'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 1, December 19, 1776 "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 4, September 11, 1777 "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." -- Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President. "A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, [79 years now in 2012] freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have in varying degrees been abridged by laws brought into force by statutes of national emergency." |

Anyone surprised by this hasn't been paying attention The Texas Nationalist movement delivered 1 million signatures to the governor's office in 2009, demanding secession: [link to www.onepennysheet.com] Aug 29, 2009 Texans will converge on Austin to deliver a petition to Restore America by Demanding our Sovereignty or we will be forced to call a vote for Secession. This is straight out of the Declaration of Independence and our right to “alter or abolish” our government if it has, “after a long train of abuses” refused to protect the rights of the people. At present, the Texas Nationalist Movement has a petition with 1 Million signatures directly calling for a vote of secession. Last Edited by IssueX on 11/12/2012 06:48 PM |

| Éireann Eisteacht le gra! User ID: 27571136 11/12/2012 06:50 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | what? Talking about leaving tyranny isnt treason...it's the states rights. The government is for the people by the people, not the other way around. Precisely... Though I believe that their "response" will be something to the effect of a letter stating the actual process for secession, (which hasn't been followed here) and indicate that the signatures are not all from Texas residents. This is why these secession petitions are somewhat moot. What we need is a nationwide cause... Let's say, For a recount! I signed that one too. Here's the link to that thread and the petition for folks that want to sign that one too. Thread: Vote Recount - Over 26,000 Signatures in 36 hrs!!!! -- THIS is the petition that NEEDS to be signed!

It is one I was tracking in 2010, appears to be picking up steam again...it works within our current government's framework, which is always the wise way to go when possible [link to www.sodahead.com] We Are 3 States Away From A Constitutional Convention Towards Healthcare Reform Posted 07/08/10 Governors of 35 states have already filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention. Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution - "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ." I personally would not want a constitutional convention right now. It opens the possibility for any changes to be made to it. The people in charge, both sides, could do more damage than good. I believe this procedure has never been used since our founding, only the states radificaton of amendments. States should just secede, if they wish. But most are dependent on federal money so they won't go through with it. Texas or Montana would probably be the 2 that would have the best chance. If they held to our original principles and original constitution, minus the obvious issues we had in the beginning, I would be interested in moving. Last Edited by 306633 on 11/12/2012 07:00 PM |
