Tbh i hadent thought about that but the pieces fit in my eyes. But i only see the corruption come out from the onset of the FED.
JFK knew it and look what he got for his trouble.
Kyra Root, an 8 year old with Osteosarcoma, is dying. She has a Bucket List. On that list is "Meet the President".

So you're from Texas and you hate Obama, correct? And you back this secession proposal? So let me ask you this, did you really feel that the US was much better off during the 8 years Bush was in office? Being a moderate I love looking at both sides freak out whenever a democrat or republican takes office... I just don't understand how you Texas folks can support Bush and the things he did, but throw a temper-tantrum about Obama...
I sure don't want them here weakening the United States with their self-entitled ideologies and rhetoric.

All this crying people are doing is just pathetic now. The election is over Romney lost and Obama is coming for your Jesus and all your guns. This is the highest level of stupidity I have ever witnessed. But what are supposed to expect from state that elects Rick Perry as their governor?
Way to stereotype. Oh, to you and everyone else trying to make it out like only those stupid rednecks from Texas would be into this, you might want to check into it first.
petitions.whitehouse.gov...
More than half the states in the U.S. have a petition going, Texas just has the most signatures.
Oh and we're up to 57,903 signatures.edit on 13-11-2012 by OpenMindCuriousMind because: Fixed link.

People that have never been to a Major city in Texas always have the same lame stereotypical opinions about Texas. So much for denying ignorance, but ok.
Btw, the news station in my town did report on the petition of 22 states last night.
At the end of the report, the chick said its "not likely" to happen but she can't say it'll "never" happen.
Something that im noticing in all of these secession threads are that some people here think its solely about Obama winning. Yet the reasons have been stated over and over again and no one has stepped up to refute those reasons, they're just picking the easy argument. So what if some people don't like Obama; the petitions that are up have a handful of other valid points and yet everyone that is "against" it seem to just ignore "that stuff". They want to cuddle up with the NDAA, Sopa, FEMA, And all the # that violates the constitution. But oh no, let's not talk about that, let's just focus on the point that people are mad Obama got reelected. Yeah that's the only arguing point they keep using and it's Weak! It's like they don't read at all. It's like they forget about all the corruption that's discussed here on a daily basis. Instead of taking an "idea" and adding to it or suggesting something progressive (w/o the sarcasm), they just outright deny any possibility of anything being able to work and tout off their opinions while forgetting they are discontent with the state of affairs in the first place, but it's ok to forget about all that if it means making a point against your fellow American that realizes the gov needs to put back in its proper place.
But hey, like I said before, let's just do nothing, let's just try nothing, let's not try to grow from a idea. Let's just keep letting the gov do whatever it is they please in little bits and pieces like they always have. Let's just be good little sheeple and act like its all ok.
Baaaaaahhhh, yum!

The phrase “Everything is BIGGER in Texas” is true because you have to have gigantic….uhmm……courage to even attempt something like this. I’m a proud Texan (born and raised) and I think this would be a fantastic idea given the corruption in DC.
There is no hope for this federal government. It’s time people took the power back!! If Texas pulls this off expect many other states to follow.
They have been upholding laws in the last years that have allowed simple homeowners homes to be just snatched away because they can hand you land to anyone who pays more tax on your property.
I would hope a new US of Something would also make a no taxation law on any home paid for after so many years so the old can retire and not have their home stolen for taxes after they are frail and have not enough income to pay the tax as has happened over and over. Some seniors have lost their homes to back tax of only hundreds of dollars but they could not pay.
