More bad news on Alaska's Missle Defense

As reported via KTUU: Palin expressed concern over budget cuts.

This is going to be a problem. Alaska and Hawaii are both in danger. We do not have the same type of defenses as the lower 48. Hawaii being an island and Alaska being an island off the coast of Canada.... we have no way of getting to our family or friends if something does happen.

I am worried. Actually this isn't just worrying me, but it makes my stomach hurt thinking that Alaska and Hawaii are going to be sitting ducks. Gates is an idiot! WHY should Alaska and Hawaii take cuts when we are not part of the Continental United States. It is like we are the Bastard Children of the Union!

The question is, what can we do now?
