Los Angeles -
A group of Californians has submitted yet another initiative to secede from the United States as the country is gripped by one of its worst political crisis in recent history.
As petitions by state residents wanting to secede from the United States pour in, so do petitions in opposition of those who want to withdraw from the Union, some going so far as calling for loss of citizenship and deportation.
Reports say that as of Sunday, November 11, 2012, Americans in 18 states have petitioned the Obama administration for secession from the union to "create [their] own new government." The petitions come within days of the presidential election.
