Alaskans are fed up with being treated like an afterthought while our elected officials reward themselves with raises and mismanage the budget. The Permanent Fund Dividend was created to ensure that every Alaskan shares in the wealth of our natural resources—not to be siphoned off to cover political shortfalls. Meanwhile, schools are closing, community centers are shuttered, and families are struggling to afford heating fuel just to survive the winter. If budgeting a government is hard, try budgeting a household with no safety net. We demand accountability, transparency, and the restoration of the full PFD. It’s time our leaders remembered who they serve.
Schultz supported: Petition to Restore and Protect the Permanent Fund DividendMy father, Karl Hein, died bringing oil to Alaska. He also served during WW2 in Alaska.
He would be very angry today to see how Alaskans are having the oil revenues being stolen by a greedy government.
The PFD was set up for the people of Alaska. It is not for funding pet projects of politicians.
Give the money back.
Star supported: Petition to Restore and Protect the Permanent Fund DividendThe dividend is used for winter preparation for Alaskans. Taking from the money we have made through tourism and living should not be handled by greedy people that won’t even put the funds towards anything else besides their pockets. Schools need funding police departments need funding construction companies that work for the state need to be able to fix the roads and bridges ect that we use daily it is absolutely devastating to see the decline in our economy when the elites live their best lives. There are children that depend on those funds for school clothes and fees there are parents that are depending on that to help them make ends meet because school just started everyone had to spend 1000$ -5,000 on school supplies. Some families have 10 kids some have 1 the issue is that it needs to go back to where it’s supposed to go or something else needs to happen with whose in charge
Jennifer supported: Petition to Restore and Protect the Permanent Fund DividendI’m a working mother barely getting by and struggling this is unfair how is anyone supposed to get by when your raising a child we have been dealing with in inflation for thh last 4 yrs and other states are hearing the people and our state continues to make things worse. This is not right and heartbreaking.
Heather supported: Recall Washington Governor Bob Ferguson For His $9 Billion Tax HikeAm a 78 year old senior living alone. Just want to be able to stay in my home and not be taxed into homelessness
Karen supported: Recall Washington Governor Bob Ferguson For His $9 Billion Tax HikeBeing on a fixed income due to life changing injuries from a really bad car accident that was not my fault I pay the price for enough everyday now our state government wants to drown us in taxes even more then we are already paying. We can barely live as it is leave us poor people alone
Michelle supported: Recall Washington Governor Bob Ferguson For His $9 Billion Tax HikeI’m 31 years old, have a kid on the way and am looking to sell my house. Property tax increases over the last 5 years have made owning a home unaffordable. Adding a kid on top of that, my hands were forced. Getting rid of fraud and abuse is the only way to lower costs for Minnesotans. Adding money to an affordability issue only creates more unaffordability issues. Something needs to be done.
Jordan supported: Demand Governor Tim Walz Admin Resign in MinnesotaAs a young adult and small business owner- I am so sad to see the state and cities I once loved so much absolutely crumble and divide. No dream is possible anymore.
Alicia supported: Demand Governor Tim Walz Admin Resign in MinnesotaI’m a tax paying Minnesotan. I have a child on the spectrum and have been pushed back on waitlist after waitlist and now finding out they used that system to make all this happen enrages me.
