Dear Friend of the PFD, Attached below is a radio ad from Dr. Jack Hickel for the Permanent Fund Defenders, a non-profit educational group, working to save the PFD. This ad is playing now in Anchorage and YOU will determine how long it airs and how many Alaskans hear this urgent message. The PFD has been cut for the last 2 years without voter consent. This is the People's money, but politicians will continue to cut the PFD to use for government if Alaskans don't stop them. The only way to stop this them is by locking the PFD in the Alaska Constitution for protection. The problem is that politicians do not want to give Alaskans this vote - You must demand it! CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS NOW WITH EMAIL AND CALLS TO DEMAND THIS VOTE! The time is now to save the PFD. Here's what you can do. 1) Call & email your legislators and demand your vote to lock the PFD in the Alaska Constitution with the current law. No cuts! 2) Donate $20 or what you can afford to Permanent Fund Defenders to get this message out statewide in radio ads and alert Alaskans to take action now. Go to www.pfdak.com to donate and get more information. Donations will be used directly for ads and outreach. There is no paid staff or office. The donations are not tax-deductible. This is not a political group, there is no reporting with the APOC and no election involved. The Permanent Fund Defenders' Board includes Dr. Jack Hickel, Jim Crawford and Juanita Cassellius, volunteer members, and former Senators Clem Tillion and Rick Halford, Advisory members.
