As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:
"...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...
Because you have enacted policies that impede our constitutional right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness by destroying our primary industry, we the people of West Virginia respectfully petition for withdrawal from the United States of America and create a New government of the people, by the people and for the people.
