An Alabama man who started a petition calling for the White House to allow his state to peacefully secede from the Union says heâs angry that the government forced him to close his topless car wash. Disaffected Americans have created hundreds of âWe the Peopleâ petitions on the White House website following President Barack Obamaâ re-election earlier this month. There have been petitions from each of the 50 states requesting permission to secede. WKRG-TV managed to track down Derrick Belcher, the man responsible for the petition calling for Alabamaâs secession. Gawker noted on Thursday that the 45-year-old trucking company manager was really just upset because his Euro Details topless car wash had been shut down by the government. But according to Al.com, it was the Mobile city government â not the federal government â that arrested Belcher and charged him with obscenity after the state of Alabama enacted an anti-obscenity law in 1998. âThe government ripped my business away, and now theyâre choking America to death with rules and regulations,â the secessionist explained. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/11/...ames-government-for-closing-topless-car-wash/
abortion on demand is a right, partial birth abortion(murder) is okay because it's convenient but a topless car wash goes too far. REALLY?
