Apologize if there was any misinterpretation by the electorate.
The best example of that of Senator Mark Begich. His campaign was given bad information about his opponent and as soon as the campaign released the information it was proven to be a lie.
Go on offense. Vet everything stated about the opposition candidate and have a defense ready if attacked.
The best example of a man who can cause controversy is Mr. Michael Moore. Why is it controversy? Because he doesn't deceive people or present ambiguous information. All his facts are checked as closely as possible, he publishes his facts online when his documentary is released and he answers all the questions before they are even asked. I've never seen anything like his moral content. That is what vetting is. It is checking for moral content and not gotcha.

Elections should be aspiring to receive a Geppetto on all their talking points as well as POLICY which was voted on and/or voted against.
Be willing to call a flip-flop when it shows a change in direction after an election by incumbents. The elections of 2012 were extremely right wing for the Republicans and as soon as they took office they began to 'walk back' their campaign promises.
This according to the Huffington Post.
...In Alaska, the NRA gave Begich an A-minus rating and his Republican challenger Dan Sullivan an A-q. The "q'' means the grade is qualified because Sullivan has no voting record, NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said. Grades in those cases are based, in part, on answers provided in questionnaires. Sullivan, a former state attorney general and Natural Resources commissioner, is making his first run for public office....
Senator McConnell USED the current military actions against the Islamic State as a reason for voters to consider 'the more experienced candidate' to deal with such issues for the country.
Is that true? Are incumbents providing a safer USA?
Mitch McConnell has swung both ways on war. (click here) In private he asked "W" to decrease the number of troops in Iraq to help the elections of 2006. In public he was stating the Democrats were attacking national security if they downsized the military. The fact McConnell is known to use the Defense Department for his election purposes is more the reason for his statement than actually knowing what is best for the country.
This is proof that Republicans care little about effective policy so much as winning elections at the cost of the country and effective policy.

Indian Country has the ability to sway national, state, and local elections. American Indians and Alaska Natives make up 19.5% of the overall state population, and 16.9% of Alaskans who are 18 and over.

...Begich has introduced legislation (click here) that would raise tax revenue for the system by removing a provision that exempts income above $115,000 from Social Security taxes. Getting rid of the $115,000 cap would keep the program solvent through 2085.
Sullivan, meanwhile, hasn’t endorsed specific legislation but says he’d like to explore other options that include raising the age of eligibility for recipients or means testing, which could help keep Social Security afloat by cutting benefits for wealthier Americans....
Senator Begich should run on his policies. They are good policies. They are good for Alaska. He should drive home the way to fix SSI is relatively painless for the majority of Americans. He needs to also seek to include Native Americans in his election this year.Alaskan Native Americans (click here)
