John Lennon's response to the announcement of his deportation.

From the documentary: The us vs John Lennon.

"We announce the birth of a conceptual country, Newtopia. Citizenship of the country can be obtained by a declaration of your awareness of Newtopia. Newtopia has no land, no boundaries, no passports, only people. Newtopia has no laws other than cosmic. All people of Newtopia are ambassadors of the country. As two ambassadors of Newtopia, we ask for diplomatic immunity and recognition in the United Nations of our country and its people"
