Damn...people dont get the person they want elected them bitches will just say fuk the US. Never in my life have I seen such bullshit.

Residents in more than 30 states have filed secession petitions with the "We the People" program on the White House website.

Petitions to strip citizenship of individuals signing onto petitions to secede and exile them have also been submitted.

A threshold of 25,000 signatures must be met within 30 days for petitions to be reviewed. The Obama administration explains, "If a petition meets the signature threshold, it will be reviewed by the Administration and we will issue a response."

Micah H. (no last name provided) of Arlington, Texas filed a petition that had nearly 60,000 signatures as of Tuesday morning. It reads:

The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government's neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it's citizens' standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.

Unfortunately for Micah H. and Peter Morrison -- a Texas GOP official who called for an "amicable divorce" from the United States last week -- secession is not in the cards for the Lone Star State.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) sought to distance himself from the petition on Monday. The Dallas Morning News reported that the Republican governor's press secretary wrote in an email, "Gov. Perry believes in the greatness of our Union and nothing should be done to change it. But he also shares the frustrations many Americans have with our federal government."

Here's a list of states where residents have filed secession petitions in recent days: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.

I don't see how this is in the interest of big corporations who rely on the military power of the US to dominate the world. Not to mention the defense contractors.

So it is not going to happen any time soon.

That said, the US will fall apart eventually, but it will take a few decades at least

The following is a good toy scenario for how it could happen:

The Archdruid Report: How It Could Happen, Part One: Hubris
The Archdruid Report: How It Could Happen, Part Two: Nemesis
The Archdruid Report: How It Could Happen, Part Three: To The Brink
The Archdruid Report: How It Could Happen, Part Four: Crossing the Line
The Archdruid Report: How It Could Happen, Part Five: Dissolution

90% chance it wont happen, but they really need to stop taking away all of our freedoms, thats one of the the main reasons they started these petitions....If I had the choice I would move out of California and move to Arizona or Texas where they have more gun rights.
You cant even open carry in texas...
