White House website deluged with secession petitions from 20 states by David Martosko

The Daily Caller




How would Old Glory look with 30 stars instead of 50? As far-fetched as it may sound, the White House might soon be forced by its own rules to examine the question.

On Nov.7, the day after President Barack Obama was re-elected, the White House’s website received a petition asking the administration to allow Louisiana to secede.


If 25,000 people sign the petition by Dec. 7, it will “require a response” from the Obama administration, according to published rules of the White House’s online “We the People” program. (RELATED: Website petition to Obama: Please create “Do Not Kill” list)


The Louisiana petition has collected more than 12,300 signatures in four days. A separate effort from Texas has 15,400 supporters.

Similar petitions from 18 other states began arriving Nov. 9, bringing the total — for the moment — to 20.

The White House website publicly displays petitions that have attracted at least 150 signers. (RELATED: Obama petition initiative bashed as unethical campaigning with taxpayer resources)


“Michael E” from the New Orleans suburb of Slidell penned the initial proposal — the website doesn’t provide last names — in which he asked the Obama administration to “[p]eacefully grant the State of Louisiana to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.”

His entire petition consisted of excerpts from the Declaration of Independence.
“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,” one portion read, “that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government.”
“Micah H” from Arlington, Texas submitted the petition on behalf of the Lone Star State.
“The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending,” he wrote.
Texas, he added, “maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world,” making it “practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union.”

What began as a pair of parallel stunts appears to have gathered steam. Other than Louisiana and Texas, states with secession-related petitions pending on the White House website now include Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Three states – Georgia, Missouri and South Carolina are each represented by two competing petitions.

Will this give the Muslim Marxist Lying Turd Traitor in Chief ammo to order his jackbooted thugs wide freedom to exercise the detainment clause of the NDAA?

It could.

 

The Government has been buying millions upon millions of hollow point rounds for a reason.

 

The count is up to 1.4 billion rounds of .40 cal. hollow point ammo. Mostly for the Dept. of Homeland Insecurity and TSA.

 

Trying to log on to the site and they seem to have lost my login.

 

Oh my.

Someone is sending secession petitions to the White House website.....

The sky is falling the sky is falling

In related news.

The fringe far right just cannot deal with losing the election.

 

I have no problem dealing with it because it dawned on me smart people are rare.

 

It is kind of disheartening that we have so many stupid, lazy people that they would vote for a second round of obama's incompetence.

Well---------when you think about it, if we pealed off Washington Oregon and Calif on the west, and everything north and east of NJ, we would have a pretty good country here.

 

The fringe left have been turned into zombies who are too mindless to realize that they are being sold a pig in a poke by the marxist muslim turd occupying the oval office.

 

I don't care what he done - he still the only presodent we got.

 

Ah clearly this is an example of the educational abyss of the far right.

We have yet to elect either a Marxist or a Muslim to the Oval Office.

Perhaps Nixon was a turd- we could argue that one.

 

The above is solid proof of the leftists being mindless zombies.

Better to have no president than that muslim marxist lying turd occupying the oval office now.

Why shouldn't we be upset? You bastards destroyed the country by handing it over to the demographics LEAST capable of protecting the vision of the foun ding fathers.

Hispanics, blacks and many women are not interested in America as a laissez faire capitalist state. They favor statist intervention in the economy that will destroy us.

America was meant to be a place where businessmen should exist without excessive government intervention in every decision made and be protected from the grasping claws of a greedy socialist population!

 

Why is it that right-wing racist southerners seem to think secession is the answer to all their problems? How would you divide up a modern American military? How would you ensure no tariff or trade barriers would spring up? How would you ensure your citizens could work or learn or even travel in the USA? And most importantly of all, what makes you think the ringleaders wouldn't be arrested and executed for treason if secession was actually attempted?

 

Let the leftists have the snow/rust belt states.

All capitalist entrepreneurs move down south, then let the jobless leftists and the left's welfare constituents pay for their welfare state themselves.

 

I don’t know if this is; sad, scary, or distributing. But the truth of the issue is that this very well could happen again. When, not if, but when things start to get bad enough this will happen. If Obama and/or the dems raise taxes, you will see people storming the White House in massive amount of people. 50K, 60K, 100K etc etc.

 

New York has a secession petition, when did New York become a racist southern state?

As to the military, we will take them, you lefties don't like or want them. When the founding fathers seceded from England it was not easy, but their vision was sound and their resolve strong. Its too bad that left wing america does not understand what this nation is all about.

 

Hispanic culture is marxist. It is only a matter of time.

 

Real america is fed up with the marxist collectivist crap being spounted from obama and his socialist minions. Americans will take a lot, but we are close to the boiling point.

 

Hispanic culture is marxist. Che Guevara is their cultural icon. It is only a matter of time. If Conservatives don't want to fall into state run society they'll have no choice but to secede. Marxism has now taken over. Its only a matter of time before capitalism is dismantled.
