Come on. Oklahoma is OK in my book. Most conservative State there is. Seriously, it is time for a change. We are not represented in DC anymore. All smoke and mirrors. So, time to tell DC to piss off

I like your tag line. Texit.

The right of a state to secede at any time is the only thing that makes the United States of America a voluntary union. If it’s not a voluntary union, then we are not a truly self-governing Republic.

When the states ratified the constitution, having just spilled blood to unshackle themselves from England, and with the powerful words of the Declaration of Independence still ringing in everyone’s ears - surely every state’s ratification was conditional upon the right to secede at will. Would any have agreed to join a union they could not quit? Of course not.

Yet, all attempts at secession since the founding have been crushed - so do states have s right to secede, or not? I’d like to find out.
