If Montana successfully breaks ties with the US , I will be moving to Montana , unless of course it looks like my state my follow suit.
Considering that my state is Texas, that seems a relatively strong possibility. If this works the way it should , before its over the USA could potentially be left with Washington DC, Which would be a small toothless entity

I think its just a PR temper tantrum like when a teenager says to the parent I'm running away or I'm leaving. The only problem is when either side is really serious about it like for instance the parent(US) threatens to ground teenager or teenager(state)actually means on leaving. Then the SHTF. IMHO I just think it's a PR temper tantrum

Before the War of Northern Aggression Slavery was in the toilet anyway. It was costing twice as much to keep one slave than to keep a horse. The economics of slavery was already a factor in the south. Whats more of the 8 original states that succeeded, the reason given was NOT slavery but the over extension of the DC government on the rights of states to govern themselves. Sounds A LOT like whats happening today!!! When this new administtration and the likes of Pelosi and Reid start in on the legislation they havein their back pockets, don't be surprised that Montana is not alone!!!
MOVIN' TO MONTANA SOON..GONNA BE A DENTILFLOSS TYCOON!!!
JUST ME AND MA' PIGMY PONY!!!

Very interesting, any updates on this?
I think if any states in the union deserve their sovereignty back it's Hawaii (and Alaska).
On November 23, 1993, President Clinton signed United States Public Law 103-150, which not only acknowledged the illegal actions committed by the United States in the overthrow of the legitimate government of Hawaii, but also that the Hawaiian people never surrendered their sovereignty. The latter is the most important part of United States Public Law 103-150 for it makes it quite clear that the Hawaiian people never legally ceased to be a sovereign separate independent nation. There is no argument that can change that fact. United States Public Law 103-150, despite its polite language, is an official admission that the government of the United States illegally occupies the territory of the Hawaiian people. In 1999, the United Nations confirmed that the plebiscite vote that led to Hawaii's statehood was in violation of article 73 of the United Nations' charter. The Hawaii statehood vote, under treaty then in effect, was illegal and non-binding. (The same is true of the Alaska plebiscite). In a world where nations are as governed by laws as are men, Hawaii is not and has never legally been a part of the United States. Hawaii was stolen from the Hawaiian people, and they want it back.
Zindo - that Zappa song was the first thing that popped into my head when I read this, haha. Good stuff!

It may sound crazy but I would be 100% behind a mass secession by the south. I mentioned it yesterday in another thread, and if it could ever happen I would be the first one to sign up for it.

Give us back everything south of Richmond VA and the libs and the blue states can do whatever the hell they want with the rest. There is obviously a serious conflict in this country between two distinctly different lifestyles and belief systems and it isnt going to go away any time soon.

Eventually someone is going to get backed into a corner and before you know it there will be serious violence. And no this isnt in any way about race, it is about personal rights and sustaining a way of life that will surely wither away or die under this new regime.

No more oppressive federal government, no more Draconian laws, no more taking orders from the crooks and puppets in Washington DC. The blue state people can finally get rid of the guns, no more "ignorant red states" dragging them down in their supreme quest for socialism and neo communism.


All a dream I know, but right now thats about all anyone has to cling to. If Texas ever gets up the courage to make the move consider me a Texan, Im not so sure about Montana though...it's a little nipply in the winter time for my taste

Hmm. If I sell my house in NY, will you Southerners/Montanians take my liberal money? I have been looking for an excuse to get back out of this state?

Btw, what is the proper term for people from Montana? I just made that word up, or did I?
