A little background on how I know Bob Stokes and Erica Anderson. Bob Stokes and I have known one another since our days in the US Senate.  He worked for the senior Senator from Alaska, the Late Senator Ted Stevens and I worked for the junior Senator from Alaska, former Senator Frank Murkowski.  Eric Anderson and I have been friends since 1995. We both worked for Senator Frank Murkowski, I worked in the personal office and she worked on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

Welcome, Bob and Erica to Topless Government.  Thank you for coming onto the show.
