Secession petitions filed in 20 states

Asked By: SilenceEvermore 18-21 6 months ago

"States with citizens filing include Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Oddly, folks from Georgia have filed twice. Even stranger, several of the petitions come from states that went for President Barack Obama.
The petitions are short and to the point. For example, a petition from the Volunteer State reads: "Peacefully grant the State of Tennessee to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government." Of all the petitions, Texas has the most signatures so far, with more than 23,000."

Thoughts o.o? Can we keep it civil without insulting people, please?

The only three States that could possibley secede would be New York, Colorado and Texas (two of which are blue states).. the rest spend more in Federal funds then they pay in federal taxes, and guess what they are all red states. hmmm

Far be it from me to presume people would be able to comment without taking inane jabs at Republicans.

When rats start getting off the boat you've got to wonder if they know something.

Good luck with that. sounds like only a handful of nuts and clowns to me For a movement to be successful, it has to have popular support. yours doesn't we know you are Republican.
