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.
And if you’re not military, expect one of Hussein’s newly hired IRS thugs to appear at your door — or worse. Signing one of these things makes you a target, and there’s no potential for effectiveness, anyhow.
Take Bill Whittle’s advice: Just quietly live your life in a parallel universe, obey the laws, and “IGNORE THEM!”.
No. I just want my Country back. One based on limited government and an absolute respect for human Rights.
You know... Like those old, dead, white guys wrote down on that chunk of parchment a couple hundred years ago.
Why should we fear a corrupted government? They should be the ones afraid to come to work because they crossed the line into a police state.
Revolution is coming, states may or may not secede legally. Right now any talks or movements of states leaving has the socialists in a cold sweat, because it would severely cripple their workers paradise.
Thats the plan, we are destroying the workers paradise, Hostess says they would rather shut down than cave in to union thuggery, and this is just the beginning.
The “Yosemite Sam” approach will have the same effect as the cartoon..
Read a little contract law......oh yes,you “Kiss my ass”. USMC ass at that.
“So, you equate those who would sign such a secession petition online...with fomenting insurrection. That, my FRiend, is one hell of a stretch. Care to elaborate?”
I am simply trying to point out, imperfectly, it seems, that WE can believe and define it any way WE want. We can all agree 100% on this issue, but the federal authority is going to see it as insurrection should push come to shove.
See Whiskey Rebellion, Shay’s Rebellion, Dorr’s Rebellion, Frie’s Rebellion, Green Corn Rebellion, John Brown, & the Civil War.
It is historical fact that the United States federal government has never allowed any part of the country to secede despite various attempts in our history. Lincoln and the remaining Congress viewed Southern seccession as insurrection as the Civil War broke out. It didn’t really matter how Jefferson Davis or Southern patriots defined it once the die was cast. The same goes for Washington and the Whiskey Rebellion.
Do I make sense or am I off base?
No, you make good sense, and not saying you are off base. Didn’t mean to sound like I was teeing off on you here. From the Government’s point of view, yes....you’re dead on. From the individuals signing such petitons; from their point of view, quite the opposite. These are people trying to retain the REAL United States of America.
The real shame is that we have a regime in charge that couldn’t care less. They loathe the U.S., our history aside.
Anyone who doesn’t fall into line with their idiotic thoughts is guilty.
