From states across the country, Americans have filed petitions on the White House Web site seeking to secede from the union and form new state governments.
Petitions have been filed for Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
White House will respond to any petition that receives 25,000 or more signatures within 30 days.
The petitions from Louisiana and Texas, however, are approaching the threshold for a response.
