Country First?: Sarah and Todd Palins troubled ties to AIP (Alaska First) - Secession and Terrorism. What do we really know about Sarah and Todd Palin? Todd was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party whose goal is secession. Sarah has shown her support on numerous occasions. AIP denies Sarah was a member but recognizes this support. AIP says Alaska First, not Country First. And, the AIP has linked itself to known terrorists.
video explains connection between Sarah and Todd Palin, and Joe Vogler, extremist founder of the Alaskan Independence (AIP) party.

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/10/10/palin_chryson/index.html On the afternoon of Sept. 24 in downtown Palmer, Alaska, as the sun began to sink behind the snowcapped mountains that flank the picturesque Mat-Su Valley, 51-year-old Mark Chryson sat for an hour on a park bench, reveling in tales of his days as chairman of the Alaska Independence Party. The stocky, gray-haired computer technician waxed nostalgic about quixotic battles to eliminate taxes, support the "traditional family" and secede from the United States. So long as Alaska remained under the boot of the federal government, said Chryson, the AIP had to stand on guard to stymie a New World Order. He invited a Salon reporter to see a few items inside his pickup truck that were intended for his personal protection. "This here is my attack dog," he said with a chuckle, handing the reporter an exuberant 8-pound papillon from his passenger seat. "Her name is Suzy." Then he pulled a 9-millimeter Makarov PM pistol -- once the standard-issue sidearm for Soviet cops -- out of his glove compartment. "I've got enough weaponry to raise a small army in my basement," he said, clutching the gun in his palm. "Then again, so do most Alaskans." But Chryson added a message of reassurance to residents of that faraway place some Alaskans call "the 48." "We want to go our separate ways," he said, "but we are not going to kill you." Though Chryson belongs to a fringe political party, one that advocates the secession of Alaska from the Union, and that organizes with other like-minded secessionist movements from Canada to the Deep South, he is not without peculiar influence in state politics, especially the rise of Sarah Palin. An obscure figure outside of Alaska, Chryson has been a political fixture in the hometown of the Republican vice-presidential nominee for over a decade. During the 1990s, when Chryson directed the AIP, he and another radical right-winger, Steve Stoll, played a quiet but pivotal role in electing Palin as mayor of Wasilla and shaping her political agenda afterward. Both Stoll and Chryson not only contributed to Palin's campaign financially, they played major behind-the-scenes roles in the Palin camp before, during and after her victory. Palling Around With a Pal of a Terrorist - McCain's campaign is now intimately tied to Saddam Hussein's murderous regime in Iraq with William Timmons overseeing his transition planning and team. Under McCain's own rubric then, he himself is palling around with a pal of a globally malevolent terrorist who, over decades, killed tens of thousands. Let's break it down further: McCain continues to assert that 9/11 and Saddam Hussein's Iraq are fundamentally linked. Under his own standard, McCain has on his staff, in one of the most important jobs on the campaign, a man, Timmons, who aided, abetted and promoted a regime, which, in McCain's mind, had a hand in the murder of thousands of Americans on September 11. Using McCainian logic, he has hired an accomplice to 9/11. Now if that doesn't call his judgment into question, I don't know what will. McCain has once again put country last during a critical moment in campaign decision making. The McCain/Timmons situation is the Obama/Ayers connection on 100% pure anabolic steroids delivered straight to the vein. And hopefully, the media will jump on this, not because it is some political ploy by a desperate campaign as is the case with McCain's Ayers argument, but because this is a completely shady, improper and duplicitous breach of trust towards the American people, reflective of a leader who simply has no good leadership qualities left. Between Palin and Timmons, it's downright terrifying to think who McCain would appoint to important positions at a presidential level.

Sarah Palin has some explaining to do about her extremist friends and the Alaskan Independence Party, a radical group that wants Alaska to become its own country. While not a member of the Alaskan Independence Party she has attended its conventions and congratulated its members on their efforts. Palin also had a lot of help in her early political career from the extremists in the group, finding it necessary to seek to reward some of them with seats of power. Oh, and her husband is a member.

Sarah Palin and John McCain are on extremely shaky ground being concerned with anyone else's connection to radicals. Palin and her husband Todd have had a long and, as of March 2008, ongoing association with the Alaskan Independence Party. Todd Palin was a registered member of the AIP from 1995 to 2002.

I discovered this excellent video, and then found out that wingnuts were harassing the videomaker and using threats to force them to take down the video off of YouTube. This is America -- stand up for freedom of speech, freedom from harassment! Feel free to download from here and post onto your own YouTube account! Pass this video along! FACT CHECKING: Sarah & Todd Palin are secessionists -- they have both been involved with the AIP (Alaska Independence Party). AIP's goal is for Alaska to break away from the US. Documented, confirmed: during 1995-2002 Todd Palin was a registered member of the Alaskan Independence Party. Sarah Palin wasn't just palin' around with a registered secessionist -- she'd been sleeping with 'em. But Sarah has been involved with the AIP herself. She and the McCain campaign have claimed that she is not a "member" and has not been a "member", and used her Republican party registration to back those claims. They intimidated AIP chair Lynette Clark into recanting her claim that Sarah Palin was a "member". BUT multiple other AIP members have claimed that she was a member. ABC News on September 2, 2008: former AIP official -- Mark Chryson, chairman of the AIP from 1995 to 2002 -- tells ABC News that "Palin was at the convention in 1994. She was there." There is unequivocal evidence on video that other AIP leaders are certain that Sarah Palin was an AIP member and sympathizer from the time before she was Wasilla mayor. Dexter Clark, vice chairman of the Alaska Independence party, told party officials in 2006 that: "She was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town -- that was a non-partisan job. But you get along to go along -- she eventually joined the Republican Party, where she had all kinds of problems with their ethics, and well, I won't go into that. She also had about an 80% approval rating, and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership." For video documentation, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmt0rL... A McCain spokesman acknowledges that Sarah Palin was at the AIP convention "in Wasilla in 2000 as a courtesy since she was mayor." Sarah Palin openly acknowledges having campaigned at the AIP convention in 2006. As Governor she recorded a clearly supportive welcome to the 2008 AIP Convention. "Your party plays an important role in our states politics ... keep up the good work, and God bless you." (clips of that 2008 welcome are in the video on this page, as well as in the video linked above) More evidence: http://blip.tv/file/1231145 Todd, definitely a registered member for over 6 years. Sarah, definitely participating at AIP conventions in 1994, 2000, 2006, and and 2008. Perhaps Sarah's 2-facedness (or multi-facedness) convinced the AIP'ers that she was a kindred spirit, while in reality she was only a lying opportunist. But the closer we look, especially given Todd's undisputed registered membership, the more it becomes clear that the commonality of belief and aims goes much deeper. Now we are beginning to see why Palin is so good at saying whatever she's been programmed to say by those behind her -- pathological liar, with much deeper aims than have been made public. Either way, her being a heartbeat away from the Presidency is an unacceptable risk. ========== ESPECIALLY READ THE LAST SECTION: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Vogler ========== IMPORTANT: http://firedoglake.com/2008/09/10/sar... The AIP is clearly a secessionist movement. It had delegates both at the First North American Secession Convention in 2006, but also at the Second North American Secession Convention in 2007 alongside fellow members the League of the South (the most prominent neo-Confederate organization and an SPLC-designated hate group); the Republic of Texas (a militia/Patriot group whose members at one time engaged in an armed standoff with Texas law enforcement); and Christian Exodus (which advocates creating an all-white homeland, either in South Carolina or in Idaho, depending on whos in charge). You can also find links to these groups at AIPs links page. In other words, this is a group that works alongside acknowledged racists and far-right radicals in pursuit of an agenda that is by definition extremist that is, secession.

Not being registered as an AIP member did not keep some Alaskans from being supporters of the party and its aims. Jack Coghill, the lieutenant governor of Alaska from 1990 to 1994 and a candidate for governor in 1994 on the AIP ticket, told Mother Jones that being friendly with the AIP and a registered Republican was "common" in the 1990s.

EVERYBODY PLEASE READ THIS LETTER: http://www.thepresidentialcandidates.us/about-sarah-palin-a-letter-from-anne-kilkenny/741/ +++ I am reposting this clip of another user because it deserves a much wider audience!! I just added a little "extra" at the end... ;-) Further reading: http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-aip3-2008sep03,0,6399468.story From the LA Times: For all but two months from 1995 to 2002, the governor's husband was registered as an Alaskan Independence Party member, according to the Alaska Division of Elections. With McCain's campaign emphasizing patriotism -- his latest slogan is "Country First" -- the Palins' links to a party founded by the late secessionist gold miner Joe Vogler could prove awkward. "I'm an Alaskan, not an American," Vogler is quoted as saying elsewhere on the partys website. "I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." The party supports a plebiscite on four options that it says Alaskans were entitled to vote on before becoming a state in 1959: Form a sovereign nation of their own, become a state, accept commonwealth status similar to Puerto Rico's, or remain a U.S. territory. Leaders of the party say many of its 13,681 registered members have joined out of frustration over restrictions that the federal government has placed on the use of its vast land holdings in Alaska. Beyond the secession vote, the party also advocates gun rights, home schooling and abolition of property taxes. A question-and-answer page on its website asks, "Aren't most Alaskan Independence Party members a bunch of radicals and kooks?" "The party has its share of individualists, in the grand Alaskan tradition," the answer says. "No longer a fringe party, the AIP is a viable third party with a serious mission and qualified candidates for elected offices." Less than 3% of the state's 479,721 registered voters are members of the party. An AIP high point came in 1990, when Walter J. Hickel -- a Republican governor of Alaska in the late 1960s -- won the job again as the Alaskan Independence Party's candidate. But he returned months later to the GOP. Palin and her husband attended the party's 1994 convention at a Best Western in Wasilla, Alaska, said former Chairman Mark Chryson, a computer repairman who is now the party's webmaster. A former mayor of Wasilla, Palin also spoke to the party's convention in the same hotel in 2006 when she was running for governor, Chryson said. Dexter Clark, an Alaskan Independence Party vice chairman, brought up Palin's ties to the group in videotaped remarks to the second North American Secessionist Convention in October in Chattanooga, Tenn. "She was an AIP member before she got the job as the mayor of a small town," Clark told the group. "That was a nonpartisan job. But you get along to go along. She eventually joined the Republican Party." McCain's campaign distributed Palin's voter registration records Tuesday to show that she had never been a member of the AIP. The Alaska Division of Elections confirmed that Palin had been registered as a Republican since 1982.
This is an Alaska Independence Party meeting. Go to the 6th minute of this video. They are a radical group that wanted Alaska to secede from the USA. Very un-American, unpatriotic.

Former Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) member Sarah Palin addresses the 2008 AIP convention. The AIP is the group that wants Alaska to split from United States of America. In the following related clip, AIP Vice Chairman Dexter Clark publicly confirms that Sarah Palin was a member of the AIP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NK2sFJebGc The clip is long, and the reference to Sarah Palin is 6 minutes in. But it is well worth the wait to hear what the AIP Vice Chairman says about Palin: "Our current governor, we mentioned at the last conference, the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected. There's a joke, she's a pretty good looking gal, there's a joke goes around we're the coldest state with the hottest governor. And there was a lot of talk about her moving up. She was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town -- that was a non-partisan job. But you get along to go along -- she eventually joined the Republican Party, where she had all kinds of problems with their ethics, and well, I won't go into that. She also had about an 80% approval rating, and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership." Clark goes on to talk about the need for AIP members to "infiltrate the major political parties". So much for "America First". Todd Palin, Governor Palin's husband, is still a member of the AIP.

"Country First" or "Alaska First"? Does Palin care about America, or does she support her husband's party that "has no use for America or her damned institutions?"
ATTENTION SECESSIONISTS We must unite behind Sarah Palin. Her husband, Todd, was a member the Alaskan Independence Party working for Alaska to secede from the United States. The director of Division of Elections in Alaska reported that Todd Palin registered in October 1995 to the Alaska Independence Party, a radical group that advocates for Alaskan secession from the United States, and remained a member until 2002, when he registered as undeclared while his wife ran for office.
Sarah Palin, an elected governor of a state within the United States of America, is palling around with people who openly hate America. More than that -- she married one of those people and is married to him to this day. No wonder that the arch-right-wing anti-Americans of the Alaskan Independence Party have claimed her as one of their own.Full Digg post: http://digg.com/politics/Sarah_Palin_Hates_America_2
