15 states in all I believe submitted petitions with enought signatures.

The thing is, who gave the White House, or even the Government itself, permission to decide what our "Rights" are?

According to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution our "Rights" are "Inalienable". Therefore they are "Rights" which we have from birth and are without question, because they are given to us by the AllMighty.

All "Rights" are given to the people as a whole and not to a Government. Those "rights" which a Government exercises are only theirs because they are on Loan. The United States Constitution specifically outlines which "rights" are given to the Government in order for it to function in its job of Governance. Certain "rights' are specificied as Rights which the Government has no authority to interfear with. Those "Rights" are called the "Bill of Rights".

One of those "Rights" is the 9th Amendment which states,

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

One of those "Unenumerated Rights" given to the people under that 9th Amendment is the "Right to end a Contract'. All Business retain that right to terminate a contract whenever that Contract ceases to be in thier best interests.

There is no article within the Constitution which makes the people of the several States the slaves of the United States Government unable to terminate that Contract when it become detrimental to their best interest.

The American Civil War supposedly was fought to end slavery. Yet under this attitude of the absolute powers of the Federal Government of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, it in fact enslaved more people to that Government than it ever freed from the southern plantations. Especially when it determines that a supposedly Free people can not act in their own interests.

It doesn't matter now anyway. Secession may not have been the most desirable of measures, but it would have been the peaceful way to rebuild and start a new country simular to what we have lived under. Like a bad marriage we need some way to file for a divorce from these who wish to govern over us.

Does it make sence to say that you can not divorce a spouce that you can no longer get along with? How would you like to live in that house under such an arrangement if you did not have that "right" to divorce? Secession was the South's divorce filing in 1860 and it is still our right today. Even if the White House and Government does not wish for such a divorce to take place. They have no right, under the 9th Amendment, to deny us our "right" to protect our own self interest, even if they think it is wrong.
