From the often-whacked-out Examiner:
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.
FAIL.
You do not ask for permission to secede.
You simply do it, and tell the overarching government you formerly adhered to that if they don't like it they're welcome to attempt to force you to return.
Generally speaking, of course, it's a pretty good idea to figure out how you're going to respond if they do make such an attempt and be prepared for it before making that statement, because sometimes they will.
