I for one know many people on here disagree with the federal go remnant being in our lives, especially these days. Here is a way to make it stop.

Did this past election just show the majority of voters went DEMOCRAT?
This would not be a good thing IMO......
Talk of secession in different States seems to follow every election. Good luck getting traction on this. Out of curiosity, has anyone ever seen a petition filed on whitehouse.gov go anywhere?
I noticed most of the signers of this particular petition don't even live in CO.
We could be like Switzerland.
Yeah, what's up with that? We should start a petition to get CA and NY to peacefully secede.Quote:

Secession is perfectly legal still, but the precedent of the civil war established that it cannot be undertaken unilaterally. To secede, a state would have to get congress to approve the cession, or do it by constitutional convention (the US constitution, with 3/4 of state legislatures approving the amendment, etc).
Yep, don't see that happening...Quote:

There aren't many things I take more seriously than an internet petition.
