15 States Including Texas Have Filed A Petition To Secede From The United States
Sunday, November 11, 2012 5:53

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 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.


The Texas petition reads as follows:


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.


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.

They won't. The entire west coast would remain as is.

If they blockaded trade from the seceding states, the seceding states would have to use the Gulf of Mexico and the East coast for international trade ..

Obama Reelection Spurs Wave of States’ Petitions to Secede

Adan Salazar
Prison Planet.com
November 12, 2012

Obama’s victory has encouraged several U.S. citizens to petition the government to address grievances concerning statehood, pursuant to the rights entitled under the First Amendment.

http://static.infowars.com/2012/11/i...ersticker2.jpg

Last week, a man from Louisiana drafted a petition requesting to opt his state out of the continental United States following the announcement that Obama had secured a second term as president. Now people from 19 other states have followed suit.

According to the White House Petitions website, a total of 20 states are gathering signatures on petitions that would force the Obama administration’s response to requests to “peacefully grant” states withdrawal from the U.S. and allow the creation of new state-governed bodies.

Although the signing of these petitions are mainly symbolic gestures illustrating America’s discontent with the Obama administration’s policies, they are quickly gaining signatures and popularity.

On November 7, Michael E. Slidell created Lousiana’s petition with notable inspiration from the Declaration of Independence, which states “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Texas’ petition cites the NDAA and the TSA as “blatant” abuses of Americans’ rights: “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.”

Oregon’s petition asks to “Allow Oregon to vote on and leave the Union peacefully and remain an ally to the Nation,” saying, “The Federal Government has imposed policies on Oregon that are not in Oregon’s best intrests, and we as citizens would respectively and peacably seperate ourselves from a tyranical Government who cares nothing about creating a sustainable future for our children.”

Petitioning the government is nothing new, however, this new online signature format is. According to the Terms of Participation, each petition needs 25,000 signatures within 30 days before they require a response from the Obama administration.

These were the latest numbers as of writing this. Some states have two petitions:

1. Louisiana, 13,426
2. Texas, 18,012
3. Florida, 4,987
4. Alabama, 5,156
5. North Carolina, 4,623
6. Kentucky, 3,929
7. Mississippi, 3,849;
8. Indiana, 3,876;
9. North Dakota, 2,998
10. Montana, 3,378
11. Colorado, 3,746
12. Oregon, 3,230
13. New Jersey, 2,960
14. New York, 3,425
15. South Carolina, 3,193, 2,087
16. Arkansas, 1,537
17. Georgia, 3,912, 2,604
18. Missouri, 2,085, 2,781
19. Tennessee 3,656
20. Michigan 3,230

The number of states and the speed at which these petitions are procuring signatures are clear indicators that Americans are displeased with the election results and are waking up to the current administration’s flagrant corruption.

Thanks for pointing out that the headline is wrong.

WND EXCLUSIVE

Now many states want to secede from U.S.

Movement started day after election spreading like wildfire

Published: 1 hour ago
by Drew Zahn

http://www.wnd.com/files/2012/11/ist...ll-340x226.jpg Since WND first reported that residents in the state of Louisiana were petitioning to secede from the U.S., residents in 19 more states have filed requests with the White House to peaceably break from the union.

Furthermore, the Louisiana petition has topped 14,000 signatures, more than halfway to the threshold needed after which the White House has pledged to respond.

And for Texas, one of the new states to join the fray, the signature count now tops 20,000.

The White House’s We the People website explains that once a petition reaches 25,000 signatures, it will be placed on a queue for response from the administration. The website also maintains a page for previous petitions that have received a White House response.

Joining Louisiana now are Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Michigan, New York, Colorado, Oregon, New Jersey, North Dakota, Montana, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, Florida, North Carolina, Alabama and Texas.

The Louisiana petition, which has served as a pattern for many of the new states, reads as follows: “We petition the Obama administration to: Peacefully grant the State of Louisiana to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.”

It continues, “As the Founding Fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776: ‘When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.’”

The petition concludes with a further quote from the Declaration of Independence: “‘Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government.’”

Residents of other states, however, have chosen different wording.

The Texas petition explains itself this way: “The U.S. continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the U.S. 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.”

A petitioner from Tillamook, Ore., identified by the site as Kristopher W, worded his state’s petition this way: “Allow Oregon to vote on and leave the union peacefully and remain an ally to the nation.”

He continues, “With the federal government increasing it’s size much larger than our Founding Father’s intended, and it’s abuse of power trumping over the rights of state constitutions, and the forcing of unconstitutional laws over it’s own citizens, the people of Oregon would like the chance to vote on leaving the Union immediately. The federal government has imposed policies on Oregon that are not in Oregon’s best interests, and we as citizens would respectively and peaceably separate ourselves from a tyrannical government who cares nothing about creating a sustainable future for our children. At any time that the citizens of Oregon [should feel] the federal government was no longer imposing on the Constitution, we could re-vote to again join the union under a new agreement.”

As WND reported, the first of the petitions was filed the day after the 2012 election by Michael E. (full last name not provided) of Slidell, La.

The White House created the “We the People” petition site ostensibly as a way of giving all Americans “a way to engage their government on the issues that matter to them.”

“The right to petition your government is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution,” the page reads. “We the People provides a new way to petition the Obama Administration to take action on a range of important issues facing our country. We created We the People because we want to hear from you. If a petition gets enough support, White House staff will review it, ensure it’s sent to the appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response.”

The page also explains, “You have just 30 days to get 25,000 signatures in order to get a response from the White House.”

Once the White House does draft a response, it has pledged to send it via email to everyone who has signed the petition (registration on the site with a valid email address is required to sign petitions).

Texas Secession Petition Receives 41,000 Signatures Forcing White House To Respond

http://patdollard.com/wp-content/upl...gn-600x350.jpg

Nov 12, 2012 19 Comments Pat Dollard

And growing in signatures by the minute…

http://patdollard.com/wp-content/upl...7607022551.png

Excerpted from The Hillicon Valley: Less than a week after President Obama’s reelection, an online petition calling for Texas to secede from the Union has gained enough signatures to prompt a response from the White House.

The petition is posted on “We the People,” the White House’s website for petitions. The White House has pledged to provide a formal response to all petitions that receive more than 25,000 signatures within 30 days.

The Texas secession petition was posted on Nov. 9 and already has more than 41,000 signatures.

People have posted similar petitions for dozens of other states to secede, but the Texas petition was the first to cross the threshold. Republican Mitt Romney won Texas with 57 percent of the vote.

The petition does not explicitly cite President Obama’s reelection as a reason to secede, but claims the nation continues to suffer because of the “federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending.”

The petition claims that American citizens are suffering “blatant abuses of their rights,” pointing to the Transportation Security Administration and the National Defense Authorization Act, which allows for indefinite detention of terror suspects.

The petition cites Texas’s large economy and claims that it would be “practically feasible” for the state to secede.

The writers argue that leaving the United States would protect Texans “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.”

BREAKING NEWS!!!.......20 States Have Thousands Of Petitions To Peacefully Secede From The United States.....

Posted by Michael CHILDS, Admin II on November 13, 2012 at 2:17am in Patriot Action Alerts

http://api.ning.com/files/uAUMBNt1qB...1Mn/obama4.jpg

Yahoo News,

People who fail to learn from their history are doomed to repeat it.........

The nation has never been more divided during my lifetime. We are racially divided, divided by wealth, ideologically divided, divided by sexual preference, divided by religion, city dwellers against the rural population, etc...

But In the post anger of last week's presidential election, thousands of Americans have signed petitions wanting permission for their states to peacefully secede from the United States. The petitions were filed on We the People, a government website.

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.

Of course, this is mostly a symbolic gesture. The odds of the American government granting any state permission to go its own way are on par with winning the lottery while getting hit by a meteor while seeing Bigfoot while finding gluten-free pizza that tastes like the real thing.

An article from WKRC quotes a University of Louisville political science professor who explained that these petitions aren't uncommon. Similar petitions were filed following the 2004 and 2008 elections. Still, should the petitions garner 25,000 signatures in a month, they will require an official response from the Obama administration.

From the We the People site:

The right to petition your government is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. We the People provides a new way to petition the Obama Administration to take action on a range of important issues facing our country. We created We the People because we want to hear from you. If a petition gets enough support, White House staff will review it, ensure it's sent to the appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response.

Not everybody who wants to secede is polite enough to write a petition. Peter Morrison, treasurer of the Hardin County (Texas) Republican Party, wrote a post-election newsletter in which he urges the Lone Star State to leave the Union.

"We must contest every single inch of ground and delay the baby-murdering, tax-raising socialists at every opportunity. But in due time, the maggots will have eaten every morsel of flesh off of the rotting corpse of the Republic, and therein lies our opportunity...

Why should Vermont and Texas live under the same government?

Let each go her own way in peace, sign a free trade agreement among the states and we can avoid this gut-wrenching spectacle every four years."

The remaining states for Obama’s tyrannical, despotic, evil regime to rule over are California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia - a total of 147 electoral votes this year.

California is broke already and filled with Mexican and other immigrants.

Connecticut is northern NY and home of the Jerry Springer and other wonderful, fitting shows.

Delaware = Biden.

Hawaii is mostly Asian.

Illinois without Chicago may secede also.

Maine = Maineiacs.

Massachusetts is a lost Commonwealth of Dem Lib in-breds.

Minnesota has been socialist for decades.

New Mexico might as well be Mexico.

Rhode Island is southern MA.

Vermont is another socialist state, so also is Washington. DC full of government loons.

So who cares, really, about any of them.

In the last 2 generations, instead of rearing gentlemen and ladies, we've produced Feminazis and #$%$.

Texas on the Potomac » The petition to let Texas secede from the U.S. to be reviewed by the White House

The petition to let Texas secede from the U.S. to be reviewed by the White House

Monday, November 12, 2012

Well, Texas, you have done it.
As of 3:40 p.m. ET, more than 25,000 Texans have already signed the petition on The White House website to let Texas peacefully secede from United States of America and “create its own NEW government.”
The petition, created on Nov. 9, argues for secession, stating:

According to The White House, the petition must reach 25,000 signatures within 30 days in order to be considered.
“If a petition gets enough support, White House staff will review it, ensure it’s sent to the appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response,” explains the website.
If you would like to know about the process of creating petitions on ‘We the People: your voice in our government‘ section of the White House website, watch the video below:

http://youtu.be/MdcotOjqnVI


Just last week, Rick Dunham explored differences between the U.S. and Texas that could lead to secession in his piece ‘Will Texas secede from Barack Obama’s America?’
And according to BuzzFeed’s Zeke Miller, Texas is not the only state whose residents are petitioning for secession, but is leading with the highest number of petitioners. Check out his list here.

On November 12, a follow-up petition was started by "Joshua L" of Birmingham, Alabama:

"Deport Everyone That Signed A Petition To Withdraw Their State From The United States Of America."

As of November 13, it also needs 25,000 signatures for White House consideration.

5K+ people sign petition for AZ to secede from the U.S. - FOX 10 News - Phoenix, AZ | KSAZ-TV

I have been reading about the petitions to seceded but I cannot find any answers to my questions. After the petition has the 25,000 signatures what happens next? And for instance Texas has the signatures but yet the governor is not for the petition. What would happen if the state did seceded from the Union? I want to know more about this.
Thanks

Texas has already exceeded the required number of signatories on the petition that requests secession.

Presumably, these same States will take the more meaningful step of refusing to set up “exchanges” for implementing Obamacare.

Citizens in 22 states have filed petitions to secede from the United States after Tuesday’s election

Although this is largely seen as symbolic, the filers in each state still have a month to gather 25,000 signatures to have their peaceful withdrawal from the U.S.A. considered by the president.

Secession madness! Now 40 states join petition fray

More than a half-million want their states out of the USA

Published: 19 mins agoby Drew Zahn

If any of the hundreds of thousands of people petitioning the White House in the blossoming battle over secession get their way, somebody is going to leave the union, either voluntarily … or involuntarily.

Ever since WND first reported that residents in the state of Louisiana had filed an online petition with the White House to secede from the U.S., residents in at least 39 additional states have filed similar requests with the White House to peaceably break from the union.

What’s more, a pair of contrary petitions have been added to the White House website, including one to “strip the citizenship” of those who have petitioned for secession and another calling for their deportation.

As WND reported, the first of the petitions was filed on the White House’s We the People website the day after the 2012 election by Michael E. (full last name not provided) of Slidell, La.

Since then, residents from the following states have added their own secession petitions: New Hampshire, Illinois, Idaho, Rhode Island, Virginia, Wisconsin, Alaska, Utah, Wyoming, California, Delaware, Nevada, Kansas, Ohio, South Dakota, West Virginia, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Michigan, New York, Colorado, Oregon, New Jersey, North Dakota, Montana, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, Florida, North Carolina, Alabama and Texas.

The White House website explains that once a petition reaches 25,000 signatures, it will be placed on a queue for response from the administration. The website also maintains a page for previous petitions that have received a White House response.

Some of the petitions have easily exceeded the required threshold.

The Texas petition, for example, has more than 80,000 signatures. The original Louisiana petition has topped 30,000. Florida has also crossed the threshold. Though the numbers keep climbing, the signatures for all 40 states now total at least 533,000.

The two petitions calling for the secession-sympathizers to be ousted total just more than 10,000.
To view or even sign one of the petitions, click here (registration is required).

The original Louisiana petition, which has served as a pattern for many of the new states, reads as follows: “We petition the Obama administration to: Peacefully grant the State of Louisiana to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.”

It continues, “As the Founding Fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776: ‘When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.’”

The petition concludes with a further quote from the Declaration of Independence: “‘Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government.’”

Residents of other states, however, have chosen different wording.

The Texas petition explains itself this way: “The U.S. continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the U.S. 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.”
A petitioner from Tillamook, Ore., identified by the site as Kristopher W, worded his state’s petition this way: “Allow Oregon to vote on and leave the union peacefully and remain an ally to the nation.”

He continues, “With the federal government increasing its size much larger than our Founding Father’s intended, and its abuse of power trumping over the rights of state constitutions, and the forcing of unconstitutional laws over its own citizens, the people of Oregon would like the chance to vote on leaving the Union immediately. The federal government has imposed policies on Oregon that are not in Oregon’s best interests, and we as citizens would respectively and peaceably separate ourselves from a tyrannical government who cares nothing about creating a sustainable future for our children. At any time that the citizens of Oregon [should feel] the federal government was no longer imposing on the Constitution, we could re-vote to again join the union under a new agreement.”

One of the contrary petitions reads this way: “Strip the Citizenship from Everyone who Signed a Petition to Secede and Exile Them.”

It continues, “Mr. President, please sign an executive order such that each American citizen who signed a petition from any state to secede from the USA shall have their citizenship stripped and be peacefully deported.”

The White House created the “We the People” petition site ostensibly as a way of giving all Americans “a way to engage their government on the issues that matter to them.”

“The right to petition your government is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution,” the page reads. “We the People provides a new way to petition the Obama Administration to take action on a range of important issues facing our country. We created We the People because we want to hear from you. If a petition gets enough support, White House staff will review it, ensure it’s sent to the appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response.”

The page also explains, “You have just 30 days to get 25,000 signatures in order to get a response from the White House.”

Once the White House does draft a response, it has pledged to send it via email to everyone who has signed the petition (registration on the site with a valid email address is required to sign petitions).

Secession madness! Now 40 states join petition fray

To Secede or to Deport? The Battle of the Petitions

November 13, 2012 04:30 PM EST

Petitions to Secede have been flooding the White House Website. In the meantime, some new petitions are asking that anyone who signs such a petition be deported.

As reported by the Daily Caller, 49 of the 50 States in America have residents who have posted their petitions on the site. Vermont is the only state without a petition. Probably not for long.

As could be expected in a highly polarized America, a backlash has formed against the petitioners and new petitions have been also posted, asking the president to deport those who sign secession petitions.

http://towleroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00...7bac970d-800wiImage Source: Towleroad
One such petition reads, in part, "please sign an executive order such that each American citizen who signed a petition from any state to secede from the USA shall have their citizenship stripped and be peacefully deported." Just a guess, but the author does not think that those who seek to remove themselves from the ridiculously wasteful and growing federal government have deportation in mind.

One of the states with the most signatures for secession is Texas, of course. However, the Governor of Texas didn't seem too keen on the idea. His press secretary released the following statement:
Gov. Perry believes in the greatness of our Union and nothing should be done to change it. But he also shares the frustrations many Americans have with our federal government.

Do you think that states should be able to file for secession?

Texas Secession Petition Racks Up More Than 80,000 Signatures, Qualifies For White House Response

A petition for Texas secession has qualified to receive a White House response.
As of Tuesday evening, the petition -- which asks for the peaceful withdrawal of the state of Texas from the union -- had racked up more than 81,000 signatures. (Only 25,000 are needed to elicit an official response from the Obama administration.)

According to Politico, the leader of the Texas secession movement said the president's reelection last week was a “catalyzing moment for his organization’s efforts to quit the United States."

“I am completely aware that Election Day was a catalyzing moment, but I do not believe that the underpinnings of this are solely about Barack Obama,” Daniel Miller, president of the Texas Nationalist Movement told the political news website. “This cake has been baking for a long time -- it’s the Obama administration that put the candles on the cake and lit it for us.”

The Texas petition reads:

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.

The support for the petition has surged in the last couple of days despite Texas Gov. Rick Perry's calls to support the union.

On Monday, The Huffington Post reported that the governor's press secretary, Catherine Frazier, said that Perry "believes in the greatness of our Union and nothing should be done to change it." Frazier added, however, that the governor "also shares the frustrations many Americans have with our federal government."

The Lone Star State is not exactly alone in its sentiments.

As an earlier Huffington Post report notes, residents in more than 40 states have filed secession petitions to the Obama administration's "We the People" program, which is featured on the White House website, in the last few days.

Though none has come even close to Texas' number, many petitions -- including those of Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee -- have attracted more than 20,000 supporters. Louisiana's petition has garnered more than 30,000 signatures.

“As the economy worsened, people began to ask, ‘What if? Why do we need the middle man? Do we believe that we should have more layers of government than we absolutely need? Could Texas govern itself?’ I think really that self-determination is kind of the underpinning to all of this -- the ability to provide Texas solutions to Texas problems,” Miller told Politico of the state's aspirations for independence.

Miller has not been the only vocal and visible proponent of a Texas secession. Last week, Peter Morrison, a Texas GOP official, called for an "amicable divorce" from the United States.

"Why should Vermont and Texas live under the same government?" Morrison, a treasurer of the Hardin County Republican Party, wrote in a post-election edition of his Tea Party newsletter. "Let each go her own way."

Morrison went on to express exasperation at the "maggots" who backed Obama, specifically accusing non-white voters of voting for the president on an "ethnic basis."
Despite the loud calls for Texas independence, however, the Daily Caller notes that not all Texans are too keen to secede from the U.S.

On Monday, “Caleb M” from Austin, Texas, launched a "We the People" petition of his own, asking the Obama administration to peacefully grant the city of Austin permission to "withdraw from the state of Texas" and to remain part of the United States.

The petition has about 1,400 signatures so far.

As Robert Wilonsky at The Dallas Morning News noted on Monday, however, it seems that no matter how much support Texas' secession petition gets, the state's bid for independence is likely not on the cards.

White House Forced to Confront State Petitions to Secede? (Updated)


http://consciouslifenews.com/wp-cont...hony-Freda.jpg Liberty Upended - Anthony Freda

Joe Wright

The White House website has been bombarded with petitions that have mushroomed to 34 states moving to secede. The first petition came in from Louisiana the day after Obama's re-election, and since then a chorus of others have issued their grievances.

Now, under White House rules stated in its "We the People" program, if 25,000 people sign on by December 7th, a response must be issued. Just a few days after submitting, that number has been reached by the petitions from Texas, Louisiana, and Georgia -- with Texas closing in on 90,000.

Here is the current list of state totals:

1. Alaska (5,306)
2. Alabama (24,721)
3. Arizona (16,016)
4. Arkansas (17,667)
5. California (8,772)
6. Colorado (16,879)
7. Delaware (5,896)
8. Florida (21,129)
9. Georgia (25,57
10. Indiana (15,807)
11. Kansas (5,396)
12. Kentucky (14,596)
13. Louisiana (31.544)
14. Michigan (15,241)
15. Mississippi (14,432)
16. Missouri (15,036)
17. Montana (10,856)
18. Nebraska (4,469)
19. Nevada (7,677)
20. New Jersey (11,299)
21. New York (6,110)
22. North Carolina (23,715)
23. North Dakota (9,626)
24. Ohio (5,187)
25. Oklahoma 6,559)
26. Oregon (11,819)
27. Pennsylvania (5,499)
28. South Carolina (18,416)
29. South Dakota (4,046)
30. Tennessee (24,270)
31. Texas (88,913)
32. Utah (3,844)
33. West Virginia (4,660)
34. Wyoming (6,225)

Will the White House respond, or ignore the will of the people as it routinely does on the issues that matter most? One Florida resident is making national news; former Navy serviceman, Philip Hoezel, who turned his flag upside down in protest on Veterans Day.

While his neighbors berated him for the blasphemy, and for "hurting a lot of people's feelings;" as a Navy man he would know that the traditional significance of the upside-down flag is to indicate a ship in its final moments of severe distress before it sinks -- a ship of state, for instance. It is a form of peaceful protest that is increasing in numbers and is a statement as symbolic as these petitions.

Activist Post: White House Forced to Confront State Petitions to Secede? (Updated)

White House ‘secede’ petitions reach 675,000 signatures, 50-state participation

If Texas was not part of the U.S. all federal agents would have to be removed from the border and Texas would have to pay for all of it's own border protection.

States that withdraw from the union would no longer have the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force or Coast Guard to defend them. They would be on their own to defend against the invasion by Mexican cartels.

Seriously did any one think he would go along with it..

Perry: Texas Will Not Secede From US

Posted on November 14, 2012

http://cdn.conservativebyte.com/wp-c.../152047106.jpg
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has one message for the tens of thousands of Texans calling for secession from the United States: The state will not secede.

More than 76,000 people have signed a petition on the “We the People” White House website for Texas to withdraw from the Union and start a new government after President Barack Obama was re-elected.

“The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. … 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,” the petition states.


Perry spokesperson Catherine Frazier tells CBS News that the governor “shares the frustrations many Americans have with our federal government,” but “believes in the greatness of our Union and nothing should be done to change it.”

----------------------------------------------

If every legal citizen in Texas, including every member of Texas government signed the petition, Perry would still refuse to secede.

But at that point, Texas would cease being a state of the Union, and would therefore be required to elect their own Texas President.

I don't think Perry would win that one either.

This is not true. If Texas seceded from the Union, every single asset of the Texas National Guard would then belong to Texas TO DEFEND IT'S SOVEREIGN BORDER from invasion.

Texas would loose all U.S. Border Patrol Agents and U.S. I.C.E. Agents.

They would have to be replaced by state employees of some type.

It would No Longer be the State of Texas

but the Country of Texas

Sounds like a nice place to live and defend

I think there would be a massive boom of New Residents from disenfranchised citizens from the other 49 broke states begging for citizenship

I dont think there would be a problem at all in defending the southern border in Texas... all of the Illegal Alien and drug traffic would flow to the other border states in massive numbers

-----------------------------------

The State of Texas has been BEGGING for physical, armed, military interdiction (with deadly force authorized) at the Texas border for decades.

The Federal Government has DENIED Texas from defending itself to effectively STOP heavily armed bands of renegade Mexican Army thugs and Mexican drug cartels from not only breaching the Texas border, but has held them off from doing so.

With Texans physically protecting it's own border as it's own SOVEREIGN NATION, and unimpeded by the Federal Government, they could secure their border within 72 hours.

At the rate the Federal Government is moving to protect Texas (and all other states) from being overrun with hostile invaders from Mexico, it would take 720 years (e.g., it would never happen).

Texas is under invasion ..

Rancher: Linn Area a Corridor for Illegal Activity

Matter of fact

I think there would be a massive boom in the influx of capital to the COUNTRY of Texas

The Country of Texas would not be able to keep up the demand for new housing for all of the new citizens

that would be the only down fall

I would say a 15 - 20 Million New Residents would be a conservative number and as the disenfranchised citizens from the other 49 broke states seen how the country of Texas was booming other states would try to secede from the broke union as well or watch the country of Texas grow while their residents eat each other and fight off the Illegal Alien invasion by themselves

Matter of fact 2

The Country of Texas would have their own currency

I would invest my devalued dollars in the Country of Texas; just for the mear fact of trying to recoop my losses in a devalued dollar

A third world country to the North, South, West and and open waters to the East for exporting goods to other nations that could afford their goods ... North America would only be able to afford food from Texas and even that would be minimal as the dollar and Peso continue to go down

Mean while food and goods Imported from Mexico and America would be DIRT CHEAP ... from a devalued dollar and Peso

Illegal Aliens from Texas would flock to the North and Western states that want improved land scaping services; however that might break the state and North American bank's paying for HUD Housing and food stamp services as well as paying for health care
