We Alaskans pride ourselves on our independence, preferring our way                                 
instead of blindly following outside practices.  I believe most Alaskans                            
are offended by the sleazy, gutless and inaccurate soft money ads now                               
blanketing our airwaves.  The Twenty-Second Alaska Legislature had                                  
an opportunity to set high standards for Alaska political campaigns. It                             
failed.  By vetoing this bill, I am giving a future Legislature the                                 
opportunity to do it right.
