Anonymous Coward User ID: 15676325 United States 11/12/2012 09:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just because a few thousand people sign a petition to secede from the union does not mean even 99% of the state want it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23000912 But don't take my word for it, I'm a non-religious obamavoter. It is a BIG voice that needs answering. The people have exercised their right to do this: "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government." You would love this if it was about something you believed in... |

You can disagree with the reasons they express for their dissatisfaction but suely you can understand their desire to make themselves heard? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24537507 It does mean something, for some states it is a good idea to secede but until only people from that state only can sign the petition, it does not matter. Besides like I said. It's less then 0.01% of the state wanting this. I'm sure 2% of the state likes to molest children but we don't want that do we? |

Then comes the petitions to the State legislatures. Then the Fed's come crawling on their knees pleading for forgiveness,(Ha Ha, then again you never know!). |

When states like Texas want to secede, its taken a little bit of power away from government. This can spread and it should. This isn't about Obama. This is about dismantling the big government machine and its apparatus eg. Police, public servants etc. |
