500,000 people in 37 states are fighting for independence, and Alberta will not fall behind. Just one week after President Obama was re-elected, more than 500,000 people in 37 states signed a petition asking the White House to allow their states to secede from the union and establish new state governments. How could such a big event not involve Albertans? States demanding independence have sent petitions to the White House's official "WethePeople" website, along with the supporters' cities, signature dates and signature numbers. As of the afternoon of the 13th, more than 500,000 Americans in 37 states had signed their petition to secede from the Union. Among them, 22 states chose to support Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on election day, but some "swing states" that chose Obama and "deep blue" northeastern states such as New York, Rhode Island, and New Jersey also had people respond. Most of the petitions cited the opening words of the Declaration of Independence, which marked America's separation from Britain, in which the Founding Fathers stated that they had the power to "dissolve the present body politic" and establish a new nation. There is no provision in the U.S. Constitution allowing states to leave the Union. Currently, the White House has not responded to this. The Arizona secession petition website was launched on November 10 and was initiated by a Gilbert resident named Nicholas M. As of the 14th, more than 7,600 people had signed the petition online to "make Arizona peacefully independent from the federal government and establish a new government." Alberta is a stronghold of the Republican Party, and Romney's vote share in this state was 12 percentage points higher than Obama's. Even so, neither Obama supporter, former Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods, nor the state's governor, Brewer, who is considered anti-Obama, support the state's secession from the Union. Brewer said: "I believe that the United States is the best country in the world, and I believe that Arizona will develop better under federal management." Woods said that he would rather see people focus on improving the education level of the state or improving the quality of life at home, rather than dwelling on this matter.
