Seven states have exceeded the petition limits that call for an administration response. Others will join them shortly.
Of course no one believes the statists in the White House would ever say 'go ahead, see you later". It will take a cataclysmic event like a financial collapse to get the ball rolling and for legislatures of states that oppose Obama's socialistic fascism to declare their state's independence.
Bring it on.
Just so they understand, we will not pay alimony and child support. Looks like they’re going to have to get a job.
LOL Puerto Rico should reconsider their vote; they may end up being the United State of America.
If we only did this simply as a way to provide our children and grandchildren with the freedom and opportunity we had as children...to be able to grow up proud of their nation, secure as they lay in their beds at night, and safe to play in their neighborhoods everyday...that alone would be more than sufficient reason to endure virtually any pain or loss.
We still have time to save those things about America that are worth saving; those things that drew generations of immigrants to risk everything for the chance to one day be called An American. Liberalism is a proven gangrenous infection on the soul, on the heart, and the country. It has destroyed our school system, destroyed our economy, and is in the process of destroying our military and our medical system. We have one of two choices: we either separate ourselves from the infection or we suffer and die along with the infected part.
Is the sucessionist expression a faint precurser of a coming Social War?

Perfect Newspeak! Petitions are in protest of Federal oppression vis-a-vis tax slavery, i.e. we work so Obama supporters can 'share' the product. But he reverses the roles, and infers that we protest because we want our slaves back. Satan is the father of lies and its amazing how well his socialist followers apply his talents.
Secession petitions are a waste of time. The only way this can gain any momentum is for state legislatures to pass laws telling the fedgov to pound sand. We need an umbrella alliance of red states to organize and focus the effort. Get enough state legislatures to join the alliance and pass laws telling fedgov to shove it and maybe something can happen, but forget anything coming of it without action by state governments.
If the desire to secede widespread is its expression a statement by many of our fellow citizens that they can no longer live with the left?
Is the expression of the desire to secede a faint precursor of a coming Social War?
It’s symbolic, but I’m having fun with it.
Can I sign a petition for kicking out certain states?
Big mistake to even entertain these ideas...
Okay, so the Kremlin sent in legions of communists to America to “reeducate” the American public and teach them to embrace socialism. It worked beyond their wildest dreams. Now there’s even talk of secession in the air, which is a HUGE win for the Kremlin.
Question: Does anyone really believe they’ll stop there? No, they’ll go after the red states next in exactly the same way; send in socialists to reeducate the children of the United Red States of America and eventually break it up too. And so on, until there’s nothing left.
We will not secede. We will not cede one inch to these bastards. I’d rather die. It’s all or nothing. They can go. But they can’t take even a handful of soil with them. C’mon, we fought a civil war over this. It ain’t happening. Don’t even talk about it. Don’t even think it.

These things were once a reality in America. They are no longer.
It’s barely been a week since President Obama’s re-election, and some people can’t believe, truly can’t believe, that things didn’t go their way.
Oh....it will be going our way! Don’t worry asshat! You libs always do yourselfs in!
I’m not interested in seceding. But I would be interested in discussing the turnover of San Fransicko and other commie areas to the Red Chinese in return for debt write-off.
So SF Chronicle editor, you are calling people who believes in the CONSTITUTION knuckleheads?? No, A$$wipes, knuckleheads are LIBERALS and moderates who let MARXISTS like Barry STOMP on the constitution!!
I'm sorry to report that this not-so-illustrious group includes California, where nearly 7,000 citizens have signed a petition quoting the Declaration of Independence and insisting on the right to set up their own government.
7,000 people signed in CA? I guess JimRoberson knows 7,000 good Americans in CA!!
This is clearly part of a movement to draft all the states, and Lord knows that there are certainly enough foolish people in each and every state in the union who would be willing to put their name on anything at all. But seeing as this country did fight the most bloody war in its history over the secession of the chattel slavery-holding states, it's sad to see that those are the same states that currently boast the most popular secession petitions.
Louisiana (around 30,000 signatures). Florida (about 24,000). South Carolina (around 28,000). Alabama (nearing the 23,000 mark). And last but never least, Texas, which rates as the state most likely to secede at more than 80,000
Are you morons at sanFranChronicle trying to say that we want to bring SLAVERY back?? No, we are ENSLAVED by the GOVERNMENT!!!
The deadbeats would flock to the north and the productive few left up north would flock south. Then pop some corn, sit back, and watch the “zombie Apocalypse" up north unfold! They`d soon be eating their way thru the leftists like a horde of locusts on a wheat crop!
It might take a financial collapse but it wouldn’t hurt to have some governors and state legislatures with some balls.
The idiots at the SF Chronicle are too damn stupid to realize that California is a 21st century slave state.
I understand the reason but not the process.
What good is sending 25,000 signatures from a state to the WH?
Any decent size state should be able to get 25,000 signatures.
How do you get from there to succession?
Doesn’t the state legislature have to declare independence?
