30 States Petition Federal Government to Secede After Election
(FILE)
UPDATE:
We’ve uncovered comments from conservative Justice Scalia talking about the idea of secession. You can read his thoughts on the issue here.
–
Liberals often like to compare President Barack Obama to former President Abraham Lincoln. The comparison is usually dismissed as laughably hagiographical, but judging by one unexpected bit of fallout from Tuesday’s election, it could well end up being accurate in just one respect: Like Lincoln, Obama is facing requests by the citizens of numerous states to secede from the union.
However, unlike with Lincoln, these requests are peaceful, and highly unlikely to do anything at all except generate news headlines. A massive number of petitions are currently circulating on Change.org, a website designed to call for action by the federal government or by private institutions on particular causes, calling for particular states to be granted permission to secede.
Nor are they confined to the usual suspects (IE the Southern States). In actuality, the mix of states asking to secede is deeply bipartisan, ranging from the deeply red (Alabama and South Carolina) to the deeply blue (New York) to the swing (Pennsylvania). Nor are the states asking to secede in any way geographically clustered. Northern states (New York), Midwestern states (Michigan), Southern states (Alabama) and Western states (Nevada) have all filed petitions of their own. Most swing states this election cycle, with the exception of Ohio, have a petition of their own, and all of them have at least 1,000 signatures, with even some of the bluest states in the union easily keeping pace with their red counterparts.
Is this simply the product of a few thousand discontents in each individual state? Perhaps. But Texas’ petition has over 40,000 signatures, well over the 25,000 necessary to reach the attention of the President. If this turns out to be more than the discontented murmurings of a single state, this story may get ugly.
Additionally, here is a list of all the states with petitions to secede on WhiteHouse.gov:
- Delaware
- California
- Ohio
- Nevada
- Pennsylvania
- Arizona
- Oklahoma
- Arkansas
- South Carolina
- Georgia
- Missouri
- Tennessee
- Michigan
- New York
- Colorado
- Oregon
- New Jersey
- North Dakota
- Montana
- Indiana
- Mississippi
- Kentucky
- Florida
- North Carolina
- Alabama
- Texas
- Louisiana

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 9:37pmYou’re going to leave us stuck with California. Thanks, but NO. Make those dividing lines the Appalachians and the SIerra Madre, with the new Republic of Gadsden taking a piece of the state of Sonora to allow for a west coast port. the Constitutional Convention should be very interesting. Also don’t center the capitol in one city, but divide it in three, to prevent the creation of a federal cesspool like we have now. Technology easily makes it possible.

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 10:06pmAmerica Justs needs to secede from the Corporation of the United States:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhxrazdGyyo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is some literature on this:
“Under The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 a private corporation named, “The District of Columbia”, was formed. It trademarked the names “THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT”, “United States”, “U.S.”, “U.S.A.”, “USA”, and “America”. It should be noted that this corporation was not simply a reformation of the municipality as it’s Organic Act was chartered in 1808. Without amending that municipality’s charter, this 1871 Act marked the creation of a new private corporation known as, “The District of Columbia” (hereinafter “Corp. U.S.”) owned and operated by the actual government for the purpose of carrying out the business needs of the government under martial law.”
http://teamlaw.net/history.htm

Here is more:
“It is Historical knowledge that the original Union States created the Federal Government, however, for all practical purposes, the Federal government has taken control of her “Creators”, the States.) She has become a beast out of control for power. She has for her trade names the following: “United States”, “U.S.”, “U.S.A.”, “United States of America”, Washington D.C., District of Columbia, Feds. and Federal Government.”

You say “great one side will be ignorant liberals, the other side ignorant conservatives” but that would not be a bad thing, because it would put a damper on the two party system…and it would show that yes the government does belong to the people…there would be separation at first and both sides will know for sure that they can not continue governing the way they are….Heck even if secession doesn’t happen, the action of these petitions speaks volumes!!!!!

Declaration of Independence
[Adopted in Congress 4 July 1776]
—-
The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
“… That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.”
“… when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

That was sort of my thought too. If all the states want to succeed, isn’t easier to just get rid of the “bad guys & girls” who don’t want to play by the principles of our founders? It wasn’t easy for them either. They were split down the middle too (strong fed govt vs maximum liberty).
It appears the numbers of people calling for this action are incredibly small. Is this the minority who rights are protected under the Constitution? I wonder.
Here we are with the “let’s divide” thing again. Nothing like division to keep a country together. I’d rather divide along lines of stupidity. Well, that’s not good either ’cause I might be on the side I don’t want. lol
Wish this stuff was funny, but it sure isn’t. All I have is anger and hatred left.

Even the Corrupt elite owned Wikipedia has to admit it.
“The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871, formally An Act to provide a Government for the District of Columbia, is an Act of Congress that repealed the individual charters of the cities of Washington and Georgetown and established a new territorial government for the whole District of Columbia. Though Congress repealed the territorial government in 1874, the legislation was the first to create a single municipal government for the federal district.[1]”

Icelanders are intelligent and educated, obviously.
They must not watch television ( The Globalist’s indoctrinating boob tube ) often.
They probably teach the monetary system in their schools.
We trade Treasury Bonds with a Private Bank in turn for notes with interest attached.
This is insanity.
Here is a great quote:

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 1:16amAll of HUGE part of this I have not mentioned is when we declared Bankruptcy in 1933.
Check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlCs7u1ihws
Both sites I posted earlier talk of this. I have a hundred other sources also but these are my present favorites.
“In 1933, Corp. U.S. is bankrupt, they force a banking holiday to exchange money backed Federal Reserve Notes with “legal tender” Federal Reserve Notes the Trading with the Enemies Act is adjusted to recognize the people of the United States as enemies of Corp. U.S.”
http://teamlaw.net/HistoryOutline.htm
“The bankruptcy definitely started when Roosevelt came into office. He was sworn in during the month of January 1933. He started right away in the bankruptcy with what is known as ‘The Banking Holiday,” and proceeded in pulling the gold coin out of circulation. That was the beginning of the corporate United States Public Policy for bankruptcy.. Executive Orders 6073, 6102, 6111 & Executive Order 6260 – Trading With The Enemy Act.”
http://www.barefootsworld.net/usfraud.html
Even one of our congressmen knew this and disclosed this classified information on the house floor. He was blackballed from congress with some bogus scandal.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 1:29amDON’T EVEN THINK THAT!!! Especially now that they’ve let the “CAT OUT OF THE BAG” (that the USA has more oil than all the M.E. and the rest of the world) I’ve been saying that for a couple of years now…we can be energy Independent and rich again!! It’s our land, folks… Of course they (obama et al) tried to hide it…they tried giving Mineral right to the COMMIES (the “wait until after the election and I’ll be more flexible”) only we didn’t RIOT on election day….we didn’t split apart..so I guess their NUCLEAR SUB parked off our Coast has at to trotsky on back to Russia.
THE FEW WHO HATE AMERICA would LOVE for us to split apart. I have a better IDEA. Send all the House of Rep and SENATORS back to their States to work from their Capitals – Skype etc.- and preserve our beautiful buildings – make DC a public park… ship the U.N. where ever, release the land for TAX PAYER PROFITS… and the LOBBYISTS can find new jobs cause they won’t be allowed near our Congress or Pres. They can post ADS I suppose Have 3 or 4 months for the PRIMARIES both parties, Prevent UNIONS and other special interest groups from buying favors… Badda Boom, Badda Bing!!! AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL ONCE AGAIN!!! Instead of once every 4 year conventions, we can hold huge town hall meeting for days at a time to get issues solved with the max. amount of people participating. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX people!!!

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 5:32amConservatives on the Left Coast??? Just doesn’t seem right somehow. Of course the “fixed” election we just had doesn’t seem right either. Why don’t we find a way to kick the idiots in Washington we call publicly elected representatives out of office and start over again starting with BHO and cleaning out the Senate and House of Representatives? We could then take all the people who believe in Man-made Global Warming and put them all on a big iceberg along with all the moochers and freeloaders that infest the UN building. On the other hand we could gather up all the progressives and give them a whole continent…. Antarctica to live on. Just a thought and a lot of wishful thinking…but better than what we face right now with the status quo.

Have you giver ANY consideration to ‘logistics’?
States on the east, west and Gulf coasts would have access to the ocean and overseas markets.
But what about land-locked States once they become ‘independent countries’?
Do they erect walls to keep others from using their portions of FEDERAL INTERSTATES?
Do they have to pay ‘a foreign country’ to travel their roads and use their ports?
When a hurricane or other natural disaster strikes – HOW would they get supplies and how would the residents survive in – lets say a drought or massive wildfire in a ‘water-shortage’ state??
Where would these land-locked states get their power (in states which have no coal or refuse to use renewables) or gasoline (in non-productive states) or water (in desert areas)?
GREAT IDEA to secede – Right??? Riiiiiiiight!!!!!

Abe Lincoln was a tyrant and most of this mess is his fault. He set the precedent for the Federal government to enslave the states. To force it’s will via force of arms. Old abe murdered more Americans than any jihadi could ever hope to.
You are correct AL, it seems alot of Presidents praised by our eductaional system were ANTI-CONSTITUTIONALIST to say the least. The bottom line is the Civil War was about taxation without representation FACT They do teach in school…Lincoln signed a mandate that stated all states that practiced Slavery COULD CONTINUE the practice but no new states could have the practice of slavery.
If the War was fought over slavery then the south won before a shot was fired. Fact is the Government was taxes the south and using those dollars to build in the North.

I’d be worried that everyone who signed this petition would be rounded up and executed, publically. That being said, I can’t wait to see the look on my aunt’s face (who is a STONG Obama supporter) if Arkansas did secede. We’d have to have a massive exchange of people, letting those liberals move INTO Obamanation, and the conservatives out.

I thought about that before signing the Texas petition and decided I would rather die standing for what I believe in than live on my knees. Beck, since you’re living in TX now, you need to grow a pair. In some senses, America is a bunch of cowards and if people had been as gutless in 1776, we’d be speaking with funny accents right now and spelling “color” with one too many letters.

Obama can be the president of those who do not follow the constitution, and as states get fed up with Obama they can join us signing a statement they will now and forever follow Our Constitution. Execute any person or organization who engages in voter fraud for Treason or engaging in terrorist activities. No more saying well he had a bad experience as a child therefor he is justified in what he does. B.S. A short military trial and firing squad. No more bending over backwards to be politically correct, and no more letting the few dictate to the majority. It is WE THE PEOPLE not what ever those in power want. End cronies on both sides and go back to what is right is right and wrong is wrong. Obama can keep the debt he has caused and he can even keep Obama care. We will not let or accept more crap crammed down our throughts. Justices should be elected to terms, not appointed for life. There should be limits to funds spent on elections, not who has the most money. The press and others (politicians)should he held accountable for what they say or publish. This is not a total cure but it would be a good starting place. God Bless US.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 3:20pmActually , seceeding from the union will bring the American debt doewn from 16 trillion deollars to zero dollars. This is probably a lot easier to do then to rely on our politicians to control costs. Therefore even California and Illinois will start with a clean slate. As long as the states act like Europe and use a common monetary unit, a common armed services and have no restriction to travel between the states, this could be the easiest way to solve our debt problem.

If you are in foreign country with out proper papers you pay through the nose and still get shipped out or do jail time until someone bails you out. To work in a foreign country you must have papers to work. This would be politically correct! Secure our boarders, keep them out of our states, and don’t let Obama dictate to us.

Everyone forgets that only 3 in 10 colonists wanted to live free. The other 7 were content to live under King George. So 30% of the population had the guts to revolt. I knew Beck coming to Texas, can’t completely change his fear. You have to be born and raised here with it in your spirit to understand what you will and will not stand for. He’s still got that New Yorker in him, it’s understandable. That’s why Texans hold on so hard to who they are, because others come here to take advantage our of wealth and then try to change US or make us out to be the crazy ones.

When I saw Louisiana had a petition, I sent this to a disgusted FL e-mail friend. This is my crazy idea:
If all the red states secede & unite, we’d have a nice big country but WE get to keep the name of the USA. Blue states HATE the USA so they’ll have to be the USSA or whatever they want to call their sissy Communist POC states!!! Don’t know what we’ll do with Colorado & New Mexico stuck right in the middle of our RED states! ALL illegals & “others” will be deported to Mexico OR the blue states since they love criminals & “terrorists”.
We’ll have to make a “NO FLY ZONE” over OUR new conservative country so I don’t know how the East Coast blue states & the West Coast blue states will be able to travel back & forth…really don’t care! Maybe they could pay us a “toll”, otherwise they’d have to go around the globe to get from one to the other if Canada or Mexico won’t let them fly over!
ALL progressives living in red states will be deported to the blue states… WE DO NOT WANT THEM or their agenda CAUSING TROUBLE in our NEW conservative country! True conservatives from blue states will be welcome in our red states. We’ll have space after the Libfreaks leave.
I’m sure Alaska will secede; so we’ll have most of the oil, natural gas, farm & ranch land, the military, nuclear power, coal, etc. We’ll see how long the blue states survive without the red states! They’ve never DONE anything so they’ll probably starve

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 7:56pmThe base tenant of our civilization, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is in peril. This brings forth these salient words of the Declaration of Independence:
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
This suggests to me that it is our justifiable right to seek disillusion from what is now called the United States in order to form a new United States, if you will a more perfect union, which is in direct accordance with the Declaration of Independence, our Current Constitution and the beliefs of our founding fathers. Some may call this radical, but I believe it is obedience to what was also once thought to be a radical idea, the D

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 8:51pmWe just need enough territory for those who do not want to become EU2 to be able, over time, to vote with their feet. There is no way for Obama to rig that vote. He shouldn’t want us Texans in his country. We don’t like his policies and we have sued him more than 24 times trying to get him to comply with the 10th amendment. If he lets us go he can save a lot of money on attorney’s. Hey the European way is obviously superior so why should he be concerned that a state or two want go back to our founding principles and provide people an alternative to living under his definition of what is “fair.

Posted on November 14, 2012 at 8:31amWell we could convince enough state legislatures to summon a Constitutional Convention. The dark part could be that in doing so ALL agendas are on the table. We need to be careful what we wish for. On the other hand at this point we are losing freedoms day by day. A shake up in Washington is needed but we will have to work slowly.
I suggest we take back our schools. Stop the indoctrination of children. Teach them citizenship and the Constitution. That’s how the liberals got control. In some aspects conservatives are getting there. We now have 30 states with a Republican governor, almost as many with a conservative legislature. House Republicans need to go to them and work with them and reach out to Libertarians. Start our own ground operations . Push into the cities s much as possible. We can take our lives back from Washington DC. We must start now. Today.

Posted on November 16, 2012 at 1:19amLincoln slaughtered up tp 750,000 Americans, (southern civilians and military) for exercising their right to seceed. If anyone can prove secession was illegal, show me. It was never a Civil War. The South wanted to peacefully leave the Union and become a new nation. It was Lincoln whose incompetence as a leader started the war. He was a tyrant and a racist. Lincoln as an American hero is a myth. It was a political war for power and money. It set our nation back more than a hundred years.

Posted on January 13, 2013 at 1:11pmThe president thumbs his nose at the constitution at his whim and decides that it means something when HE thinks it should. Gee…what’s wrong with this picture? If what it says doesn’t matter with our rights to protect ourselves from the tyranny of a nutty grabby and dangerous government, then I think we should not be influenced by the “no right to secede” . Then, people, are we just subjects of this twisted idea of “government” or do we still have a choice in the matter? I think that 300,000,000 people slightly outnumber the 500 or so in the US government. Those people up there have forgotten who they work for, I do believe! It’s high time for a serious “housecleaning” in DC. They are all running wild up there, and it will not continue for much longer probably. They are all shooting themselves in the foot, & eventually all we the people will have to do is sweep the remains of the trash out the door and let it blow away. All the money made goes either to foreigners who hate us or to the pockets of our so-called “governing bodies”, And THE PEOPLE KNOW IT!!! As a result, people are starving and losing their homes and livelihoods…AND THE PEOPLE KNOW WHY!

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 9:26pmIt won’t stay at 50 little countries for long, if history is any guide.
Also, what really needs to happen is the repeal of the 17th Amendment. Even with popular vote, the House remained in Republican hands, but the much tougher Senate didn’t. States shouldn’t secede, they should assert their power. Reclaim their power to appoint senators through state legislatures. Make the Senate responsive to the needs of the States instead of to a party. The popular vote makes sense when it is so fine-grained like the House is on a district level, not when it represents only the interests of a major metropolitan center instead of all people in a state, as it is in the Senate today.

I agree with the idea that only property owners or tax payers should vote. In other words, if you don’t have a clue what America is about, don’t tell the rest of us how to do it!!! If you are satisfied taking freebies the country will give you, then it’s time for us to limit those freebies to mere crumbs. This is not a new concept. “He who does not work, shall not eat”.
Of course in today’s society that will be seen as politically incorrect and establish a whole new segment of social ‘victims’. Those poor “non-voters” !!! They just had a deprived upbringing…they are mostly minorities, so this must be racist….if only we established better educational opportunities for them etc. “The poor will always be with us”. However, it’s also true that you can’t make a poor man rich by making a rich man poor.

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 11:45pmInstead of everyone wasting their time with petitions to secede, why not petition to repeal the 17th Amendment? Wouldn’t that make more sense? The two senators for each state were originally elected by each state’s legislature, not a general election, and therefore kept each states interest in mind. The 17th amendment changed that. Now both the congress and senate are elected by general election of the people, which is not how our government was supposed to be!

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 9:55pmThe C.S.A. was about to outlaw slavery before the civil war ever started. Winners make history. Slavery had nothing to do with it. The south was paying for 80% of the north, and started to put up a fuss about it. The north started taking farms, lands, and eventually raping southern women. John Wilks Booth was one of the most famous actors of his time with a lot to live for. He didn’t kill Lincoln because he was mad about slavery. He killed him because he was a traitor to this country. Today conservatives are all called racist, even though it’s complete B.S., if the liberals get their way we will all be known the same as the C.S.A. a bunch of racist hate mongers. It’s all B.S..

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 10:37pmKeton: So what you’re saying is that taking something from a wealthy person is, as if by magic, not so bad as taking something from a poorer person. I think people on the right wing tend to believe in finite truths…a concept alien to the left..who tend to believe that the ends (if those ends are”good”) justify the means. What is true today is true yesterday is true tomorrow. Thou shall not steal. The big problem with socialism…whether it functionally works or not…( most on this blog would agree that it does not)…is that it is immoral. (Abortion=a functional means of maintaining population…alas, also immoral) Taking something out of that wealthy guy’s pocket and giving it to this poor guy is not what the right wing would call”being charitable”. To be charitable…you are required to take it only out of your pocket…Then you are a charitable person. But if you take it out of that guy’s pocket…you are only a thief.

Honestly the only thing that reminds the community that we are part of a country is when the government regulates our natural resources. During the Clinton admin we had a pulp mill that employed 8000 – 10000 people year round until he shut it down and everyone packed up their bags and moved off the rock. Then to top it all off he declared a state of emergency for the town giving the ship yard 25 million to pick up the unemployed and do some work for the military and the yard owner pocketed the money didn’t hire anyone and sent a report in saying it couldn’t be done due to our weather. That was that and now our main industry is tourism. We sell our natural beauty to the lower 48 every summer and they take a little with them every year leaving the shops boarded up during the winter and looking like a ghost town. That’s the benefit of being a part of the union???

Actually, M12, shame on you and everyone else who voted for Paul or Johnson! It was shown in a chart that if YOUR votes were combined with Romney’s voters, Romney would have won INSTEAD of Obama. That means that businesses who were holding money till after the election would be hiring INSTEAD of laying people off. They won’t hire because of Obama’s job-killing regulations and the cost of Obamacare. That ALSO means that we probably would not have all of these petitions to secede. That ALSO means that we would have Romney’s policies instead of Obama’s NDAA, marxism, etc. And anyone who says there was no difference between the two don’t know what they are talking about. There WAS! So thanks a lot for all of this!

That is a LIE! This Election didn’t even have the same turnout as in ’08 Both parties had less voters at the polls so Don’t give me your BS. Romney IS a Big Government RINO. End of story. Obama would still have won the Electoral College if Libertarians had all voted for Romney, Go back and re-check your “Chart” Then do the math yourself. Both (d)emocrats and (r)epublicans have been slowly working to bring us where we are, No Libertarian Candidate has. All your Hated and dreadful Policies have come from R’s and D’s, Not those who stand for Freedom, Real Freedom not the R. or D. Catchphrase version. If you continue to lie to yourselves and others about the real roots of this countries problems you will never see the truth. Bush signed the first TAARP, The Patriot Act, Obama not only re-signed them but expanded them and added NDAA, Romney was only another rubber stamp for the Elitist’s. Our guy’s didn’t sign anything close to resembling these. Wake-UP. If you can’t see the real problem then you are part of it! The only way the R’s could get re-elected if they vowed to completely ignore social issues and stop tying to legislate morality. But if they did that then they would also just vote for the Libertarian so it will never happen again. You made this bed please enjoy it while it still has the same name, Or do something meaningful to change it, like maybe get out at least the same R’s to vote that did in ’08, but most likely you’ll need more than ’08

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 9:11pmI believe many Americans are fed up with the Liberal agenda and want clean decent normal neighborhoods (without drugs, without gays pushing their ideas, without sex offenders having more rights than you do, without big government telling you what you can and cannot do, without the school system propagating their liberal agenda, without high taxes and without taking our guns away!) Many people are sick of the way the governments stance is. I don’t blame them in wanting a better life style for their kids, better neighborhoods, better schools and safer living standards! I”m so sick of gangs, our schools agenda, our standards being forced gradually lower as time goes! Enough is enough! People need to bind together in certain states and bring back a better life for their families sake! It’s not about discrimination, its about living in a neighborhood where you don’t need to feel threatened by low educational standards, governmental dominance over the peoples will and having the pursuit of happiness! Growth is not up to the government, it’s up to the people and this President is taking us backwards! The Constitution is being slowly taken away as time goes! Let’s restore those rights! I don’t want to live in socialism or communism, nor want to be under the wing of someone who hates colonialism!

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 9:19pmAmen. My thoughts exactly. We are so screwed up! I have a liberal son who chants constantly about the big corporations and their theivery. However, lack of morals is evidenced from the man taking the dole to the man at the top. WE all need to work on the improvement of self and grow into the human people God wanted us to be.

Wake up white folks. They have lived on the dole for 40+ years w/o ever looking for 1 darn job. They voted as block to continue their freeloading. Brainwashed whites voted 40% for national suicide. The ‘death culture’ has won. Now watch the collapse.

Not Obama specifically but, under his watch, the EPA RPP Lead Paint mandate has made it impossible for me to work on houses built before 1978 without investing thousands of dollars i don’t have or face enormous fines for violating the mandate… I’m a home- repair/ painting contractor and older houses were my specialty and the bread and butter of my business… the guidelines were made by a bunch of suits in a backroom somewhere that have no idea about the realities of actually performing labor….. covering entire houses and yards with 6 mil plastic, miles of blue masking tape, holding areas, shower facilities, EPA approved shopvacs (of which there are only 2), neighbors approval, warning-hazard signs… and i have to pack it up & send my guys home if it gets windy (but pay them anyway)… all to repair and paint some rotten siding… my customers can’t absorb these costs!… they just hire the unlicensed/ uninsured guys to do the work who don’t follow the guidelines in the mandate.. It more than triples the cost of every friggin job for me! I’ve already let go of half my staff and most of my competitors have, too. We are getting killed, here.
Look it up…. EPA RPP Mandate… Job Killer thanks to Green-on-the-brains morons.

You do not ask permission to secede.
You determine if it is right and just, and necessary, then you proceed.
If you feel you have to ask permission, you don’t have what it takes.
Do you really think Unca Sam will pat you on the head and say sure, go play house and then come back if it doesn’t work?

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 1:32amAs I see it, the problem on the Petition site is that there are duplicate petitions from a few states. Each has a separate quote of signatures required. That makes NO SENSE! Why didn’t folks from South Carolina and Oklahoma just sign the original petition instead of starting a second? They are defeating their own purposes.
Plus, it takes all those signatures just to get——”A RESPONSE.” And probably just from some WH flunkie. Or maybe even what? Just a big, flat, flowery NO from the O himself…
I’d like to think it is an answer, but am doubting it will do anything. Now, VOTER FRAUD, that’s a whole other ballgame if proven! But, then, what do we get? Another RINO?

What Shall Be Done for a Revenue?
New York Evening Post
March 12, 1861
There are some difficulties attending the collection of the revenue in the seceding states which it will be well to look at attentively.
That either the revenue from duties must be collected in the ports of the rebel states, or the ports must be closed to importations from abroad, is generally admitted. If neither of these things be done, our revenue laws are substantially repealed; the sources which supply our treasury will be dried up; we shall have no money to carry on the government; the nation will become bankrupt before the next crop of corn is ripe.

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 9:45pmThe Republican leaders need to get out of the way of those who are serious Republicans, Conservatives, Tea Partiers and some Libertarians. The leadership considers us “nuts” but we’re the ones they come to for money. They pander to us during the primary and forget about us during the actual campaign.
The Left embraces their freaks setting policies around them. Our leadership is embarrassed of us over on the Right. The Rove’s are the ones who need to change their party. I will not support one more Republican who is a moderate. I did it this time because the stakes were high. But when the stakes are high the leadership caves and ignores us. They lay blame on us.
Shame on you O’Reilly, Rove, Morris, Coulter …. all you folks who believe that life is conditional, happiness is appealing to the masses by contorting the platform, and dismissing those who have held our nose while pulling the lever.
By the way, we need to go back to the old voting booths. This paper ballot leaves too large a margin of error.

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 10:38pmMitt Romney, John McCain, Glenn Beck, all lost this election because a vote for Mitt Romney or John McCain was never a vote for real freedom and even the dumbest liberal sniffed out the underlining oppression spewing from the loser of the 2012 and 2008 elections. Neither candidate showed any interest in individual rights, just states rights and thereby lost a huge number of people who live different lifestyles. A whole bunch of the liberal agenda is not people of the ghetto pushing against the Federal Gov’t but them fending off the States and their conservative police state agenda. If the conservatives would back off at the State level on the issues that affect only individuals rights of choice then they can start to win back the huge number of gay, atheist (as much as I hate to admit them), drug using conservatives I know to exist, (marijuana: do the damn research people and legalize it, quit being SO DAMN STUPID AND HYPOCRITICAL.)

1- The south did not properly seceed. To seceed, it must be put through ALL of the senate. They did not do that.
2- The Articles of Confederation. Abraham Lincoln stated that the Constitution was a more perfect union than the earlier Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, but that the Articles had established the permanence of the Union in a binding contract. He called any secession “legally void”.
3- The definition of democracy itself. To be in a democracy, you must work together. The south refused to give an inch, thus they left. That was not democracy, it was just giving up on a system because you refuse to compromise.

My parents have to file bankruptcy because of Obummer’s policies on coal, and the saddest thing: we’re not the only ones. Our whole town is based on coal, and Obummer took it away from us. :(

Posted on November 13, 2012 at 10:33amWe all know that these petitions will not come to fruitition. It really is just a form of protest and I am glad for it. I wish Romney would fight back at some of this obvious voter fraud…this Administration has a stink about it and I am praying that all the corruption will be exposed. We, the people, need to find ways to tell this foul smelling Administration that we won’t just grin and bear it.
