Article V is less of a long shot is much to be preferred.
If succession succeeds it marks the beginning of a host of problems as each remnant is weaker and more vulnerable but if Article V produces real reform it marks the dawn of a better day.

Im down. Been ready for a looong time... Waiting for enough of you folks to catch up.
Blah, blah, blah.
It’s been TRIED— and did not work out all that well.
Have you noticed just how TINY the deep-blue areas controlled by the bad guys are? That’s what I call a target-rich environment for our side.
I’ll vote for rebellion and regime change, meself.
Faster, quicker, neater and less bloodshed.

Let God do it. When He gets ready, all of the guns, military equipment, men and women who would crush your rebellion will themselves be swept away. The hand is now writing on the wall, but they can not see it.
Seems like we have been doing pretty good for ourselves just by showing up and voting.
I do not believe it will be allowed this time either.
Ted Cruz is a last chance. If we can place him in the White House I think we can start to turn things around.
Drop the word secession, add the word impeachment, help the backbones of Washingtonian republicans to grow, and count me in.

State by state secession is the only way to go. The state legislatures have an obligation to nullify the Federal govt when they over step their bounds,even to the point of secession. If it means war so be it.
Look at the map it is South mid west vs east - west. Your plan has too many moving parts. Sorry you can't pussy foot your way out of the Suicide Pact that the USA has become. I will not buy your book. But we are sort of on the same side.
"The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic. The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered. To term this action of a Sovereign a 'rebellion' is a gross abuse of language."
"Obstacles may retard, but they cannot long prevent the progress of a movement sanctified by its justice, and sustained by a virtuous people ."
"Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever."
"The contest is not over, the strife is not ended. It has only entered upon a new and enlarged arena." Jefferson Davis, address to the Mississippi legislature - 16 years after the wars end.
"The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form."
President Davis
If Texas declared independence would you take up arms against her?
The author is right about the importation of illegal third-worlders so as to ensure a permanent RAT majority.
Secession does not mean war. It a state or states leave it is up to FedGov™ to either initiate to not initiate hostilities.
Secession only gives them a reason to escalate with force; a sure way to lose support of moderates; will only end in tyrannical oppression of freedom loving people;
Reform comes from standing toe to toe pointing out the flaws in their thinking and structure... We have no opposition party, just democrat lite.
There isn't going to be any choice in the matter. The USA will splinter along state lines when the world wide economic calamity causes the Greatest Depression ever seen. The states will leave the USA and try to survive on their own, shedding the debts and obligations accursed over 200 years of fiscal abuse.
It is going to happen whether anyone likes it or not.
Fyi: It is secession not succession. :)
I believe we should explore the fourteenth amendment section three also
I would say we have a case for kicking them all out every supporter of gun control on a federal level.
“Seems like we have been doing pretty good for ourselves just by showing up and voting.”
Surely this is sarcasm. Please tell me it is sarcasm.

The System is broken, it cannot be fixed. OBastard has made following the US optional and voluntary by any future President.
During the War of Independence the Colonies were split three ways third torys, third moderates, third rebels. Moderates follow power.
