Freedom comes from strength and self-reliance.

We need to face it, as a nation we have a reliance on petroleum.

I have never once asked Alaskans to like how I got this job.

Freedom comes from strength and self-reliance.

The war against terrorism is one we must win.

There are many outsiders that actively try to halt every natural resource development project in Alaska. Many of these same people have never even been to Alaska, yet they claim to know what's best for us.

A lot of the basic research that helped us figure out fracking came from the federal government.

Alaskans deserve a fighter in the United States Senate who will always stand up for Alaska, who understands our great potential, who has the experience, respect and seniority to accomplish that. I am that senator.

Alaskans need some certainty and clarity over how the Pebble Partnership intends to proceed. I understand the complexity of a project like this, and I appreciate the investments that have been made in Alaska already. But a reliable timeline has been missing, and I hope that the companies will provide one soon.

America's neighbors are not drilling for fun or for sport; they've chosen to proceed to create new jobs, generate new revenues, and increase the energy supply and prosperity of their citizens.

Any efforts or opportunity to expand the civil bonds and rights to anyone that wants to build a stable, happy household should be promoted.

For eight years, I've served on the Indian Affairs committee, two years as the ranking member. I've been on that committee since Day One. I will stay on the committee for as long as I'm in the Senate because of my commitment to making a difference for Alaska Natives.

From 2002-2008, Planned Parenthood received $342 million in federal taxpayer money through Title X funding alone. With these funds, Planned Parenthood has provided women throughout the U.S. with important family planning and contraceptive services as well as screening for breast and cervical cancers for low-income women.

I am not here as my party's nominee. I am unique among the 100 senators in that regard.

I am not looking for a pound of flesh from Sally Jewell.

I am not one of those who wants Obama to fail. If he does well, that means the country's doing well.

I am still a Republican. I have not changed that.

I am working for Alaska's best interests.

I believe it is important that Title X organizations continue to receive funding.

I believe that, as Americans, our freedoms come from God and not government, and include the rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I believe when there are so many forces pulling our society apart, we need more commitment to marriage, not less.

I did not believe and I do not believe that Planned Parenthood should be defunded.

I do believe that Planned Parenthood provides vital services to those in need and disagree with its funding cuts contained in the H.R. 1 package.

I don't buy into this, 'Oh, poor us. We've got tough budget problems.'

I don't fit neatly into anybody's political boxes, and I think that sometimes disturbs people. But I don't think most Alaskans fit neatly into the Republican box or the Democratic box. They don't think of themselves that way.

I don't pass the Tea Party's purity test.

I have nothing against President McKinley whatsoever, but I would rather have this peak be called by the name it has gone by for centuries by Alaskans than a man who never set foot in our state. This is the tallest mountain in North America, and we deserve to have this Alaskan landmark bear an Alaskan name.

I still wear my write-in wristband. It used to be plastic, but my husband turned it into gold.

I think Alaskans expect me to think, to think about them and do the right thing for them.

I think it's fair to say that women have a different level of intuitiveness that allows them to perhaps handle situations a little bit different.

I think there are a lot of outside interests that would like to see Sarah Palin in some form of elected office. Most in Alaska recognize our former governor is really not involved in or engaged in the state anymore, that she's moved to other interests.

I want to support John Boehner in any way that I can, but we need to be pragmatic.

I was advised by my assistant that the women of the Senate don't do potlucks. To which I responded, 'Of course we do.'

I was returned to the Senate by the people of Alaska, and I have an obligation to all of them - it's not an obligation to my party; it's an obligation to Alaskans.

I will be sent back to Washington, D.C., with the grace of God and all the Alaskan voters out there because all Alaskans have asked me to go back and continue my service.

I will do everything, everything in my power, for as long as I am here, to enable the people of King Cove to receive proper emergency access that the rest of us take for granted.

I'm all about accessing our resources; I'm all about those jobs. But I want to make sure I'm not expensing one for the other.

I'm not - I'm not going to define people by labels: who's a real Republican, who's not a real Republican.

I'm not a quitter - never have been.

I'm working for my state first.

I've been working to make sure that we've got adequate transportation. I've been working to make sure that we can afford energy within our villages and in our communities.

I've supported the repeal of ObamaCare.

If there is one belief that unifies most Alaskans - our true north - it is less government and more freedom. We don't want the government in our pockets or our bedrooms; we certainly don't need it in our families.

If there's anybody who is recognized as the one guy who has stymied Alaskan development, it's Bill Clinton.

Imagine that foreign development is not done to our standards and a spill occurs. Neither geology nor ocean currents will respect our national boundaries.

In order to represent the state, you've got to be in the state.

It doesn't make sense to argue about how much global warming is caused by man - whether it's 5 percent or 50 percent.

It is fundamentally important in our system of government that every American be given the opportunity to vote, regardless of who they are, where they live, and what their race or national origin may be.

Keep in mind, our demographics of our state, how it breaks down in terms of political affiliation: over half the people in this state chose not to align themselves with any party at all.
