The original protest event was motivated by a roadblock instituted by the US Border Patrol that was viewed as causing inconvenience to residents and being detrimental to tourism in the area. Although the Conch Republic is not a very serious secessionist movement, many in Key West continue to identify with the concerns that motivated the original protest against what they view as an unresponsive central government taking action without considering all of the implications. At least three related protests have taken place subsequent to the original secession.

abstract	The original protest event was motivated by a roadblock instituted by the US Border Patrol that was viewed as causing inconvenience to residents and being detrimental to tourism in the area. Although the Conch Republic is not a very serious secessionist movement, many in Key West continue to identify with the concerns that motivated the original protest against what they view as an unresponsive central government taking action without considering all of the implications. At least three related protests have taken place subsequent to the original secession. Although still active in protests against the U.S. Government on occasion, the Conch Republic has since focused on tourism, due to the significant publicity generated during the original protests. The group celebrates Independence day every April 23 as part of a week-long festival of activities. The organization is a key tourism booster for the area; the group issues its own souvenir passports and postage stamps.
