South Carolina's petition. You have to sign up but that's not a big deal. Make up a name and use a throwaway gmail address.

According to the White House, more than 7,000 people have signed petitions for Indiana and Kentucky to secede from the union. Related.
In total, there are 20 states with similar petitions, all of them filed within the last two days.
The petitions all came from individuals and not state governments.
Withdrawing from the union is not legal.
They all read the same way, "We petition the Obama administration to peacefully grant (the state) to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government."
The petitions also cite Declaration of Independence.
The petitions require 25,000 signatures each, by Dec. 10. If they reach the threshold of 25,000, they’ll receive a response from the president.

There are many petitions for peacefully leaving the USA. The WH says they will give a formal response if a petition gets 25,000 clicks.
So far, the petition on behalf of Texas is the only one of the many with more than 25,000 clicks.
i predict they will all make it.
Last I heard it was up to 20.
Yeah, one must “register with the White House” before signing a petition!
No. Not a joke! It’s already been shown he is very thinned skin. This will irk him.
If 50 states secede and form the ‘New USA’, then we could leave 0bammy in charge of the other 7.
Hurray! We “irked” the President! [spit]
LOL - sounds like a plan!

sorry but Mourdock was absolutely correct. He stated that a pregnancy, even if the result of rape, is a gift from God.
if the pregnancy is not a gift from God, who is it from and who created the new human being??

Is that so? Does anybody have a link to that SCOTUS ruling?
I tend to think Obama is bit schitzy and one part of the brain really doesn’t care and another part of his brain gets angry that there would be any kind of challenge. Of course how his enablers handle these matters is a separate issue.
Yep, I think any sort of challenge really enrages our Boy King, the ignorant arrogant narcissist.
Pence.
Not good enuf for secession. DEMS still have a stronghold in IN. You do not qualify.
Seems to me that would apply from then forth.
Also, some states entered by treaty. As a separate country when the entered, they can disavow the treaty and go IMO.
The CSA’s mistake was to just leave and fire upon the union. I think they should have taken their case to court.
The constitution first amendment has the right to asssociation granted to the. Seems to me if you don’t want to associate any longer, that is a constitutional right!
Lastly, if these don’t work, call for a constitutional convention, each state has a vote and change it. Make it a constitutional certainty that only if you own property or have lawful income can you vote. In other words, get rid of the moochers.
That is BS. The SCOTUS, if it had ruled that secession was illegal AFTER the Civil War, would have made the South totally within its Constitutional rights to secede. The US Constitution is silent on the issue of secession, and will remain so forever.
President Davis asked for a trial after the war but was denied a trial. Nobody wanted to put him, and secession, on trial. Everyone knew that would be a losing case and secession would be found Constitutional.
.............Never mind all of the other troubles that would be created by a secession.
Sir, I appreciate your post and indeed everyone’s post! So, please don’t take offense at my comment re the above sentence plucked out of your post.
To me, what that statement says is laughable because these here United States of America ALREADY have more “other troubles” than they can possibly digest. Indeed, our troubles today make the run-up to the Civil War look like a walk in the park! All they were fussin about back then was “states rights”. What my kids are facing TODAY is a day when thousands of pissed off marxists and socialists are heading toward their house because their government issued debit card they have used for years to pay their bills so they don’t have to work is all of a sudden getting rejected and they are hungry!!!...and their kids are hungry....and they are MAD as hell, and you will not be able to reason with them and they will Kill you and your daughters and sons and wife for what you got and they will think nothing of it! It’s the ole “mob mentality” you see.
So, “Secession”, or talking about it, or thinking about or theorizing about it is a JOKE !!! Most people today realize that and that explains why they are lined up at the gunstores ten deep! They really don’t give a damn about secession. They do care about when those debit cards, held by fifty million people, start being rejected! When that happens, and it will, because we are already broke, then aint nobody gonna be talking about no secession! You and your friends will be forming platoons and companys and electing officers exactly like what happened back in 1860!
And, nevermind to those that will say they will print some money and prolong the status quo that way! Well, two things about that: 1. Obama and Geitner have already been doing that to buy back worthless and existing US debt. 2. The mobs are still coming to kill you and yours because a dozen eggs, thanks to printing money (QE whatever!)cost $25,000.00 kinda sorta like Chile and Argentina years back.
So, Sir, you are right about one thing! Secession is irrelevant. But, it is irrelevant because our troubles now are so monumental that our 50-50 government in Washington simply cannot deal with them and, like Greece, things will start getting settled in the streets and it won’t be pretty because here, unlike Greece, everybody will be armed to the teeth!
Exactly!!
DITTO!!
The decision in Texas v. White (1869) is here.
"When, therefore, Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. All the obligations of perpetual union, and all the guaranties of republican government in the Union, attached at once to the State. The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact; it was the incorporation of a new member into the political body. And it was final. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration, or revocation, except through revolution, or through consent of the States.
"Considered therefore as transactions under the Constitution, the ordinance of secession, adopted by the convention and ratified by a majority of the citizens of Texas, and all the acts of her legislature intended to give effect to that ordinance, were absolutely null. They were utterly without operation in law."
