Foolishness Alert: Citizens from 15 States have filed petitions to Secede from America


Over the weekend, folks from 15 States have asked for a peaceful withdrawal from the United States in order to start their own government.

These states are Louisiana, Texas, Montana, North Dakota, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Colorado, Oregon and New York.

They filed the petitions a few days after the 2012 presidential election.

Check it out:
The government allows one month from the day the petition is submitted to obtain 25,000 signatures in order for the Obama administration to consider the request. 
The Texas petition reads as follows:
The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government. 
As of 12:46 am, Sunday, signatures obtained by Louisiana, 7,358; Texas, 3,771; Florida, 636; Georgia, 475; Alabama, 834; North Carolina, 792; Kentucky, 467; Mississippi, 475; Indiana, 449; North Dakota, 162; Montana, 440; Colorado, 324; Oregon, 328; New Jersey, 301 and New York, 169. Many more States are expected to follow.

Many of these states accept more federal money than they take in via taxes. For those states, it's a good business decision to let them go.

They wanted free enterprise? Let them have it under one condition. Once they leave, they can never come back.

This is all for show, a spectacle for ultra conservatives and tea-baggers angry about the election. None of the states or commonwealths in the union have the right to secede from the union. They can sign petitions until they are blue in the face, it doesn't change what is legal or not legal.
