Sorry for the vanity; especially the vanity in Breaking News; however, I thought this important enough that it should receive high visibility.

I have reason to believe that some Staff Judge Advocates and Special Security Officers are looking into the secession petitions at whitehouse.gov

From what I have heard if you are on Active Duty and sign a secession petition, you will be pursued as being in violation of your contract.

SSOs are screening the lists too; you can potentially say goodbye to your security clearance.

Don't do this to be a smart ass, funny, or cute. Understand the gravity of what you are putting your name to.

By all means if you wish to declare yourself at odds with the U.S. Government, and feel strongly enough feel free to do so. However, if you are unhappy with the election, deployment cycles, just think it is all a joke that won't be taken seriously - think again.

Don't ruin everything you worked for and fought for over something so trivial as an online petition...........there are biographers that are Reservist West Point grads for that.

Use good judgement.

[bergmeid]

Put democrap names on them.

[molson209]

and if you are not on Active Duty ,they will put you on the no fly list

[ShadowDancer]

That’s okay~I’m too broke to afford plane fare anyway.

[fhayek]

Good advice, vanity or not.

The people signing on to these petitions have no clue what they have opened up for themselves. If you have a security clearance say good bye to it. It’s gonna get yanked faster than you can say boo. If your job is dependant on having that clearance, say hello to the unemployment line. You could also be jepordizing the clearances of anyone in your family that holds one. Sign at your own risk.

[RightOnline]

Yeah....that “freedom of speech” thing.....good idea while it lasted.

[fhayek]

Disregard my tagline on the previous post, it refered to an earlier post I had submitted.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

Anyone who signs any of the petitions will automatically make it on to Obemba’s ‘enemies list’.

[Orange1998]

It seems it being made up as this goes along. No fly then treason so whats next passports. Should we be afraid to vote Republican since we have a Democrat in office.

[luckystarmom]

Let’s hope they don’t take theses too seriously. Really, an online petition!

[AAABEST]

I have reason to believe that some Staff Judge Advocates and Special Security Officers are looking into the secession petitions at whitehouse.gov...

Yeah.... and who TF are you?

Some anonymous a-hole.

I'm all for freedom of speech and a redress of grievance against the government - Congress cannot enact a law prohibiting otherwise.......doesn't mean they have to allow you to have access to classified material.

Nor do they have to allow you to serve in the military.

[ScottinVA]

Yes... and not only active-duty. If you carry a security clearance it can be suspended, based on the guidelines for loyalty to the U.S.

Exercise good judgment!

" Should we be afraid to vote Republican since we have a Democrat in office."

You ended a question with a period. (There, now I feel better.)

[Flycatcher]

Yes.

The panic-stricken limpwrists are now trying to outdo each other in fearmongering.

Geez...

If "conservatives" now consider it too recklessly dangerous to sign a meaningless, toothless piece of paper, then God help us all.

[Christie at the beach]

Some, are done anyway with their corrupt government and this administration deserves some bad press. If the government begins to nationalize seniors savings-taking their saved money from their accounts, more people will want to be signing those petitions.

[huckfillary]

The Founders pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor for secession. If here today, they surely would be willing to risk their security clearances.

[Venturer]

He doesn’t sound like an a-hole he is giving sund advice. I am sure many of us here on Free Republic are being looked at.

This is the Nazification of America.

Sure we are ok right now, but 4 years from now?
