From the AIP Website:

The Alaskan Independence Party’s goal is the vote we were entitled to in 1958, one choice from among the following four alternatives:

1) Remain a Territory.
2) Become a separate and Independent Nation.
3) Accept Commonwealth status.
4) Become a State.

The call for this vote is in furtherance of the dream of the Alaskan Independence Party’s founding father, Joe Vogler, which was for Alaskans to achieve independence under a minimal government, fully responsive to the people, promoting a peaceful and lawful means of resolving differences.

Liarbuster:

The word you are seeking to use is “cite,” not “site.” Credibility suffers when ignorance flourishes.

So let me get this straight. Being a member of a subversive group is fine. Being on a board with a person who was a former member of a subversive group is unamerican?
Or wait is it being a member of a multi ethnic church where the pastor is a real war hero (marine who served two combat tours in vietnam and saved the life of lbj) that is the issue.
I see your point. lol

Read your source: “several members say”
Several people say that 9-11 was an inside job, they all drink the same kool-aid.

in 1994, this group had their convention in Palin’s town of 8000 people. And the Palin’s went to the convention — gee, there are lots of things to do in a town of 8000.

Plus, this Alaskan Independence Party does not promote violence, they seek to peacefully and legally allow the Alaskans to vote on leaving the union. AIP does not use terrorism to promote its agenda.

All the little moonbats here are truly frightened by Palin. I find that terribly amusing.
What’s the problem people?
And here you are trying to find anything, any dirt you can scrape up but all it’s doing is galvanizing the republican base AND pointing out to average not very political [usually] Americans that the democratic party has been taken over completely [pod person style] by socialists that are violent and vile and really do despise America…and them
Keep it up…you are doing our work for us.
But I’ll laugh all the way to the voting booth…thanks.

Exactly what is the purpose of the AIP other than a vote on secession of Alaska?

At least she wasn’t friends with a terrorist that bombed the Pentagon like Obama. Lets talk about that.
