It would make much more sense to repeal the 17Th Amendment.

Easier, no bloodshed, no US troops...

It would put health care, control of the National Guard, local schools, local highway laws and gas tax, etc., all back under the control of the states, where it should have been all along.

Just look at what federal mandates have done to state fiscal problems.

What are you people talking about?

Bloodshed!!?? Give obuma a chance to be a Hitler? US troops??!!

An Article V Convention is authorized by Article V in the US Constitution. When two-thirds of the states submit one application for a convention, Congress must authorize it. No blood. No troops. No extra calories.

Secession does not solve every problem, it just substitutes a new more manageable set of problems for the insurmountable problems created by an out of control FedGov™.

I second that! Jefferson was sooooo right on his explanation of why the Senates was appointed by State legislatures. Their lust for power wold force the Senate to keep federal expansion at bay.
