Alaskans – STOP THE RAID! In Juneau, politicians continue stalling, looting our savings accounts, and raiding the PFD for 6 years! Politicians continue to avoid their job to make a sustainable fiscal plan and protect the PFD and Fund. It is the will of the Alaska majority to pass a fair constitutional PFD and fix the fiscal problem without a regressive tax on the dividend. VOTE OUT RAIDERS IN 2022!

Ch. 2 News, March 2021

 

Permanent Fund Defenders are Founders, Advocates and All Alaskan residents defending their AK rights.  Residents who get the PFD are the guardians of our savings accounts, defending them from government mismanagement and looting.  Are you doing your part? 

Oct. 2019 interview on Ch 11 Frontiers on our goal of a constitutional PFD for Fund protection.

 

The PFD is still the “Third Rail of Alaska politics.” Pro-PFD bills in Juneau need your support to pass – Get involved!

Governor Walker’s support for PFD cuts was a big reason his approval rating crashed and he dropped out of the 2018 Governor’s race.  

Governor Dunleavy supports a constitutional PFD based on the original formula. The tide is turning toward protecting Alaskan’s shareholder rights and defending the Permanent Fund. Hold politicians accountable to pass this vote for PFD protection in 2020. Contact them now!

CLICK HERE TO DONATE THROUGH GOFUNDME Help us to support a statewide media campaign to inform Alaskans that the People own resource wealth and organize Alaskan voters to take action in 2020. We urge Alaskans to join forces to demand that politicians give Alaskans a public vote to protect the PFD with the current formula in the Alaska Constitution.  Thanks for doing your part!

In 2018 the Legislature passed  SB26… what does that mean? It means Legislators are not fixing problems and looking for easy ways to get money. They cut Alaskans’ PFD for 3 years and that is an unethical tax. The Permanent Fund and Dividend are in danger of more raids. Alaskan voters have stopped Legislators from changing the PFD law for the last three years. Politicians constantly tried to restructure the PFD in law. But they don’t follow the law anyway! So changes must be made government to secure the PFD and People’s rights. 

 

IT’S TIME TO DEMAND CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION FOR THE PFD OR IT WILL BE LOST!

Click this link for Sen. Wielechowski’s explanation on why we must protect the PFD in the AK Constitution:

 

The Permanent Fund Belongs to Alaskans

“The Permanent Fund comes from the oil owned by the State of Alaska. Like oil, the Fund belongs to the people of Alaska collectively. The Alaska Constitution (Article 8, Sec. 2) requires that all natural resources belonging to the state be used, developed and conserved for the maximum benefit of the people. In short, the Fund is a Constitutional right, not a gift bestowed by a generous government.” From An Alaskan’s Guide to the Permanent Fund (1998) by the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation.
