Since WND first reported that residents in the state of Louisiana were petitioning to secede from the U.S., residents in over 30 more states have filed requests with the White House to peaceably break from the union.
Furthermore, the Louisiana petition has topped 27,000 signatures, exceeding the threshold needed after which the White House has pledged to respond.


And for Texas, one of the new states to join the fray, the signature count now tops 60,000.
The White House’s We the People website explains that once a petition reaches 25,000 signatures, it will be placed on a queue for response from the administration. The website also maintains a page for previous petitions that have received a White House response.
Joining Louisiana now are Alaska, Utah, Wyoming, California, Delaware, Nevada, Kansas, Ohio, South Dakota, West Virginia, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Michigan, New York, Colorado, Oregon, New Jersey, North Dakota, Montana, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, Florida, North Carolina, Alabama and Texas.

So is this the political equivalent of taking your ball and going home?

Except they have no balls.

25k seems like a really low bar considering the Internet.

Roughly the membership size of NAMBLA wants to secede? Not sure thoughts are warranted

So what does this involve? A group of people who do not want to find themselves governed and want a free country so to say or just the Democrat party?

Apparently many of the votes are coming from bots set up by just a few people.

Because secession worked out soooooooooo well last time.



As much as I hate the direction in which this country is going, there are *very* few instances where I would justify secession. The reelection of Barack Obama is not one of them.

This is nothing more than a big hissy fit from the right, anyway.

How many of these people have tried to run over their spouses with a car?

[alexey]

No... but thanks for asking. A+ for good manners.

Rick Perry advocated sucession after Obama won his first term in office. Mistakenly thinking Texas had a get out of the union free card, which turns out they didn't. But then Rick Perry ran for President, so I don't think he was very serious when he suggested succession...

Bots are people too.

i'd love to watch these adult babies run a country of their own into the ground overnight. the only thing keeping me from getting behind the plan is the children that would be born there.

Well now, I guess it is true that when God closes a door he opens a window! We were all so worried about how we were going to place the damned 51st star now that Puerto Rico wants to be a state. Now we can just grant one of these states it's wish and remain at a nice even 50! I say we cut Arizona free.

Well we used to call countries run by folks like this Bannana Republics... coarse then south america kind of cleaned up it's act. Then we had the whole uganda and rowanda fiasco...
