"The Free City of San Francisco?"--check out:

"Amongst [the] many general abuses [the US] has
suborned and denied the sovereign will of the citizens
of the City of San Francisco in five critical ways:
Against our firm resolve to not persecute its wars of
aggression, it has utilized our taxes for these
purposes, recruited the youth of our city to fight in
its armies, moved war materials through our port,
contaminated our land, and has failed in its
acknowledged duty to recover the damages done.
Against our decision and progressive implementation of
a model system for administering medical marijuana, a
plant recognized in providing safe and effective
relief from a variety of conditions, and in opposition
to the mutual wishes of physicians and patients, it
has raided, arrested, and prosecuted individuals and
groups acting in full compliance with state and local
law.
It has chosen to stand against the general desires of
the people of San Francisco and the executive action
of its Mayor in attempting to limit marriage and its
multitude of benefits to heterosexuals to the degree
of consideration and proposal of a Constitutional
Amendment.
In violation of its own Constitution, it has
instituted the PATRIOT Act, trampling on the basic
rights of due process and privacy, further weakening
the already limited freedoms of speech, inquiry,
association, and legal representation. Without warrant
or witness, crimes against the common citizen can be
pursued under the guise of National Security, claiming
the name of justice but without evidence of cause. We,
the people of San Francisco, have repudiated this act
and its administration through the resolution of the
Board of Supervisors and the direct vote of the
people, instructing non-compliance by city civil
servants who are directed to refer PATRIOT act
requests to the Board of Supervisors for decision,
thereby placing our citizens in grave conflict between
performance of just and lawful actions and the illegal
actions of a more powerful state which assumes
sovereignty over us.
As a city that considers itself a member of the
international community and supports both universal
health care and the International Declaration of Human
Rights, the disregard of the United States of America
for the welfare of its own people stands in strong
contradiction to both our own principles of a just
society and to international understandings we share
with the remainder of the world.
We, therefore, as representatives of the United
Neighborhoods of San Francisco, in general congress
assembled, appealing to the peoples of the world and
their communities for the rectitude of our intentions,
do, in the name, and by the authority of the good
people of this city, solemnly publish and declare:
that these United Neighborhoods are, and of right
ought to be, a free and independent city; that they
are absolved from all allegiance to the US corporate
crown; and that all political connection between them
and the United States of America, is, and ought to be,
totally dissolved; and that as a free and independent
city, these United Neighborhoods have full power to
levy peace, conclude war, contract alliances,
establish commerce, and to do all other acts and
things which independent states may of right do. And
for the support of this Declaration, with a firm
reliance on the protection of Providence, we mutually
pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes and our
sacred honor.
San Francisco's Declaration of Independence"
