we petition the obama administration to:
Peacefully grant the State of New York 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:
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
“…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…”

I would like to sign the petition. How do I do this?
Carla,
Click the link at the top of the post that says White House Site and you will go to the NY petition. In under the short petition below the latest totals is a green rectangular box that says sign this petition. click and fill out the 3-4 required items. I believe they are name, address and email address. You will receive an email, click the link. Very simple.
Here is the link if the link on my post doesn’t work, but I just used it to test.
