• For furthering the backlogs facing the municipal court systems of Alaska by disputing a lawsuit to obtain you employment records with the Alaskan North Star Council where you by your own admission were discharged for impropriety.  For your further suit against the North Star Council seeking monetary recompense for their release of public records concerning your tenure as council.
• For you furthering employment to the disadvantaged in Alaska by hiring an unlicensed security firm to breach the laws laid down in the First Amendment of the Constitution concerning freedom of the press and arresting a bonafide journalist for asking you "difficult questions" after you stated you would no longer answer personal questions.
• For your equating the United States immigration problem to that of communist Germany and advocating the same solutions that were effected by the Berlin Wall as a solution.
