Many states have petitioned the Obama Administration to allow them to secede from the United States, but some of us actually LIKE being Yankees.
Some of us LIKE having civil rights, fair housing, equal opportunities, etc.
Some of us don't even mind having a president who is not a white, Christian man of European descent; in fact, some of us even LIKE the idea that those of us who are not white Christian males of European descent might have a chance to become the President of the United States of America.
We The People love to be American.
Sincerely,
The Majority of Americans
