First of all, folks, it's "secession." Not "succession." Look it up.

Second of all, secession, in the Civil War sense, is not the answer. Look at what's happening in Arizona, New Hampshire, Washington, and several other states. It's in the "Declaration of Independence":

Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

If this trend continues and builds steam, the Federal Gov't will lose that consent, and all of their power will account for nothing.

You can try to scream from your house to D.C., or you can stand on the desk of your local State Senator, Governor, and even your Mayor, to drive this forward.

This is where it's at.

“Secession”

Sorry but I don't see how declaring state sovereignty solves any problems.

Nuts at County and State level just as corrupt as at the Federal level.

More people voted in last election in my area than registered. Local Sheriff in jail for corruption neighboring county sheriff in jail for accepting bribes.

and your right secession is also not the answer.
