A petition to the President of the United States from a bar on Fifth Avenue and 8th Street in Park Slope, er, Brooklyn.

“Due to the changing nature of the neighborhood and the fact that we are beginning to take offense when potential customers come into the bar, look around them with disdain, and leave, immediately, we the people of Jackie’s 5th Amendment at 404 5th Avenue request the permission of the United States Government to peacefully secede from Park Slope and become our own neighborhood, to be tentatively known as ‘Brooklyn.”
