on a petition to put secession on a state-wide ballot.
Read the article which appeared in yesterday's Anchorage Press, a weekly paper.
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

Fun times ahead Rev. Keep the "prayers" going. :)
So... It is up to the states, but the states are not allowed to discuss the issue...
How soon we forget the applause coming from this side of the pond when the Soviet UNION collapsed - now, considering that in America a union is indissoluble, aparently we hold OTHER Unions to different, lower standards? I would like to see the Soviet Union forcible held together by Lincoln's Army of the US... we should have given aid to Moscow, no?
Then WTF is any different - oh, that's right... power and corruption in our own system that fears independent thought and sovereignty on par with a loose confederation - exactly how this little party got started.
It seems, for the time being, that you cannot pray your way out of stupid... (sigh)
I note that the Court agreed with then-Lt. Gov. Parnell, who said a popular vote wasn't "the right venue" for a discussion of secession.
They didn't rule out OTHER venues, nor did now-Gov. Parnell elaborate. A vote of the Legislature, signed by the Governor perhaps? Or a constitutional amendment authorizing it? THAT would go to a statewide vote.
Just speculating, of course, but it is fascinating.
