This petition requests that the Federal Government let the people of North Carolina go since "ya'll want to put us back in chains." Gotta admit, it's a catchy phrase and I'm sure the original author has no qualms with me using it.
So allow NC to leave the USA so that we won't be compelled to see our taxes used to bail out other States with no fiscal discipline.
There are other reasons but I won't take up your time; am sure you've got a tee time to get to.
