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.
