They say politics is local but the reality is; it is local, but many times Outside influences come into play on local matters and those influences were best displayed when Sarah Palin was chosen to be Senator John McCain’s running mate. Alaska for the most part, was viewed by many people in the Lower 48 as a place that was cold, was completely dark in the winter, people lived in Igloos and English was a second language. It wasn’t until Sarah Palin was chosen as the Vice Presidential candidate that people in the Lower 48, through the lens of the...

For many months, AIP affiliates all across the nation have been pursuing the truth about whether or not Barack Obama is constitutionally qualified to be President of the United States. In addition to several key court challenges filed by leaders in the party, our people - regular constitution-loving, freedom-loving, patriotic citizens - have persistently kept this critically-important story alive. They are proving the practicality and viability of our goal of 'becoming the media.' To date, the American people have been deprived by the Obama faction of every key document that could settle this supremely important controversy once and for all....

Israel gets two more German submarines (AFP) – 14 hours ago JERUSALEM — Israel has taken delivery of two German submarines ordered four years ago, a military spokesman said on Tuesday. "We have received two Dolphin-class submarines built in Germany," he said, on condition of anonymity. The submarines, called U212s, can launch cruise missiles carrying nuclear warheads, although when it confirmed the sale in 2006 the German government said the two vessels were not equipped to carry nuclear weapons. The subs were ordered in 2005 and delivery was initially expected in 2010. Including the two new ones, Israel has five...

Stealthy Italian submarine will train with U.S. Navy The ITS Scire is paying a visit to Mayport to take part in a Joint Task Force Exercise. By Timothy J. Gibbons From its high-tech fuel cell engine to its automated torpedo loading system, the ITS Scire proudly shows off the advanced technology crammed into its narrow body. But being on the crew of a cutting-edge fighting vessel doesn't mean one has to ignore the comforts of life - which perhaps is why cans of extra virgin olive oil manage to find a corner amid the fearsome torpedoes. From the espresso machine...

(IsraelNN.com) 'Tea parties', tax revolts, and a general disillusionment with political parties which they say are based in socialism are leading some Americans to find political refuge in a party which claims dedication to America's traditional moral values. The AIP, America's Independent Party, says it is a haven for the American patriot, and is determined to maintain what it sees as Biblically-based principles, including support for the State of Israel. It claims to already be the third largest political party in the United States. Tom Kovach, Tennessee state party chairman and National Outreach Communication Director of AIP, told Israel...

Dear California Voter, Here are the American Independent Party of California's recommendations for the May 19th Special Election.* ** Prop 1A. Extend the Tax Increases. NO. This measure extends the recent tax increases for up to two additional years to the already overtaxed people of California. Prop 1B. Increases Public School Spending $9.3 Billion. NO. This measure promotes irresponsible budget management, obligating future payments to public schools in exchange for not making certain mandated budget expenditures over the next two years. Prop 1C. Lottery Rip-Off. NO. This measure moves lottery money that was designated for schools to the general fund...

This video is well worth watching! It was taken by well-known pro-life activist and blogger Jill Stanek from a CBR Truth Truck (driven by AIP of Florida Vice-Chairman Carl Bibeau). What you'll see is mile after mile of pro-lifers lining all of the approaches to Notre Dame University yesterday as the supposedly Catholic Institution of Higher Learning proved itself to be nothing of the sort. Amazing footage!

(CNN) — John McCain’s general election campaign began as “the strategic equivalent of throwing a football through a tire at 50 yards” – and was doomed weeks before Election Day, his former chief strategist said Thursday. “We were running a campaign under extra difficult circumstances — the state of the Republican Party, the president’s unpopularity, the economy — a lot of issues that were not John McCain’s fault, but were John McCain’s problem in this race,” Schmidt told an audience at the University of Delaware, according to Politico. “When Lehman Brothers collapsed in the fall I knew pretty much right...

Gingrich Warns of Conservative 3rd Party in 2012 Friday, April 3, 2009 8:53 AM Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich warns that conservatives could leave the GOP and form a third party in 2012 if Republicans don’t do more to rein in government spending. “If the Republicans can’t break out of being the right wing party of big government, then I think you would see a third party movement in 2012, Gingrich said during an address to students at the College of the Ozarks in Missouri. http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/gingrich_third_party/2009/04/03/199346.html?s=al&promo_code=7D64-1

For those who don't know, the primaries will be held tomorrow for the special election to fill Rahn Emmanuel's vacant 5th District Congressional seat. Longtime FReeper Rosanna Pulido is one of the candidates! Many of our AIP volunteers have been working hard campaigning for her, and this heart-warming story came from one of them today. I though you might enjoy it: From "cajunwaterbaby": GOOD NEWS! Now this is a candidate!! I was calling voters in the troubled State of Illinois about the election tomorrow, and I spoke with a lovely man who said he'd love to go to vote, but...

Our Wednesday night town-hall-style Maryland Independent Party conference call this week will focus on amending our state Constitution. Delegate Don Dwyer of Glen Burnie in Anne Arundel County plans to introduce a bill in the Maryland House of Delegates soon, and this call is a great way to help ensure that the language he proposes is as strong as can be. He envisions the amendment as adding an article to the "Declaration of Rights" section of the Constitution. All the articles of that section share the following introductory root: "We, the People of the State of Maryland, grateful to Almighty...

The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) supported by Barack Obama is the product of the culture of death that reigns in America. We agree with opponents of FOCA that the evil of abortion should be opposed. However, opposing evil is only half of the equation. Scripture says, "Depart from evil and do good" (Psalm 34:14). We need a positive alternative. Our nation has drifted far from God, who says clearly, "You shall not murder." The founding fathers understood the self-evident truth "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among...

Quite recently, it struck me that it’s not that the MSM has done everything in its considerable power to spin, deny or conceal, all the unpleasant truths about ACORN, Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers and the Annenberg Challenge, that upsets me the most. The thing that truly depresses me is that millions of my fellow Americans know the truth, but simply don’t seem to care. They also don’t seem too concerned that in a 2001 radio interview, Obama declared that his problem with the Warren Court was that although it ruled in favor of Civil Rights, it was not...
