I do not expect this to hit American news. However it can be found at democraticunderground.com, at the blog for the Unapologetic Mexican, at New Zealand's Yahoo News, somewhere at The Raw Story (will have to hunt there), and a mention at Ran Prieur's blog with the promise to post more about it. The mere possibility of this happening is just delicious... according to the UM's blog:

"We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us," long-time Indian rights activist Russell Means told a handful of reporters and a delegation from the Bolivian embassy, gathered in a church in a run-down neighborhood of Washington for a news conference.
      A delegation of Lakota leaders delivered a message to the State Department on Monday, announcing they were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties they signed with the federal government of the United States, some of them more than 150 years old.
      They also visited the Bolivian, Chilean, South African and Venezuelan embassies, and will continue on their diplomatic mission and take it overseas in the coming weeks and months, they told the news conference...
      The new country would issue its own passports and driving licenses, and living there would be tax-free -- provided residents renounce their US citizenship, Means said.
      The treaties signed with the United States are merely "worthless words on worthless paper," the Lakota freedom activists say on their website.
      The treaties have been "repeatedly violated in order to steal our culture, our land and our ability to maintain our way of life," the reborn freedom movement says.

If in fact they succeed in this (and the UN's recent decision makes it greatly possible, as well as their reaching out for the recognition from other national embassies) then they could easily end up beginning one hell of a revolution... and possibly a civil war. But if it ends up a peaceful transition (yeah right, but here's hoping) then the United States could be in for one hell of a wake up call, and I'm seriously hoping this ends up coming true. I'm quite curious about how many of my SerpentStone family would want to support this as well as my friends.

But since nobody's really talking about it in the US, we in the Blogosphere have a responsibility to make sure they're heard. That means you. Get busy. Get behind them. Make this a reality. This is your chance to make a stand. Pass this one on. Imagine not just giving them their country back, but joining them on it. Would you give up your US citizenship for this?

It's seriously something to think about.
