States Petition to Secede from the Union
Re: States Petition to Secede from the Union
1. It's small groups of people within each state, not the state government.
2. If they want to secede, let them. It worked out so well for them the last time they seceded.
jAp, you might enjoy this.

My mother and I were discussing this on the phone tonight. My solution was for those states to hang tight, remain the USA, and just have Canada annex the rest. That way, all the liberals don't have to move to Canada, and all the conservatives don't have to move to Texas. It'll all work out in the end.
Lol. I will be C&Ping that on many statuses. Let's see how many unfriendings I get.
May I steal this, as well??? justAphase, I am so glad I found someone like you. I'm a liberal texan and I HATE all the people like this that speak for everyone in the state!! They just make us all look ignorant.
They can succeed and take their text book buying power with them. No biggie.
But honestly, you would think this is the first election that didn't go people's way.
This is a pretty common misconception. Our state constitution has no provision for secession, it only says that we are only bound to the Constitution of the United States (not the President or Congress or anything else). Most everyone in Texas believes we have the ability to secede whenever we want, but we can only do that if other world leaders recognize us as an independent nation, including the POTUS. We have no more right to secede than any other state.
Ah, ok. Smarty pants
I'm willing to sign this petition though...

But more importantly, what would happen to America's Team the Dallas Cowboys?
