15 States including Texas have filed a petition to secede from the United States – update: now up to 35 states
under reported views and news
will barack obama follow the example of Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev, the last soviet emperor (party chairman, warlord, whatever) of the USSR, who facilitated the end of the cold war and the breakup of the soviet union? if you didn’t vote in the election, here’s an opportunity to tell the federal government what you think of them. if this thing gets discussed across the blogosphere, how will the homeland security apparatus respond?
this isn’t about states rights, or who won what election – this is a referendum on a federal government uninterested in what its citizens have to say about what they expect from their lives.

A Failed Formula for Worldwide War –
interesting times…
now that the petitions have passed the threshold for showing up on the active listings, i can verify that there are numerous petitions which read much like the example from texas. hey – why the hell not?
from the examiner:
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.
These citizen generated petitions were filed just days after the 2012 Presidential election.
Louisiana was the first State to file a petition a day after the election by a Michael E. from Slidell, Louisiana. Texas was the next State to follow by a Micah H. from Arlington, Texas.
The government allows one month from the day the petition is submitted to obtain 25,000 signatures in order for the Obama administration to consider the request.
As of 12:46 am, Sunday, signatures obtained by Louisiana, 7,358; Texas, 3,771; Florida, 636; Georgia, 475; Alabama, 834; North Carolina, 792; Kentucky, 467; Mississippi, 475; Indiana, 449; North Dakota, 162; Montana, 440; Colorado, 324; Oregon, 328; New Jersey, 301 and New York, 169. Many more States are expected to follow.
A petition is not searchable at WhiteHouse.gov until 150 signatures have been obtained. It is the originator’s responsibility to obtain these signatures.
The Texas petition can be reviewed and/or signed by clicking here.
text of the petition:
we petition 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 US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.
