The charter of the American Secession Project is simple.  We desire to place the concept of secession in the mainstream of political thought.  Our intent is to proclaim that secession is a viable and legal right and a practical solution to contemporary problems. Secondly, we desire to build a coalition of groups seeking autonomy and independence within the current United States.  Mutual support for the concept of self-determination and secession will eventually benefit all groups seeking freedom.

Secessionist come in all ethnic and cultural backgrounds colors and religious persuasions.  Secession is neither liberal nor conservative, it is a right that might be equally applied regardless of a group's persuasion. The folks that support a free California and an Independent Alaska certainly disagree on numerous issues, specifically environmental issues.  However the concept of supporting another in their bid to manage their own affairs is certainly a historic American (if not 21st century American) point of view.

As such the project has and will attempt to represent each separatist, independence and secessionist group fairly and objectively. Our purpose is to establish that self-determination is a basic right and support all groups seeking self-determination and independence
