Well..well, look what Homer, Alaska has up its sleeve!

Homer city council goes into full ‘resist Trump’ mode with resolution.
Some Homer residents want to make Homer, Alaska the most intolerant city in the 49th state. A city intolerant of any opposing ideas about what makes a country great. Intolerant of the legally elected president. Intolerant of enforcing the laws on immigration unless the federal government can “document” it has the authority to do so.
They want Homer to be an official “resistance” city, and they've got a resolution to prove it.

Read on: http://mustreadalaska.com/homer-city-council-goes-full-resist-trump-mode-resolution/

I especially like this part:
Homer, Alaska thinks the president is an awful, dreadful little man who is inciting hatred from sea to shining sea, is undoing the Paris Climate Treaty, Obamacare, gender-confused bathroom policies and myriad other Obama stuff. The Homer City Council will, through this resolution, be joining the nascent “resistance movement,” and will not tolerate either the president or the point of view he represents.

Rock on Homer!

RESIST!

just because I don’t need the phone company or the government knowing were I am at their whim. It's just for anonymity's sake. I just choose a spot on the planet and that's where my phone says it is.

I am now officially from Homer Alaska!

I have an android os and the app I use is "Fake GPS". Follow the instructions and it works easily. There are a few other gps faking apps around. They're most effective when you're using wifi.

you'll see legalize pot on trucks with gun racks. More libertarian than anything but a healthy lot of religious zealots too.

I was born in Seldovia, the next town over from Homer, a short ferry ride away. Both are fishing towns. And some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

But they voted for Sarah. Although truth be known, I'm not sure they saw the same side of her that we did before she was tapped for the VP. A red state nonetheless.

Homer rocks. I've been there and it's an amazing little town.

Heard a story about a tourist who went fishing off Homer and objected to shooting halibut in the head before hauling into the boat as he thought it seemed cruel, so he didn't do it.

The 300+ pound halibut flopped over in the boat and crushed the fisherman to death.

They are HUGE fish up in Homer, and a lot of gun-totin' fisherman too. I'd have pegged them as Trump voters.

The resistance is everywhere!
