White House deluged with petitions for secession

I also posted the following on one of the other related threads yesterday. Take heed:

>>>>>
Of all the talk and threads related to secession;
Most all of these are knee-jerk reactions that have not been thought out.

Until a proposed governmental structure (laws), revised Constitution (laws), and proposed means to address fiscal responsibilities and liabilities (laws) that would outline the state's continued operation separate from the US Federal Government and the protections defined by means of the US Constitution (as these states would surely now be at-odds with the US) - you have no idea what you're actually promoting.

This is akin to loading the family in the car for vacation, though no preparation, no packing of clothes/ food/ supplies, no determined destination, and not even a determination of direction of travel has been made. You are then traveling an unknown path, headed for unknown interactions that may well likely include many unforeseen troubles and calamities - and your family is now an integral part of this very dynamic equation. Just because there is fuel in the car doesn't mean you're prepared for the trip.

Many states are similar to my own (Colorado), in that the majority of the state is populated by working, keep-to-yourself, small government supporters. However, it is the few larger cities within said states (Denver and Boulder for example in Colorado) that overwhelm the representation of the state to be considered as a liberal one.

Of course, a majority of the citizenry are interested in returning to the "freedoms" we enjoyed in the recent past. The dangers are that, until specific language is recorded to determine the path, direction, and ultimate destination - you may well be trading off for another government that has even greater desire to influence and control your life.

White House Response REQUIRED NOW!!!

This is the state where I was born. GO TEXAS!!!

The Civil War (US) took place in a relatively small window of time after the adoption of the US Constitution, and secession of the Southern States was to continue operation under the guise of this Constitution without the interference of the Federal Government, specifically the furtherance of the 10th Amendment.

Neither of these were the "knee-jerk" reactions spun up by unaligned peoples. Much, much thought, consideration, weighing of the possible outcomes, and (I believe) prayer for direction were participated in before determination of moving forward with acting was made.

I fear what we are seeing here are people, although maybe well-intended, voicing their disdain for the .gov.

But calling for secession on such a mass level without first defining goals, desires, attributes, resources, means of sustainment, etc., is short-sighted and ultimately dangerous to the populous of said states.

Just my $.02

Not a good idea to sign any petition or sign up with any political group anywhere.

The problem is right in their own state.

Petition to DC will only send them a list of names of dissidents.
