User ID: 27571136 11/12/2012 08:10 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Even though this seems a good initiative, what is to prevent the White House simply rejecting the petition after "having looked at it". Quoting: Rey Rogers The only way to force the issue is to hold a per state referendum so everyone can vote yes or no to leave the union. Now if this petition can force a referendum then it gets interesting. RR The point of the petition isn't to get them to agree to Texas Succession rights. What it does mean to do is to put the Fed on notice that the people of these states demand a redress of grievances and that States Rights be honored cuz "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"

It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27465220 Don't worry, outside of GLP there are thousands of sane people in TX who feel the same. Even if they didn't vote for Obama, that doesn't mean they want to leave the USA. |

The rest are just copying that first. It's really silly how all the petitions are written the exact same way, just with a different state. |

If Romney had won and Vermont, Oregon, Illinois and a dozen other blue states posted secession petitions, you would proclaiming how it was a clear sign the will of the people had been ignored When Bush won again, Vermont threatened to secede and was applauded for it So it's ok when a leftist state wants to leave? I'll just ignore your ad hominem insults and attacks as a reflection on the kind of shithole you probably are being forced to live in.... Should Vermont secede from the union? Are you aware that over half the states of the US have declared sovereignty, including blue states? |

| Riggsalent User ID: 26678643 11/12/2012 08:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry, but people are just plain fucking stupid. Yea, how many people are there in the state of Texas? So just a few disgruntled white people are being childish and don"t want to play anymore cause darkie got elected again? So they make a petition to leave the USA. Great, fine in fact leave. But then the federal govt will come back on you for money owed on capital improvements from the beginning which will put Texas owing more than they are worth which it will default and then the USA will come and repossess all of the land anyway. But then they would have to settle with the Mexican drug lords that work for them on territory rights. If you let go of your hate for another person and try to help the next man, then someone would be helping you. But no go ahead and be afraid of anything that doesn't look like you!

[link to www.huffingtonpost.com] The White House's rejection statement was directed at seven other marijuana-related petitions, which together garnered more than 150,000 signatures. One such petition, which called for marijuana to be regulated in a manner similar to alcohol, received almost 75,000 signatures.
