Congratulations!!!!
You are the 100th person to post a secession thread in the past 3 days!
Seriously, you can stop beating the horse, it's dead.
This topic has been ran through the wringer in every direction and inside out. It's just more Right vs Left spouting off.
Nothing is going to come of it.
I tell you what, lets make a deal. If a State actually does proceed on this course of action, we discuss the crap out of it. But until then we all agree to let the horse rest in peace.

Now that all 50 states have a petition formed to secede from the union, this topic has hit home to most of us here in the US.
I don't believe in seceding. I just don't get it, myself. I would much rather find a way for our country to come together. Call me a "hippy" if you want. I am curious, though. Have any of you signed the petition for your state?
I genuinely want to hear from someone who gladly signed the petition. Why did you sign it? What do you hope to achieve? Do you think your state will actually secede? Also curious which state you are from if you are willing to share.

1)50 states do not, repeat, DO NOT have petitions formed. People within each of the 50 states do. Very big difference.
2)Secession WILL NOT happen. Period. Unless this small, LOUD minority wants to start a civil war (and quickly get killed), it will not happen.
3)All of this secession talk is nothing but whining. People like Ron Paul, Donald Trump, etc should be ashamed of themselves for putting this into the minds of the public. ASHAMED.

I am not sure i am all for it either, but i was thinking earlier.
If All the states get enough signatures to make this happen, it
would be a non violent way for us to take our country back.
All 50 states could succeed from the U.S. and rejoin creating
a new U.S. which would leave our current govt in charge of
D.C. only.
It would be a opportunity for us to put the country back to
where it should be, clean out the ones in charge that are
running this country into the ground and return to what we
once were.
It is a interesting concept. Where we the people would be
in charge again, instead of the few handpicked 'leaders'.

Who is going to kill them?
That would involve getting up off the couch and turning off reality tv, and stop creating threads how awesome the current government is.
You know they use to call that work.
To me seems those who want to secede have nothing to worry about with the majority of troops overseas.

I signed the oregon petition. i do not wish to secede BUT i do wish the government would pay attention and realize that we DONT LIKE WHAT ITS DOING. i did not sign it as an angry republican or a racist person but as a person that is concerned for the freedom of my future generations. TSA exams and patriot acts are not free........its like when you go to jail and get stripped of everything... I want more than anything to keep my country but not this corp. american corruption.
Can always count on you for some good ol' anti-liberal rhetoric.
