From what I can tell, citizens of these two states have started petitions to peacefully secede. As of this morning, I believe more than twenty states have citizens who have started petitions also. My name is on a petition for Nebraska as of yesterday. The person who started the petition from the columbus area and I were texting on Veterans day. We felt the celebration day for veterans would be appropriate in getting this ball rolling from here. Please feel free to sign your name and ask others to participate also. Thanks C

It was actually 15 States IIRC. Last night upon checking, signature counts were very very low. Basically it's a bunch of ppl doing typical very-pissed response, but far from critical mass.

Depending on how you interpret the Civil War, the rights of the States to leave the federal contract that is the Constitution is met by force / denied.

Yeah, and I noted that, say, Georgia has two petitions there. One with a capital G and one with a lower case

. They make'em smart down there (note, spent my teens in the South, got nothing bad to say about'em for the most part).

How about a petition to remove California, New York, Washington DC, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, Florida, New Mexico, Colorado, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia, Illinois, Nevada and Hawaii from the United States, withdraw citizenship from all the territories (like Puerto Rico, Guam, etc) and let the real United States become great again. Of course, Red counties have the option to join a close state or start a new state that doesn't give Gov't handouts.

We would have to trade Omaha to Iowa, of course.

They can have Omaha, don't even need anything back in trade.

Texas has more than twentyfive thousand signatures. And Louisiana has Eighteen thousand. Nebraska now has Twentyseven. Am I counting on this making a difference? No. Is it a first time in history item that is note worthy? Yes.

Petition for Texas to secede from US reaches threshold for White House response...

Quote

An online petition that calls for the State of Texas to withdraw from the U.S. and create its own government on Monday reached the required signature threshold to receive an official response from The White House. The petition on WhiteHouse.gov asks the Obama administration to "peacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own new government." The petition had surpassed 34,000 signatures as of Monday evening.

Just my .02, I don't think the time is right to be talking secession. Is it a possibility down the road? Yes, maybe, as a last resort. But I don't think the country is lost yet. Things will probably get worse before they get better, but I believe we can still right the ship. I'm not ready to give up and write off a large chunk of America. Secession would be a disaster for both sides.

I truly doudt enough signatures from a opinion petition will have any serious cause or affect. That being said, I will quote actor Barry Corbin and say, "I would p..s on a spark plug right now if I thought it would make a difference" ! And it has the media talking about it. Are the progressives calling us a bunch of loons like they do for everything they don`t like? Yes! But these are the same people who embraced the occupy pukes that caused so much distruction. Last I`d read, 7500 of those idiots had been arrested.I just refuse to let that nitwit John Boehner assume that the current president has my ok to cave to him.

This ought to fan the fire a little. If this site is real, which do you think our fearless leader would pay more attention to? Keep in mind the NDAA.
