Socio Posted November 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2012 http://www.examiner.com/article/15-states-including-texas-have-filed-a-petition-to-secede-from-the-united-states-1 As of Saturday November 10, 2012, 15 States have petitioned the Obama Administration for withdrawal from the United States of America in order to create its own government. States following this action include: Louisiana, Texas, Montana, North Dakota, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Colorado, Oregon and New York. These States have requested that the Obama Administration grant a peaceful withdrawal from the United States. Seems 15 States have seen the writing on the wall and don't like what it says.

Popular Post Hasina Posted November 12, 2012 Popular Post #3 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Quote from the article: These citizen generated petitions were filed just days after the 2012 Presidential election. In other words: It ain't no thang. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsra Posted November 12, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2012 This is misleading. The States themselves have not filed to secede. Individuals in the respective States have started petitions, getting signatures, etc. The petitions are in no way official requests. To secede from the US. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud the mackem Posted November 12, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Apart from 2 or 3 the rest are South of the Mason Dixon line , Reb Country maybe ?. Get your Grey, and Blue uniforms out of storage. The Reb flag still flies in some states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_dreamer Posted November 12, 2012 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Actually I'm in one of those states, and this is news to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasina Posted November 12, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I heard Texas wants to leave USA (also I believe Lone Star deserves it) but I never heard others, in fact those took me by surprise! The majority don't (as a Texan I've got my fingers on the pulse of that, you could almost say) and Texas doesn't deserve it either, it's part of the Union (as the definition states for union: The action or fact of joining together or being joined together, esp. in a political context). Or “Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted November 12, 2012 #8 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Good God, do any of those people understand the real ramifications of succession? I get that they are upset that their guy got his butt kicked, but this is just ridiculous. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted November 12, 2012 #9 Share Posted November 12, 2012 People can get up a petition for just about anything. I doubt you would get enough support in any state to secede. We work well together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah65 Posted November 12, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2012 None of the petitions (well none of the ones I saw anyway) were written by or under the authority of the state government. It is just people with too much time on their hands. i can make a petition too, but that doesn't mean it will be recognized as a legitimate motion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supervike Posted November 12, 2012 #12 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Plus, we'd really only miss three of those states. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoIverine Posted November 12, 2012 #13 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Plus, we'd really only miss three of those states. I think it has more to do with economic collapse than it does the president. Seceding may actually be a good thing if each state can somehow come up with it's own successful / individual economic system. That is, if the fiscal cliff hammers the states as a whole.

Tmars78 Posted November 12, 2012 #14 Share Posted November 12, 2012 These people should be thankful that our country is as great as it is in regard to most things. Imagine trying this in North Korea?

I guess the northern part of Canada (the real chilly part) could use some more people. Most Canadians live within a couple hundred miles of the US don't they?

The US federal government will quash those initiatives. Washington state just managed to clear up a whole load of court time, and save themselves a whole lot of money. I live in BC. Medical use only.

Here in BC marijuana is decriminalized... has been for a long time........An individual can be caught carrying up to 28-30 grams and there is no public record unless it can be proven the individual had possession for the purpose of selling.

MissMelsWell Posted November 12, 2012 #25 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I think all the blue states should secede! Dear Red States: We're ticked off at your Neanderthal attitudes and politics and we've decided we're leaving. We in New York intend to form our own country and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and the rest of the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation and especially to the people of the new country of The Enlightened States of America (E.S.A). To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. You get Scott Desjarlais and Todd Akin. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard (Princeton, Penn, Haverford, Colgate, U of R),. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states pay their fair share. Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms. With the Blue States in hand we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90% of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the US low sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. With the Red States you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans and their projected health care costs, 92% of all US mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you. 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy b******* believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties. We're taking the good weed too. You can have that crap they grow in Mexico. Sincerely, Citizens of the Enlightened (Blue) States of America 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
