Petition to have Alaska secede back to the Russians receives more than 10,000 signatures in 3 days

[Tx4obama]

A petition to the Obama administration for the secession of Alaska back to Russia has reached more than 10,000 signatures in three days.

The petition, entitled "Alaska Back to Russia", was created by an unnamed Anchorage resident on Thursday, and has gathered signatures from Alaska and several other states. It cites historical evidence of previous visitors and claimants for ownership of the territory.

The petition must reach 100,000 signatures by April 20, 2014, in order to be considered by the current presidential administration for review and an official response. The White House petition site currently has 120 petitions gathering signatures and awaiting consideration.

4. Unless those signatures from other states are from Alaskan residents, they don't count.

5. shhh. They dont count at all.

Wasn't the question of secession settled 159 years ago?

7. Yup and don't forget that the party that cries "secede!" whenever they get the chance is also the

party of Abraham Lincoln - the guy that fought a war to keep the south from seceding.

I love throwing that in their faces. Whenever I mention on a conservative forum that they are racist they are quick to point out that Abraham Lincoln was one of them.

8. Yup, one Nation, indivisible.

9. It is a WhiteHouse.gov petition - which means...

... if the petition receives 100,000 signatures then the White House will release a statement regarding the petition.

So, in that way they do count.
