Starving for Politics - Alaska Rep. Bill Stoltze (R) Lets Kids Go Hungry There is one man who is, at this moment, responsible for keeping hungry children from getting a hot meal that would cost the state only pennies a day. Who is this ethically challenged Republican? It’s Alaska’s own Bill “the naked baker” Stoltze.

There is an activist from Anchorage currently in Juneau on day 9 of a hunger strike. His name is Kokayi Nosakhere . His demand? For the House Finance Committee to schedule Senate Bill 3, a bill that would require (and provide funding for) school breakfasts and lunches. If this bill is not scheduled by the end of session, it will die in Committee. Rather than provide meals for children, the co-chairs of the House Finance Committee are holding this bill hostage in exchange for HB110. HB110 is a bill that would give oil companies tax breaks. Please visit Kokayi's blog for more info:
