Online Petition - Language Suggestions?

I’m tweaking a petition plugin at NHExit.us. Using our own site instead of change.org or whatever protects us from a big tech takedown.

Please don’t share it just yet - wanted to post it here first to get feedback on the language:

“I want New Hampshire to peacefully declare independence from the United States and become a sovereign nation.”

Thoughts?

You can test the app at :

Off the cuff, I guess if it were me writing it I’d say: “I would prefer that New Hampshire govern itself rather than be governed by Washington.”

Same. And when submitting to put out a block of random characters with an OK button.

Thanks guys - got the signatures to show up, but still haven’t figure out how to get rid of the garbage notification box. Grr. I thought this thing was working.

The petition software updated and now no longer has the random garbage error thing when submitting. It now goes to a page that thanks the person for signing and directs them to a page which lists other things they can do to help: Thank you for signing the NHexit petition! | NH Exit

Now over 65 signatures!

did you find my name on the list?

Yeah, you’re the #2 signer. The app only shows the last 50 on the site, apparently.
