This Should be Interesting

The Lakota Indians are essentially trying to secede from the United States. If things go their way, you'll now need a passport to travel to parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming. On the upside, you can live there tax free if you renounce your US citizenship. The Lakotas are on a tour of embassies in an effort to have foreign governments recognize their sovereignty. If I had to guess, they'll get recognition from a couple Middle Eastern countries and Venezuela just because it's a good opportunity to poke the US in the eye.

I'll be curious to see if the mainstream media picks this one up. The last time anyone tried to secede things got a little interesting.
