Montana's is the most disturbing because it has 2252 signatures which means 9/10ths of the people there have signed the petition!!!!

having reviewed this list i think the answer here is simple. wait for random citizens in the rest of the states to sign this petition and then have the entire US secede from the US.

It wouldn't work that way. We'd be a loosely associated confederacy if all states seceded. We'd only be bound by, say, The Fed and other "useful" cross-state agencies like the FBI. It would be a looser association than the Articles of Confederation established. It would be more like the EU and each state would function as its own country.

I'm sort of interested in the comparison to Quebec, really. how serious are them southerners at the end of the day?

Colorado seceding.... I'm guessing it was mainly signed by Weld County ranchers who voted for Marilyn Musgrave despite her Klan endorsement and complicity in the assault of one of her rivals and by Boulder Objectivists. If we seceded, just geographically we'd be like Nagorno Karabakh

Racist. uhuh

In all seriousness, though, it isn't a question of how serious these Southerners are, it's a question of how numerous they are. The people actively pushing for independence probably top out at 1-2% of the population for any given state, maybe closer to 5-10% in the more solidly conservative states like Texas and Alabama.

It isn't anything close to the situation in Quebec where the Secessionists are represented by a major regional political party with seats in the National Legislature.

Well...I don't remember much. My sister was telling me about it and since I haven't had "TV" in 4-5 years, I don't really watch mainstream news, as well.

HCR 50 was the legislation being mulled over.

It's not quite a secession but it moves Texas back to more of a confederacy than a federacy. Like I stated earlier, they'd maintain economic ties with things like currency and probably interstate agencies that are necessary like FBI. But almost all federal powers over Texas would be diminished or absolved.

Also, I read this article and the comment...my sides:

"Put Perry in Federal Prison for Treason....he'll find out what true tea-bagging is in short order."

I agree with this. I think it is closer to 5%, though. Tons of people talk about secession in Oklahoma. But I think if they had to sign, only 5-10% would step up.

oh well...whats good for the goose:

if they dont like america why dont they just get the **** out?

Well played. I actually think they are trying to cheat by making their state "get the **** out".

So basically get rid of Federal restrictions that they don't like but maintain all the benefits they approve of?

Almost. They'd be cutting themselves out of tons of Fed Programs and they'd still have to pay taxes. Their main push is that they can be, easily, economically independent of the US so they say they don't need those government programs.

Apparently in Alaska a Pro-Secessionist party accounts for around 6% of registered voters there.

That's actually a bit more disturbing than I thought. This secession crap seems more serious than I thought. I thought it was funny, at first.

What do you have against secession?

Napalm's elitist. It won't stand for being used on them thar rednecks.
