Maybe the many, many (even if [I]relatively[/I] low number) of people who have signed these petitions nationwide are simply doing it with the purpose of making it known that it's possible, that the federal government is not also the Emperor.
These petitions are meaningless; this is what happens when red states don't get their way with things. If you take a peek at the signed names, you'll see many don't even originate in the state they're signing for. 4chan has been all over this shit since they first popped up, too, so I'd be quite surprised if 75% of the signers were legitimate at all.

Oh wow, things escalate really fast these days.
All these people who are asking for secession. Is it because of how Obama's handling of issues during his previous term? Does it mean they are all possibly supporters of Romney? If so, Romney's prolly gonna call out and ask these guys to stop. End of "rebellion".
The America will fall, and a new glorious communistic government shall rise from the ashes, that will join the red revolution of the world that will unite the workers across the globe, and bring humanity into a new golden era.

America should just annex itself.
Oh no we will have this guy for four more years, better seceed.
Why doesn't all of America vote on this petition, just to boot their dumb-ass out :V:
Ceteris paribus, smaller regimes are less odious than larger regimes in that they have fewer funds available to harass people on a global basis. An example of this is the IRS having the means to harass people worldwide to the point that most foreign banks will not deal with US citizens. This is not the case for any other country, thus why I am pursuing dual citizenship in Paraguay. As an anarchist, I would just as soon do away with the composite states in addition to the Federal leviathan. From a gradualist standpoint, I favour secession on account that if people discover they can do without the Federal gang of thieves, they might decide that they can do without the gangs in the statehouses.
why do everyone hate texas? there's a whole lot of fucking brilliant people from texas
[QUOTE=Clio;38433682]why do everyone hate texas? there's a whole lot of fucking brilliant people from texas[/QUOTE] What do you mean by 'Texas': the chunk of dirt defined by state lines and international borders, the people who inhabit it, or the regime based in Austin that rules both? I have never been there, so I cannot comment on the first; I have not met anyone from there, so I cannot comment on the second, and I oppose the very existence of the third.

Probably late, but [quote] Q: Did the terms of Texas's admission to the Union include permission to withdraw if it found statehood not to its liking? It is said of Texas (and, occasionally, Vermont) that it received a letter or document of permission to withdraw from the Federal Union if it so chose. In the case of Texas, this permission is sometimes said to have been granted at the time of Texas's admission as a state. Other times it is said to have been included in the terms readmitting Texas to the Union after the Civil War. [B]In fact, Texas received no special terms in its admission to the Union. Once Texas had agreed to join the Union, she never had the legal option of leaving, either before or after the Civil War.[/B] The early years of the United States had seen a great deal of debate over whether states could, in fact, legally withdraw from the Union. During the War of 1812 it was New England that wanted to secede from the rest of the country. Later, it was the Southern states. Secessionists argued that states were sovereign and had the right to withdraw from the Union. Opponents countered that the Constitution created a sovereign union that, once entered into, could never be broken. Eventually, the question was put to the test and settled permanently on the battlefields of the Civil War. The Presidential Proclamation declaring peace between the United States and Texas after the Civil War, dated August 20, 1866, states very clearly in the following passage that no state had the right to leave the Union (emphasis added in all capitals): And whereas, the President of the United States, by further proclamation issued on the second day of April, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, did promulgate and declare, that there no longer existed any armed resistance of misguided citizens, or others, to the authority of the United States in any, or in all the States before mentioned, excepting only the State of Texas, and did further promulgate and declare that the laws could be sustained and enforced in the several States before mentioned, except Texas, by the proper civil authorities, State, or Federal, and that the people of the said States, except Texas, are well and loyally disposed, and have conformed or will conform in their legislation to the condition of affairs growing out of the amendment to the Constitution of the United States, prohibiting slavery within the limits and jurisdiction of the United States; And did further declare in the same proclamation THAT IT IS THE MANIFEST DETERMINATION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT NO STATE, OF ITS OWN WILL, HAS A RIGHT OR POWER TO GO OUT OF OR SEPARATE ITSELF FROM, OR BE SEPARATED FROM THE AMERICAN UNION; and that, therefore, each State ought to remain and constitute an integral part of the United States; On March 30, 1870, Congress passed the Act to admit the State of Texas to Representation in the Congress of the United States. Likewise, this act contains no language that would allow Texas to unilaterally withdraw from the United States.[/quote] [url]https://www.tsl.state.tx.us/exhibits/annexation/part5/question11.html[/url]

This is like the whole Quebec wanting to be it's own nation thing a few years back, and we all know how well that worked out.

[QUOTE=Fenrisulfr;38434220]Yes; Ottowa controls the purse, so Ottowa calls the shots. Nothing new.[/QUOTE] Thats bullshit. Most Canadians don't want Quebec to leave and the people who do want to leave inside Quebec are typically idiots who think they can survive on maple syrup profits. If they left it would screw up alot of things and ruin Quebec, everyone would leave.

How about we just exile everyone who signs the petitions?
Several more states are about to hit the 25k mark including Florida, Georgia, and S.C.
