Now if this were only legit... i've never heard of any of those sites before, and why is this not a media frenzy if true?

Interesting... stupid (IMO), but interesting. Wonder if it'll gain any traction. Apparently they have one month to garner 25K signatures. Wonder if those sigs will now be on a "no fly" list, HAHA.

I see no press release on whitehouse.gov though and they obvisouly have more than 150 sigs as requested by those websites....

I wonder how many signatures they'd get if you didn't have to create an account with all of your personal information to do so. I'm sure the last thing most people that would consider signing the petition want to do is provide the current administration with all of their info and a signed statement that they want the state they live in to secede.

I see two problems with these people doing this (if it's legit):

1) They most likely will not get the signatures needed because of my point above.

2) The government will use it against them by saying that the people that agree with the concerns/beliefs of the people that created these petitions are a very small minority as they couldn't get the required 25K signatures.

I'm even weary about buying a new gun now that O got reelected...when they pull the list of firearms owners to come "have a chat" with them I don't want my name up at the top.

I'm all for rebellion...but this seems sort of silly to me. It's kind of like the group in the south who has been trying to secede for the last umpteen years, it's a very small minority.

Didn't this happen once before?

Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton...
