Sarah Palin's Message to the Alaskan Indepencence Party

Talk about terrorists and fringe groups. The Alaskan Indepence Party is definitely on the fringe and given Palin's message below, it seems that saying, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones," applies to Palin. This political party advocates Alaska seceding from the union. How much more radical than that can you get?

Platform and Goal
of the

Alaskan Independence Party


Preamble
We affirm that all political power is inherent in the people; that all government originates with the people, is founded on their will only, is instituted to protect the rights of the individual; that all persons have a natural right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the enjoyment of the rewards of their own industry; that all persons are equal and entitled to equal protection under the law. We stand on a firm constitutional foundation.
