An Open Letter to Sarah Palin concerning her connections to the Alaskan Independence Party

12 October 2007*

Dear Governor Palin:

No one can deny that your ascension through the political apparatus of Alaska has been nothing short of meteoric.  It has recently come to my attention that some of this may be due to your loose affiliation with elements of the Alaskan Independence Party, a secessionist political party that consistently demands Alaska no longer be a part of the Union, but rather secede outright or become a commonwealth like Puerto Rico.

Look, secession is a bitch.  Just trust me on this one.

Sincerely yours,

Daniel R. Green

Resident of a former Confederate state
