We petition the Obama administration to: Peacefully grant the State of Arizona to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.

As the founding fathers of the united States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:
"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government..."
The citizens of the great state of Arizona have the right to stand for their principles. That man is granted unalienable rights, which are not the dispensations of the government, but find their beginnings in God and come from God alone. These are the principles that our forefathers stood for, the principles upon, which our Constitution is based, and those in which we firmly place our belief and resolve.
Created: Nov 10, 2012
States whose active petitions have not yet reached the 25,000 signature threshold include Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Fourteen states are represented by at least two competing petitions. The extra efforts from two states — Missouri and South Carolina — would add enough petitions to warrant reviews by the Obama administration if they were combined into petitions launched earlier.

Other states with multiple efforts include Alaska, California, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.


As Google notes, web searches for the term “secession” are being run in a number of states:


Conservatives – such as Judge Napolitano and Ron Paul -  say that the states have the right to secede.  And Texas governor Rick Perry said that Texas has a right to secede (although he counsels against it at the current time).
On the other hand, most liberals say that the Civil War ended the state’s right to secede.    Huffington Post is covering the wave of secession petitions … to ridicule them.
Daily Kos suggests that “secessionists can secede by renouncing their citizenship“.
As the Daily Caller notes, liberals have launched their own counter-petitions:

  1. Wow. Suddenly, Terrel Owens no longer looks like a statistical outlier.

  2. Texas would have the best success since they would be energy independent, they grow plenty of food, and have their own electrical grid. Also, they understand liberty much better than any "blue" state could hope for.

  3. I say let them all secede, that would solve our fiscal problems since most of the Southern states take in more federal money than they pay in federal taxes. What happens to the huge Dallas-Fort Worth complex when no U.S. citizens can fly there without a passport? What happens to all the Texas sports teams? These nuts obviously have no idea how interconnected the states are in every aspect of commerce.

      Excellent Mick. Knee jerk reaction to a growing problem.

      What happens when half the country decides it's had enough and your state is included in the migration from the union? Same answer??

  4. I forgot to mention all the Governors of those states are 100% opposed to the idea.

  5. How 'bout "voluntary deportation" for those individuals who want to secede? After all, that was Mitt's solution for illegal immigration ...

    "Voluntary deportation" ... LMFAO!!!

    Maybe we can solve all our problems this way? Do you think we could get rid of crime by starting a "Voluntary Incarceration" program?

    Bwaahahahaha!!!! Secession ... Sheesh. We have truly become a nation of turnips. Stormy was right - the movie "Idiocracy" has become prophecy.
