The first was "Alaskan, yes. American, no." That was way before I knew anything about the Alaskan Independence Party, so I thought it just referred to that independent spirit of Alaskans. Silly me. My favorite, though, was this one, which I was just reminded of by Maia at Own the Sidewalk: "Annoy Prevo: Think For Yourself." Those expensive pre-printed signs, bused-in crowds, and kids too young to hate in the pictures outside the Anchorage Assembly chambers make me think we need to follow Maia's lead. It's time for a whole new batch of those bumper stickers. The original ones were black letters on bright yellow. Maybe these need to be white letters on bright blue?
