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.

Yeah, what's up with that? We should start a petition to get CA and NY to peacefully secede.

We could be like Switzerland.

I heard reports of some 27 states wanting to do this... I agree, probably nothing will come of it, just frustration being directed to one extreme. Thus far, searching around, Michigan and Louisiana as well have these petitions. After seeing last night though, Michigan only had 3 signatures when I first saw it.

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...

If this Country were truely free, a state could just walk away. Yet the Confederation of states has been taken over by an over powered central government.

Lol... Asking Uncle Sam "Pretty please, may we secede?" Is DUMB... The answer is yes, but Uncle Sam WILL kill you. (See: Civil War)

And what a LOT of folks don't realize, is that by signing the petition, they have given the Feds/Big Brother ALL of their personal information (name, address, IP address, etc) AND THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE IT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE SERVER.

DHS, FBI, Big Sister, etc are OVERJOYED! They now have a flawless list of over half a million "right wing extremists" to deal with at their liesure. Thanks to the "patriot" act their beloved republicans wrote, status as any sort of "extremist" means you COMPLETELY waive ALL Constitutional rights.

If you sign, then you are an idiot, and expect to have a visit sometime in the future from Mr. Federal Agent. Or, die in a mysterious car crash.

If you want your state to secede from the union, as it IS the RIGHT AND DUTY of a state to secede, if the Union does not have its interests at heart, then you must convince the Legislature of THAT STATE to DECLARE secession, and then DO IT. And it normally involves rifles.

The petitions are merely an ill guided feel good measure, that is going to get folks a LOT of unwanted attention from Mr. Fed.
