Members of 'Fringe' Alaskan Independence Party Say Palin Was a Member in 90s

The campaign of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., likes to herald the independence of its new running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Officials of the Alaskan Independence Party say that Palin was once so independent, she was once a member of their party, which, since the 1970s, has been pushing for a legal vote for Alaskans to decide whether or not residents of the 49th state can secede from the United States.

And while McCain's motto -- as seen in a new TV ad -- is "Country First," the AIP's motto is the exact opposite -- "Alaska First -- Alaska Always."

Lynette Clark, the chairman of the AIP, tells ABC News that Palin and her husband Todd were members in 1994, even attending the 1994 statewide convention in Wasilla. Clark was AIP secretary at the time.

"We are a state's rights party," says Clark, a self-employed goldminer. The AIP has "a plank that challenges the legality of the Alaskan statehood vote as illegal and in violation of United Nations charter and international law."

She says it's not accurate to describe the party as secessionist -- they just want a vote, she says, adding that the members of the AIP hold different opinions on what Alaska should be.

"My own separate opinion as an individual is that we should be an independent nation," Clark says. Others in the AIP "believe that being a commonwealth would be a good avenue to follow." Some advocate statehood -- but a fuller statehood than exists now.

She doesn't know what Palin's position was.

"It never came up in conversation," Clark recalls. "But when she joined the party, our platform was right under her nose."

Clark says that Palin left the party and became a Republican in 1996, when she first ran for mayor of Wasilla.

The McCain-Palin campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The AIP platform states that the purpose of the party is to "seek the complete repatriation of the public lands, held by the federal government, to the state and people of Alaska in conformance with Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, of the federal constitution ... To prohibit all bureaucratic regulations and judicial rulings purporting to have the effect of law, except that which shall be approved by the elected legislature ... To support the privatization of government services ...?

Walter Hickel, a former Republican governor, was elected to the governorship in 1990 as an AIP member -- the third-largest party in Alaska -- with a plurality vote of 38.8%. A Seattle Post-Intelligencer story that year said that "Hickel is running with the Alaska Independence Party, a fringe group advocating that the 49th state declare itself a sovereign nation. But he's not a separatist; he's an opportunist: the Independence Party was the only 11th-hour ticket to the general election."

Hickel returned to the Republican Party in 1994; he endorsed Palin in her gubernatorial run in 2006. Subsequent AIP gubernatorial candidates did not fare as well as did Hickel, garnering less than 2 percent of the vote.

Earlier this year, Palin sent a video message to the AIP for its annual convention, where AIP vice chair George Clark told the small crowd that Palin "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 percent approval rating, and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership."

Lynette Clark says that Palin is "a fine individual. She's forthright and she puts Alaska first."

She is not a fan of McCain.

"I can't understand why in God's name she has aligned herself with a candidate who opposes the development of our republic and Alaska's resource wealth," Clark says.

Why did I even read this. I must be bored. Would be pretty cool if Alaska did leave the US and then we could like invade it to liberate the natives and get the oil again.

OK in all seriousness this Clark person wants to develop Alaska and use any and all available resources?

As mayor, left her hometown in debt after an eminent-domain fiasco to build a sports center...has requested $200 million in earmarks for 2009...was for the Bridge to Nowhere when campaigning in Ketchikan but changed her mind when it became politically expedient...only met with McCain once before he offered her the job...no foreign policy experience whatsoever.

I don't need to hear about pregnant daughters or former ties with secessionists. I've heard enough. McCain made his first "executive decision", and it was a colossal failure. I cannot justify voting for someone who was so reckless in picking someone to be one 72-year-old heartbeat away from the highest office in the land. Of all the Republicans he met in 26 years of being a Senator, and campaigning around the country for 18 months, this is the one he picked? I cannot vote for that kind of judgement.

Palin may wind up being fine - it's her new boss that is leaving a lot to be desired. I used to think whoever replaced Bush, we'd be better off. Now I'm not so sure.

'Alaska First-- Alaska Always': Did Palin Want Her State to Secede?

what about COUNTRY FIRST????

[TampaToker]

This chick a piece of work lol

http://www.adn.com/polarbears/story/413710.html

The State of Alaska will sue to challenge the recent listing of polar bears as a threatened species, Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday.


She and other Alaska elected officials fear a listing will cripple oil and gas development in prime polar bear habitat off the state's northern and northwestern coasts.

McCain apparently doesn't know how to use the search engine tubes.

Wow ... if only as much attention was being directed at Obama's white haired angel. He's got more juicy stuff in his closet .... but hey he's out of bounds right ? The media thinks so.

If you actually think Obama is off limits to the media you must not be from the US and watch much news or read any papers. Hell there are entire news networks on the side of the republicans and they also pretty much own the radio shows too.

Any details besides the plagiarism thing?

[dig420]

yeah it's a big media conspiracy. Idiot.

It's so obvious and so well proven that most major mainstream outlets are conservative mouthpieces that you pretty much have to be completely oblivious to reality to even TRY to parrot that dumbass 'liberal media' mantra.

Sarah Palin on possibly becoming VP:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12969.html

"We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we’re trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question."
---

You hear that folks? The VP would have an "Alaska First" mentality in the White House. Sounds to me like she didn't really leave the Alaskan Independence Party.

[Tempest]

Why do I get the feeling that there's going to be even more dirt coming.... something about her just says to me that there's going to be tons.

They are the reason Bush got a second term.

I actually noticed that as well when I first heard her say it and I thought it was a bit odd to say. Now it seems more understandable as to why she said it like that.

It's pretty damn clear this women was a last min pick and I honestly can't understand why. McCain has been the known Republican front runner for a long time. Why on earth would he force himself into a last min pick for his VP. This kind of lack of proper decision making just shows what he would be like in the oval office.

It's pretty fucking scary if you think about it and the fact he's already blundered the most important decision up to this point for the bid to the white House.

As the Los Angeles Times reported, the state of Alaska requested 31 earmarks worth $197.8 million for next year's federal budget. And according to Citizens Against Government Waste, Alaska received $379,669,715 in pork during fiscal year 2008, nearly $100 million more than any other state.

Black Democrats are voting largely along racial lines. With few policy differences between the candidates, Obama won 92 percent of the black vote in Mississippi, 91 percent in Wisconsin, 87 percent in Ohio, 84 percent in Maryland, and 84 percent in Texas.

Yep I know a bunch, I wont even talk politics with them anymore its a waste of my time.

[WarChild]

What America _really_ needs, and especially Black Americans, is for more black role models like Obama to emerge. Educated, well spoken and charasmatic. Someone for children to look up to and aspire to be like.

Unfortunately, I fear the black role models will continue to come from Hip Hop culture, a culture of failure and ignorance. I hope I'm wrong.

Texas can not secede, but does have the right to divide itself into as many as five states. That would enable the citizens of Texas to have 10 senators rather than two.

Amazing, the coalition that the conservatives have managed to put together. You don't even know that the Democrats will make a better world for dumb people. Voting against your own interests.
