on a petition to put secession on a state-wide ballot.
Read the article which appeared in yesterday's Anchorage Press, a weekly paper.
John 12:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."

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.
