Dear Legislator,

A number of committees have or are calling Mr. Jason Brune to testify regarding his appointment to the position of Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation.

AlaskaYes strongly opposes that appointment.

Mr. Brunes history as a paid employee and representative of the Pebble Mine Partnership alone makes his appointment distasteful to the 61% of Alaska residents, who do not support the Pebble Mine Partnership.

Mr. Brune looked representatives in the eye during a recent hearing and said he had not made up his mind on the project.  That was a direct mistruth.  Brune spent years as a representative of the Pebble Partnership telling the media, the state, the public and all who would listen, the Pebble mine was a great thing and should proceed.

It is one lie too many for this sensitive position.

Without honesty there is no integrity.  Without integrity and honesty there is no place for Mr. Brune in the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.

Please keep in mind, that 61% of Alaskans, are against the Pebble mine and for Alaska. Those are the same people who will be casting ballots in the next election cycle.  Your decision and vote will be noticed.

On behalf of over 420,000 Alaskan citizens we encourage you to vote NO on all calls for votes for the appointment of Mr. Jason Brune as Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation.

Thank you,

Mary Sharp
