Sorry that it has come to this, but I must refer you to Articles Of FreeRepublic and Perpetual Union, superseded by the Constitution of FreeRepublic.com:
You CAN'T secede. It's illegal. I can't put my finger on a clause that prohibits your leaving, but when you signed up it was permanent and irrevocable. If you persist on leaving, we have no alternative but to send armed forces to your home. As long as you send in your monthly donations, no invasion will occur, no obnoxious strangers will be forced upon you. </sarcasm>
Break a leg my FRiend, we'll miss you. You breathed life into this place.
GOP, I really wish you would reconsider, but I understand if you've made your mind up 100%. Good luck in your new endeavors, and be sure to pass all the inside Texas Politics skinny back to Xena or Houston Curmudgeon or me so we can post up all the scandal on Governor Goodhair and the Toll-Road Trolls on the Texas boards. Meanwhile, illegitimi non carborundum.
Adios, amigo, vaya con dios.
