It is gaining steam the petitions to secede, but Governor Rick Perry of Texas is said to be against the idea. However the sources are all liberal-progressive sites which I don't trust.

CNN: Rick Perry doesn't support secession-petition

Now I read there is a petition to take the signers of the secession request, strip them of their citizenship and deport them. Anyone surprised?

These are not official actions of any state. The WH has a place where any citizen- any at all- can put up a petition, and anyone who finds it there can sign it if he wishes to.

On another thread I said that I could start one too, demanding that the WH become vegan, and if enough sign the thing, Obama would read it. Any of you can do the same thing, it’s like a graffiti wall, with the same weight as a graffiti wall.

If this came from a state legislature, it would be news, as it is it’s a curiosity that some are presenting as the real deal.

Can we all secede along with our Military, and then regroup around D.C.?

USv2 — fewer bugs, better features.

One question though -- except for the first CW obviously, has this ever happened before after an election?

Has the election of a president ever generated any petitions, let alone this many, in the past?

Of course he can’t be for the idea - until he is pushed to have a binding state referendum on the idea. (to put an end to this petition non-sense)

alternatively since there are thirty and a majority, they should purge the remaining 20 from the union.

30 States did NOT petition for secession. Some people signed some petitions. Big difference.

We need to close ranks, unite our fractions and fight the socialists within. The GOP should be screaming out-loud about all of these things that the Obama administration is doing. The GOP should admit publicly that apart of the democratic party seeks America as a communist region. I know it’s sounds extreme for our leaders to do this but eventually, someone has got to say it on the national stage. Now, we are watching this remake of America to continue without any substantial objections. The GOP has been to blame for a lot of this since they govern as political correctness politicians. What has this approach given us!? Get angry, go back to the principles of the country/heck to media/they will never accept us. Don’t let the media break your will or to conform you.

If this turns out to be more than the discontented murmurings of a single state, this story may get ugly.

Why? Who/What would be causing the ugliness?

If libs are behind this, it could be intended to lead to a Constitutional Convention, which the Left would just love so they could write us a new constitution.

I don’t think so, however.

Ohio does have a petition up, it was put up last evening, and currently has about 100 signatures.

Please encourage your contact lists to sign on, as well. All support is appreciated.

Yeah, Mr. Perry said it won’t happen. We need to be signing a recall petition.

I will be sure to vote one more time. It’ll be against the retard Perry. And I really do think there’s something mentally wrong with this man.
