I know a lot of folks up in Alaska and the AIP is hardly something you could

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.
