[quote:Anonymous Coward 25120802:MV8yMDEwODE3XzMzNzg5MTM2X0E5M0ZGRjgy] [quote:Resister:MV8yMDEwODE3XzMzNzg4Njc1X0U5QTkxQURD] No offense intended Ukraine, but a lot of us here would really like to get rid of a few states that have goten way to communist already. Not crazy about the idea of adding a former soviet state. I know Ukraine isn't a communist state now, but neither are Commifornia or New Yorkistan... technically.

Original Message
In Ukraine, the former USSR republic, an initiative emerged to apply for membership in the United States of America as a new state!
"In order to improve our life directly now, and in accordance with § 6 Article 106 of the Constitution of Ukraine, please use full powers of the President of Ukraine, which provided to You of the people of Ukraine and appoint a national referendum on the accession of Ukraine to the United States according Article 4, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution: "New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union".
- reads the official website petitioning for president of Ukraine. ( [

] )
Facebook page of the initiative ( [
link to www.facebook.com
] in short time has earned almost 3500 supporters.
Initiative's website ( [
link to pravonarodu.org
] offers to join the movement and become a volunteer to gather 3 million signatures to initiate a nationwide referendum. If they manage to have those 3 million signatures - the president of Ukraine will be obliged by the law to announce the referendum.
The idea has already made its way to TV programmes and major newspapers, receiving flaming outrage of pro-Russian supporters within Ukraine and in Russia.
So, what do you think? Would you, citizens of the USA like to have Ukraine as your 51-st state?
