Letter: Tearing apart the Republican majority

Like a lame caribou being culled from the herd by a pack of wolves, U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski has been singled out by the Democrats/Labor Unions. Their aggressive campaign to tear apart the Republican majority in Congress has found willing support from Murkowski on the DeVos nomination. Without a strong majority, government hindered projects like ANWR will never become reality. If this is Murkowski’s goal, why is she allowed to continue calling herself a Republican? If the caribou herd is ever going to arrive in ANWR it must remain strong and united. Anyone else remember “United We Stand, Divided We Fall?”
