Unending recession deserves a call to the White House for secession

 

Someone’s having a party at the White House website at Obama’s expense. Since the election, 20 petitions have been submitted calling for 20 states to be allowed to secede from the union.

They all read very similarly, starting: “We petition the Obama administration to: Peacefully grant the State of Arizona … or Louisiana or Texas or Arkansas or Oklahoma … to withdraw from the United States of American and create its own NEW government.” The petitions then quote the Declaration of Independence on how governments are instituted among Men, etc. and it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish them.

Make that 21.

But Nevada’s is worded a bit differently from the others.

Sign the petition now.

The version online is a shortened one due to character limitations. You can read it and sign it here. You will have to create an account, but you only have to give your email and then get an email allowing you to sign this and other petitions. Supposedly, if 25,000 signatures are reached by Dec. 12, the Obama administration will reply.

I just happen to have been provided an unexpurgated version of the full petition, which you may peruse at your leisure:

The State of Nevada hereby petitions that it be granted the lawful right to secede from the United States of America and form its own new government as a free and sovereign nation with dominion over all unappropriated land therein and with no obligations to the current federal government.

Whereas, the State of Nevada was admitted into the union under the presumption and presidential declaration that it would be on equal footing with every other state previously admitted, but was extortionately required to include in its charter that all unappropriated lands within the boundaries of the state be forever placed under the control of the federal government.

Whereas, the voters of the State of Nevada voted in 1996 to amend the State Constitution to remove the Disclaimer Clause that surrendered said unappropriated land, but the Congress and the President have, in violation of the right to petition said federal government for redress of grievances, ignored the will of the people of the State of Nevada.

Therefore, the people of the State of Nevada petition to be allowed to peacefully secede from the United States and form its own government — except for the County of Clark, which could chose to join California or Arizona as its residents may decide — because the original statehood ordinance was fraudulent and agreed to under duress, and is thus null and void.

Therefore, all laws and ordinances by which the State of Nevada became a member of the Union would be repealed and all obligations on the part of the State or the people thereof to observe the same would be withdrawn, and the State shall assume all the rights, functions, and powers that were conveyed to the Government of the United States by the statehood ordinance, and the State would be absolved from all the obligations, restraints, duties and debts accumulated by the Union, and should henceforth be a free, sovereign, and independent State.

Therefore, the people of the State of Nevada may form a union with such of the States as may also secede from the Union.

So sign the petition using each of your emails and have the pleasure of sending a rebellious message to your government. Share the link with fellow rebels via email, Twitter and Facebook, etc. Paint the White House website red.
