It is not disloyal to want to return to territorial status. This group believes they were not granted the statehood vote.
Now, that is either a fact or not or there’s some strange twist that they’re allowed to question. I wonder why they believe it?
The fact that Palin’s husband, part Eskimo, would be associated with an Alaska-only group simply doesn’t bother me at all. It seems sort of natural, actually.
FWIW, I figured that the movement was the result of having DC bureaucrats and politicians control the natural resources they live on. The greatest source of income in the state is from oil and natural gas, but they aren't being allowed to fully develop those resources. I resent DC interfere in an ever expanding part of my life, why not them?
My daughter in law is a Tlingit Indian. It wouldn’t surprise me if my son and she were part of that, but I really don’t know that they are. I should ask them. Alaskans are VERY independent and always have been. They might not like the restrictions being put on them by the US government, esp. where their land and drilling rights are concerned.
I keep hoping NYC will secede from the state. That’s where so much of OUR money goes.
You know, it's funny. In all the research I have had to do about these guys for my defense of Sarah Palin, I actually think I was too harsh about them in my first comments. :) I can't say as I identify with them, but the more I have read the more I think they have some good points. When I read their platform, I didn't think of them as being traitorous at all.
