Divided States Of America: 20 States Petition To Secede

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Source: PM

To date, citizens of 18 states have petitioned the White House for consideration of a peaceful withdrawal from the United States. That’s right, thousands of Americans have already signed petitions at whitehouse.gov asking President Obama to allow them to peacefully secede from the union.

The states and their updated totals are: Louisiana, 10,296; Texas, 9196; Florida, 2392; Alabama, 2492; North Carolina, 2434; Kentucky, 1934; Mississippi, 1935; Indiana, 1951; North Dakota, 881; Montana, 1538; Colorado, 1805Oregon, 1594; New Jersey, 1492; New York, 1727; South Carolina, 117; Arkansas, 86; Georgia, 131; Missouri, 149.

The ability to create the petitions is something that the Obama administration promised and delivered on because:

“We want to hear from you. If a petition gets enough support, White House staff will review it, ensure it’s sent to the appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response.”

Any petition requires 25,000 signatures for consideration. As you can see, in just a few days, Louisiana is halfway to the necessary total. In order to sign the petition, users simply need to create a whitehouse.gov account and click “sign the petition.”

Before anyone begins to cry treason or some other fear tactic, this is nothing more than an activist tactic (albeit a very dramatic one) attempting to garner government attention for the state of the electorate and our nation.

As whitehouse.gov clearly reminds us:

“The right to petition your government is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. We the People provides a new way to petition the Obama Administration to take action on a range of important issues facing our country.”

No one is threatening to secede or to wage war against the United States of America. It is a petition, plain and simple. But as they say, desperate times call for desperate measures, and clearly some Americans are feeling the need to make a dramatic noise.

While Louisiana currently leads the signature count, Texas is a very close second. The Texas petition reads:

      The country that Ronald Reagan was the puppet president of does not exist any more the percentage of racist white males (overt and covert alike) is much less than heretofore demonstrated; thus the inexorable grip on the reins of power has been wrested away. The ascendance of the Black –Hispanic- Asian- Gay- Young – single Women – Multi racial-union- White liberal coalition has come to the fore and its grip on the power/control mechanisms of political dominance will not subside for generations and generations to come. Welcome to your new incontrovertible reality- Accept your substantiated descent!

      The evangelical, male, white, right wing, war mongering, xenophobic, facet of the country has lost a pivotal power dynamic and that is numbers, regardless of how right you think you are the numbers don’t lie; the much reviled 47% is in actuality 52%
      . The facts are you who hate illegal immigrants committed genocide on the native population in order to take this geographical area. And now have the unmitigated gall to decry others who simply walk across a border. The poetic justice of the universe has asserted itself. The new America is a coalition of spiritual not religious, inclusive, not discriminatory, and open-minded, not dogma entrenched, peace loving not war lovers. We are not only the future we are the present. I stand with those who have reached the heights of academia and excelled financially to debunk the myth of stupid poor, hand out seeking liberals

    • Pateriot

      Do you know what I’m sick of? I’m sick of being called a racist by every Leftist asshole because I think that Obama and the other Leftist Democrats are destroying Liberty and everything that has made this country great!!!!

    • RAINSCRYPT

      the whole secession fraud is a set up for gullible patsies incapable of comprehending the consequences of actual secession and the destruction it would cause. along with that, this RT clip is propagandist race bait.
      all is meant to stir the pot… hah, sending a message to the white house voicing the peoples discontent? more of an admission of idiocy from fools and tools.

    • Fake-it

      Hey Barracuda,
      How many articles did you already make on this subject?
      This is a false flag subject if you want my opinion.

      • Willie Boy

        PhilippinoBob….I think you said it all……and for the rest of the “site” architects, 52% of the registered, voting American public (not as many as those who “could” vote) knows the two-party system is a farce…they go to work for military contractors (directly or indirectly) every stinkin’ day…they also are forced to choose the lesser of two evils and pray for change in painfully slow increments…there is a lot to change for “real” freedom…the kind where your neighbor doesn’t want to pass laws that creep into your bedroom, your life plans or the color of your skin. You flag-wavin’, gun-totin’, slow thinkers don’t want “freedom”…you want “control” over others…just like the fricken Nazis who half of my family died fighting….

      The movement to secede would level the playing field for all the wars conservative US citizens want to wage on 3rd world countries. Can you imagine these RED states, like Alabama or Texas, who support the wars more than the blue states, having to send their own armies across the world to fight. It would be a better “game”. Two 3rd world countries at war. LOL!

      Our government is going Socialst Our government is out of control and heading to the New World Order. We the people has no rights our voices are never heard. Coruption Scandels has left blood on our Administrations hands and we do nothing. Our defenses are being dismantled as we speak. Our military is sent out by our government to police the world with their hands tied behind their backs. Over taxing and over spending has made a huge impact on the working class and the government wants more taxes to be put on the peoples backs.
      Our elections has become Corupt and the people know it is and they are trying to paint a picture of roses that everything is good. Most of us see though the blinders they have tryed to block what is going on. We need less government,less taxes or a flat tax and getting more jobs by useing our own resorces Oil,Gas and Coal. But this is all blocked by the president.
      What he don’t understand that more taxes and more regulations means less money goes to the government for his give away programs like sending money to Lybia and the Muslem Brotherhood. When people cant make a living why work for nothing. Then Obama will be a dictator of nothing. People wake up. I see why all the states want to Secede from the Union.

        Your government has been Bolshevik Jew Commie Marxist for years, just check out the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto and see how many of them already apply to the USA.
