As of Saturday November 10, 2012, 15 States have petitioned the Obama Administration for withdrawal from the United States of America in order to create its own government.
States following this action include: Louisiana, Texas, Montana, North Dakota, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Colorado, Oregon and New York. These States have requested that the Obama Administration grant a peaceful withdrawal from the United States.
These citizen generated petitions were filed just days after the 2012 presidential election.
Louisiana was the first State to file a petition a day after the election by a Michael E. from Slidell, Louisiana. Texas was the next State to follow by a Micah H. from Arlington, Texas.
The government allows one month from the day the petition is submitted to obtain 25,000 signatures in order for the Obama administration to consider the request.
The Texas petition reads as follows:
The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.
As of 12:46 am, Sunday, signatures obtained by Louisiana, 7,358; Texas, 3,771; Florida, 636; Georgia, 475; Alabama, 834; North Carolina, 792; Kentucky, 467; Mississippi, 475; Indiana, 449; North Dakota, 162; Montana, 440; Colorado, 324; Oregon, 328; New Jersey, 301 and New York, 169. Many more States are expected to follow.
A petition is not searchable at whitehouse.gov until 150 signatures have been obtained. It is the originator’s responsibility to obtain these signatures.

As soon as there is a natural disaster or something all those States will be wanting
Federal Money to help their SORRY ASSES out just as did Romney when he took over the Olympics and says he balanced the budget, he balanced the budget with money from the Federal Government but alas he forgets to tell the SHEEPY’S
that follow and believe his words that that is how he balanced the budget. It would be GREAT if ALL you hateful socalled Americans would get the HELL OUT. If you can not see both sides of the situation and only think things should be the way you see them then AMERICA DOES NOT NEED YOUR ASS, the SOONER YOU LEAVE the BETTER.
Who are these satates?? 15 is not enough, we need every red to sign up and a place to sign petitions and give us a place where we can vote for every state filing.
