All it takes is one.

When that happens, they will drop down like dominos.

I'm surprised Alaska or Texas isn't the first to go. They have been trying to do this for a long time.

Don't use the word "revolution" when all it will be is just a march.

Revolution begins when citizens start 'fighting back' against politicians and soldiers.
That is far from now since America does not have brave men and women anymore. And if they do..... Where have they been? They were suppose to bring down the Bush administration.

Where are the brave patriots? I see none.
Have fun at your rally.

Soon, in Texas they will speak Texan.
In Oklahoma - Oklahoman.
In Massachusetts - Massachusettsian.
In California - Californian.
In Arizona - Arizonian.
In Georgia - Georgian.
In Alabama - Alabaman...

It is called: Balkanization.

I saw it as just redneck small states that don't like seeing a black man run the country.

It's like the whole slavery thing over again.

Look who lost the first civil war.

The whole world loves Obama and hates Bush.

Seriously... who do you think will win this one?

If it goes to war, the insurgency will be so squashed they wont know what hit them.

Very silly maneuver in my opinion.

I wonder why people always assume that a revolution has to be violent to be effective? Revolutions can be peacefull and effective and have a strong impact on the culture.

There isn't anything 'Revolutionary' about this at all. It's more reactionary. Mostly because of the massive financial stresses the federal government has caused on the States, they are putting the Fed on-notice that they, the States, are the bodies empowered by the Constitution --- not the Federal Government. And those powers granted by the States and the People to the Federal Government are specifically limited to those powers.

Esentially the Feds are being told to get out of States' business and to remember who the boss really is: The People and The States. Most people have no idea how much of States' budgets are mandated to be spent on Federal programs. In this current fiscal nightmare the States are fed-up. In a nutshell, this is not about secession, not about revolution and entirely about limiting Federal powers to those granted by The Constitution --- and NO more.

I believe Texas and California did or are planning to.

CA and it's $42B debt can leave the union anytime. Hell - let them join up with mexico. The state is mostly mexican anyway.

Prime example of ...why Americans are frowned upon now. No guts. All pessimists. We need less people with this kind of thinking. Only time will tell..

I'll move.

I'll ride my bike to New Hampshire to be a part of it. If there intentions are as serious as they're making it out to be, I would love to give a helping hand with whatever I can.
