Not everyone in Oregon is happy with the re-election of President Obama and they want the Beaver State out of the United States. There is, according to the Oregonian, a man in Tillamook by the name of Kristopher W. (no last name), and he has sent a petition to the White House demanding that the state be allowed to peaceably secede from the union. The paper reports the fist petition was sent in November 10th, with 4482 signatures. A second petition had 5033 signatures including people from Lake Oswego, Central Point and, yes, Portland. Petitions have come in from 11 other states. The petition alleges the federal government's abuse of power.
