but note the irony of the GOP’s loyalty test for Murkowski in 2016 in light of 2010, and pointed out the senator’s co-chair in that race was current Democrat Lt. Governor Byron Mallott.
‘Nobody is talking about [it] and the party is pretending it did not happen,’ she said.
Miller enjoys the support of not only Demboski, who is Donald Trump’s co-chair in Alaska, but also Bill Keller of the Kenai Peninsula, who was Senator Ted Cruz’s co-chair (along with Demboski and others) during the Republican presidential primary. Cruz won the primary with 36 percent of the vote to Trump’s 33.5 percent.
Keller said people ‘have been really grumbling about Murkowski’ since the 2010 race. Like other prominent GOP members in the Last Frontier backing Miller, he cites Murkowski’s liberal voting record as the main reason he will not support her.
Alaskans appear in for a spirited contest to see who will represent them in the U.S. senate in January. A district chair, who voted against Bronson’s removal, told Western Journalism that Miller’s entry in the race creates the rematch people have waited six years to see.

“Citizens for Joe Miller Press Release
September 13, 2016, Anchorage, Alaska
Senator Lisa Murkowski, who has a long record of support for abortion ‘rights [There is no “right” to murder your own unborn child and, in fact, the U. S. Constitution specifically protects life!]’ and federal funding for Planned Parenthood, is apparently pushing the line that she is, and has been, a pro-life senator. Alaska Dispatch News reported on Monday that the Incumbent Senator’s spokesman said Murkowski ‘remains pro-life [An absolute LIE!].’
‘This is typical Murkowski, but a staggering assertion nonetheless,’ said Joe Miller. ‘It’s a clear indication that the Murkowski campaign is in a panic over the loss of Republican support. But it also poignantly illustrates that Alaskans can’t trust anything she says. It’s all politics all the time. She has no principles.’
Early in her tenure in the US Senate, Murkowski voted for a Sense of the Senate Amendment that affirmed [When the Democrats controlled the Senate!]:
‘It is the sense of the Senate that—(1) the decision of the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade was appropriate and secures an important constitutional right [Wrong then and wrong now! The Roe decision was unconstitutional then and is unconstitutional now!]; and (2) such decision should not be overturned [Congress should rule it null and void by law! It is not the law of the land! It does not establish a right! It is not legal! It is not constitutional! It is government sanctioned murder!].’
Murkowski has consistently stood in opposition to Ronald Reagan’s ‘Mexico City Policy [President Obama reversed it within about two weeks of taking office!],’ which bans taxpayer dollars from flowing to foreign non-governmental organizations that perform or promote abortion.
The Senator has also been a strong advocate for federal funding of the nation’s leading abortion provider, Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood].
But that’s not all, she has even defended Roe v. Wade on the Alaskan airwaves [Defended the indefensible] and accused Republicans of a ‘War on Women [It is Democrats who support and promote murdering females in the womb not most Republicans. She is a RINO!].’
During the last session of Congress, Murkowski received an 80 percent rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America, while her Republican colleagues like Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and even Senator John McCain, R-Arizona, earned a 0 percent.
There’s a reason Alaska Right to Life declined to endorse Murkowski during her 2004 run against Tony Knowles, and has subsequently backed Joe Miller.
But now that she’s in a tough re-election fight she’s throwing her liberal allies under the bus, and trying to pull the wool over the eyes of pro-life Republicans. It’s not going to work.
Miller concluded, ‘Lisa Murkowski is a creature of Washington who governs one way and talks another. I think Alaskans are getting wise to the fact that she is playing both sides, but loyal to neither. As we saw in 2010, she’ll do or say anything she thinks will get her the desired political outcome—which is of course re-election.’
Joe Miller is a limited government Constitutionalist who believes government exists to protect our liberties, not to take them away. He supports free people, free markets, federalism, the right to life, religious liberty, American sovereignty, and a strong national defense.”
