The Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) is a political organization that promotes Alaska’s secession from the United States. It was founded by Joe Vogler who said, "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions". He also said, "[T]he fires of Hell are glaciers compared to my hate for the American government".
The AIP says that Gov. Sarah Palin used to be a member of the party. In fact, just this year she recorded a video for the party’s convention saying “your party plays an important role in this state’s politics” and “keep up the good work”.

Earlier reports that Sarah Palin was not a member of the AIP are not true. However, Sarah’s husband Todd Palin was in 1995 and 2000.
