Full title of petition: "Peacefully grant the State of Louisiana to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government." Posted on Drudge.
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."
"...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..."
"...and will FOREVER BE the UNITED states of America."
He sees it coming and that is his warning. Watch the vid and hear his tone.
I want to join a Texas Nationalist Party now, hopefully to ook up with some other independent former states someday
I just wish the White House would “peacefully withdraw from the U.S.”
The Red States will survive and persevere on their own.
“Them light blue helmets will be too easy to spot....”
Makes ‘em real good for sighting in. Just saying..
there will be no penalty for abuse
crack will be available along with condoms for free at every school
Been practicing on replicas for years now.
As the 3 branches are separate, but equal, notification to one is notification to all.
it doesnt appear to be a petition from the state legislature
I like it though
Louisiana has a Republican Governor, a full republican legistion. The Katrina folks moved out to other states following the hurricaine. We finally got Bov Blanco out. We went overwhelming for Romney even with the help of Tea Party volunteers. Sister Mary Landrieu is not popular here for selling us out on the Louisiana Purchase to get Obama care. Huge RIb Paul supporters here too. Gov Jindal has cleaned up a lot of long democratic policies like cutting large numbers of state jobs.

LOL! So if someone does something legal, and someone else does something illegal to stop them, does that make the illegal act legal?
However true, therefore, it may be, that the judicial department is, in all questions submitted to it by the forms of the Constitution, to decide in the last resort, this resort must necessarily be deemed the last in relation to the authorities of the other departments of the government; not in relation to the rights of the parties to the constitutional compact, from which the judicial, as well as the other departments, hold their delegated trusts. On any other hypothesis, the delegation of judicial power would annul the authority delegating it; and the concurrence of this department with the others in usurped powers, might subvert forever, and beyond the possible reach of any rightful remedy, the very Constitution which all were instituted to preserve.

The States ARE 'the parties to the compact', BTW.
Isn't it amazing how people we knew when we were younger seem so much smarter as we get older? LOL!
Yeah! An on-line petition! Those have the power to get things done!
Yeah, I know. I can dream though - right up until California is confiscated by China and Texas, New Mexico and Arizona are sold to Mexico, Hawaii is bought by Japan, Alaska sold back to Russia and Louisiana to France. Then the Indians will get back the plains and east of the Mississippi will be ceded to Kenya and administered by the UN.
I do understand all that, but “a page of history is worth a volume of logic.” The War of Northern Aggression is a huge precedent.
Why would a nation let a state just leave if it could be sold?
That matter has been settled? That was so long ago that most don’t remember so let’s go for it.
Am sure they picked the color for easy recon by fraidy-cat population. Sure didn’t take into account PO’d rednecks, well armed and motivated.
Never happen.
The same thing that officially got Abe Lincoln shooting Southward would figure here: walking off with Federal property and initiating their own shooting.
