Hi all, Please sign and spread the word!
We need 23,230 signatures by December 24, 2012, in order for the US government to take the petition seriously. Thanks, Yosem http://wh.gov/I0EV WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: Support the People of Catalonia in their effort to decide their own future The People of Catalonia, the Northeastern region of Spain, would like to hold a referendum on whether or not they would like to become independent from the Spain. The Catalan people have their own distinct language, culture and traditions that are not being respected by the Spanish government; many Catalans do not feel Spanish, but rather a Catalan citizen without their own State. In 2012 during their national holiday, 1.5 million people took to the streets of Barcelona to demand independence, yet the Spanish government simply ignored them. In adherence to the guiding principles of our own Declaration of Independence, we ask the United States government to stand with the Catalan people's right to decide a future that is best for them through a fair and democratic referendum.
