Fifteen US States File Petition To Secede From The United States by Awoofawo(m): 5:10am On Nov 12, 2012


Lone Star Nation: Today, the Texas capitol flies both the American and Texas flags, but after independence the Lone Star flag would fly on its own.

As a result of Tuesday's election, Americans in 15 states have filed petitions to secede from the United States, Regina Conley reported at Red Alert Politics on Saturday.

So far, she says, residents in Louisiana, Texas, Kentucky, Colorado, New Jersey and ten other states, have filed petitions at the White House petition site requesting secession. A petition for New York to secede was file by "C R" of Grand Forks, North Dakota on Saturday.

Examiner's Sheila Carroll says those other states include Montana, North Dakota, Indiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Oregon.

On November 7, the day after the election, "Michael E" from Slidell, Louisiana, filed a petition at the White House "We the People" site, requesting that Louisiana be allowed to secede.

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation," the petition reads, quoting the Declaration of Independence.

As of this writing, the petition has 8.162 signatures and needs 16,838 to reach a goal of 25,000.

On Friday, a Texas resident created a petition to secede in order to protect the standard of living Texans now enjoy.

"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 its 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," the petition reads.

As of this writing, that petition had 5,289 signatures.

The Oregon petition, started Saturday by "Kristopher W" of Tillamook, Oregon, wants the state to remain an ally of the United States and possibly vote to rejoin the Union once "the citizens of Oregon felt the Federal Government was no longer imposing" what it calls a tyrannical government that cares nothing about the future of Oregon's children."

Petitions on the White House site have 30 days to reach a threshold of 25,000 signatures.

"While these petitions serve more to make a point than to present a serious proposition, they are a physical symbol of the deep resentment for the direction in which the United States is moving under the Obama administration," Conley added.

the news was not reported by aljazeer, it was actually all over US media, go google it. You will be suprise at the level of intrigue going on inside United state... And for your information no country is indisposable, unbreakable.... It is the citizens of a country that would invariable decide the fate of their country! If americans wake today and say they want out, nothing Obama, cia, fib, can't do over it ok?!

The source itself isn't reliable.
Its inconceivable and the story is false!
You people shouldn't let someone play on our intelligence.
So those state would form a different country and become irrelevant? Or the federal government would allow it?
If america splits, they lose their advantage as the super power and the pay back they would get from their enemies would be disastrous.
I consider this piece false, it would even be treasonable for the governors to utter that abomination.
The highest they can do is to wait four more years and try harder.

constitution forbids it, but nothing wrong with petitioning against it.. the very reason the country exists today is because fundamentalists took up arms against government.. i think thats one of the major reasons there is no gun control..

I love this thread....it's a clear indication of some Nairalanders who don't know how to read.

FYI, some citizens in some states have filed petitions. The states have not and certainly will not.


There are nutcases everywhere. The US is in ZERO danger of splitting.

Only Examiner, MilitaryTimes, DigitalJournal and WickedFiles are carrying the news online. That's hardly what I call "credible". The US has been through a lot together to secede. I'm sure it's just disgruntled white republicans. The 1% Romney was referring to. Smh!
Re: Fifteen US States File Petition To Secede From The United States by excondido(m): 7:21am On Nov 12, 2012
when do we start taking the views of some insignificant portion of a population to predict the future of a country? Or is it because its america that we want to give credence to some sore losers who will continue whinging as long as obvious changes to demographics becomes glaring?

amid the presidential election of 2011 people deserted their homes in the north before the complete vote collation just because there is a shift to what they are told and presume (northern dominance), and the post election was wide spread arson and massacre to reckless abandon to the extent that corpers were targetted. Does that make nigeria to divide? talk less of a civilised society were its citizens are spoilt with freedom thereby trying to appear relevant by such chatter.

Just some disgruntled citizens filling request for secession. The state themselves did not file a request for secession.

Nairalanders should learn to read properly before commenting.

The US is too tight and well structured to secede. Those citizens filling those request should just wake up to the reality that Obama would be in the white house for another 4 years before they would have the choice of trying get a republican president.

This is just proper "troll" reporting. There are always people shouting secession at every possible time. It is not knew and nothing will ever come of it. Just looking to create a controversial story and get people arguing.
