Y'all explain to me what the deal is with her membership and the AIP? 
Are they on the terror list or something? ;)
I looked at a few websites, and I was like, so?? what is the big deal? 
Those people just want a choice, and in the meantime, less government, 
which is IMO, a good thing.  I don't think anyone really believes they 
would choose to leave the United States, and besides, we all know what 
would happen if they tried.  I mean, can you imagine?? We would invade 
Alaska for the oil!!  It would be the Second Civil War!  But I would bet 
that if that were the case, those moosehunters would have an advantage!

But seriously, what is the problem?  I realize that some say they are 
secessionist, but that is only one option of 4.   I think they just want 
a choice.  In the meantime, they are a state, the people are citizens, 
the territory and it's resources belong to the United States.
Doesn't California and Texas have something similar?  I think Hawaii 
does, too.  Enlighten me.
