maybe????

I was thinking in the early 70's though. About the time they discovered the oil.

I think he was returning from DC ans his plane disappeared!!!

Vogler is the one his neighbor killed and buried I think!

Its been awhile...

just my view before I fall into an over night coma...

Its sad when people are like "oh I don't like you anymore I want to leave here now!" What happened to working together?

"A man is in jail for the murder of Mr. Vogler. It is said the murder was a burglary gone bad. Very few Alaskans believe it. The former lieutenant governor has said of the murder that "it is the cleanest take-out" job he had ever heard of; and he’s not the only person in high places asking questions. The murder went unsolved for just over a year. Patently absurd? Perhaps. Why would our government approach a self-described "street person" with a rap sheet, to assassinate a 78-year-old man over the Alaska Question? The murderer, Manfried "Cartoon Freddy" West, was sentenced to 80 years in prison for second degree murder; Jim Vogler, who is missed sorely by many Alaskans, has become the first true martyr in a modern cause for separatism-- no matter why he was killed."

"you mean after all this concern over iraq having a civil way

hhhhmmmmmmmmm"

Kind of gives one another perspective on "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" doesn't it....

Or am I spending too much time in Religion?

old news here. several states have been attempting this for decades. Texas has gone the farthest as far as i know. I wasent aware that florida was involved in this. I think its an excercise in futility myself but to each thier own.

it's all nonsense

Ram-

It's not Florida- just Key West- and it's pretty much a joke... kind of...

according to: www.conchrepublic.com

"The Conch Republic was established by secession of the Florida Keys from the United States of America, on April 23rd, 1982 in response to a United States Border Patrol Blockade setup on highway U.S.1 at Florida City just to the north of the Florida Keys. This heinous act effectively isolated Keys Citizens from the U.S. mainland since the blockade was on our only land artery to and from the mainland. This roadblock portrayed Keys residents as non-U.S. citizens who had to prove their citizenship in order to drive onto the Florida mainland! Hardly an American thing to do!

We protested! A totally American thing to do! Key West Mayor Dennis Wardlow along with a few other 'key' Conchs, went to Federal court in Miami to seek an injunction to stop the federal blockade, but to no avail. Upon leaving the Federal Court House , on the court house steps , Mayor Wardlow announced to the world, by way of the assembled TV crews and reporters, that ; "Tomorrow at noon the Florida Keys will secede from the Union!"

At noon, on the day of secession, at Mallory Square in Key West Florida, Mayor Wardlow read the proclamation of secession and proclaimed aloud that the Conch Republic was an independent nation separate from the U.S. and then symbolically began the Conch Republic's Civil Rebellion by breaking a loaf of stale Cuban bread over the head of a man dressed in a U.S. Navy uniform. After one minute of rebellion, the now, Prime Minister Wardlow turned to the Admiral in charge of the Navy Base at Key West, and surrendered to the Union Forces, and demanded 1 Billion dollars in foreign aid and War Relief to rebuild our nation after the long Federal siege!

Thus began our Conch Republic journey which still continues today! We are both Conchs and we are Americans and we are proud to be both. By act of Congress we hold dual citizenship as Conchs and as Americans and will fight for the right to be both! "

I love the Keys!!!!!

I think this is all so much ya ya ya wanking around. None of them really want to secede. People just like to talk because it ads a forum for their complaints. Its cute, coffee table decoration but that's about it.
