The President won a decisive victory but there are still many disgruntled Americans who are not happy with the path Barack Obama has chosen and they want their home states to secede.
Petitions from more than 30 states have been posted on the White House's 'We The People' website - where individuals can post petitions and voice concerns. If a petition gets more than 25,000 electronic signatures then the White House will respond.
A petition for Pennsylvania reads: "Peacefully grant the State of Pennsylvania to withdraw from the United States of America and create a NEW government." On Tuesday evening there were more than 4,000 signatures.
Texas leads the effort with more than 81,000 signatures. Lousiana also has more than 25,000.
Of course there are petitions filed in response to these. One that has 560 signatures says: "Deport Everyone That Signed A Petition To Withdraw Their State From The United States Of America."
There are unrelated petitions as well. For example, there are 3,866 signatures for a petition calling for the United States to "officially recognize American Sign Language as a community language and a language of instruction in schools."
Another one has 1,237 signatures and asks for "an executive order barring job discrimination based on sexual orientation & gender identity by federal contractors."
According to an article in the Huffington Post the following states also have petitions to secede filed: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
So here's your question: Do you think Pennsylvania should secede from the United States? Tell us in the comments.
21% support Tea Party 42% Neutral 30% oppose just to give some real numbers to it
I would say that those that are putting up secession petitions are searching for validation. People that have mentally ingested the propaganda of fear, suspicion, hate, and conspiracy theories promoted by conservative media (who by the way is laughing all the way to the bank) are having a hard time dealing with the reality outside of that conservative media bubble. As David Frum said, conservative media has been lying to the American people.
The idea that a petition to vent dissatisfaction or frustration with the status quo is un-american or un-patriotic is in itself the same. That petition is our bill of rights. Our country was formed not by a war of agression or occupation against England, we did not seek to take over London, but by sucession from british rule! Our rule book, or Constitution, which "the majority" still fails to read or comprehend, does not prohibit sucession by the states. In fact it recognizes the biggest fear of our founders, that too strong a federal government, and too lazy a people, will lead to the abject loss of Liberty, decent into democracy, and eventual tyranny of the elite, the exact situation we now find ourselves in. There is an obligation to question authority. The path is now one of re education, or elevating the minds of "the majority" to comprehend that our Constitutional Republic, or rule of law, protects everyone and every idea from mob rule. Posts like "get out, un-patriotic, stupid, don't let the door hit you, and give these idiots an island" are lamentable, at best. At worst they are dangerous, and lead to further loss of Liberty for us all as we stray further, with each election, from what our great country once was. In my opinion, it's a disgrace what we as a nation have become.
Your "evidence" of massive voter fraud is itself fraudulent. St. Lucie reported the number of "cards cast," which means the number of ballot pages scanned. THe ballot was two pages long, so actual voter turnout was around 70%, about what it was in many other areas. When you hear something idiotic from now on, even if it agrees with your own prejudices, question the idiots!
Please provide at least one, or if possible more, reputable, vetted source and detailed evidence by state, territory or possession that backs up your claim or like my brothers in Vietnam, at least share the weed, so we can share the laughter at your BS, El Toro Pu Pu, etc...
Things that make you go Uhm... Came across this web site that is logging the voter fraud reported and investigated by news services. Click each link and read the articles if you have the time. http://obamavoterfraud.blogspot.com/2012/11/barack-obama-voter-fraud-2012.html?m=1
Might want to check this as well. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/maker-of-unskewed-polls-creates-obama-voter-fraud-map-see-which-states-he-thinks-shouldve-been-romneys/ The sad thing is that nothing will be done. George Sorros specifically spent money on Attorney General elections at all levels because that position controls law enforcement and the decision whether an investigation is necessary or just do NOTHING. Example: Fed AG's scandals Fast & Furious (3 Americans officers killed & 1000's of Mexicans), the investigation of national security data leaked to reporters, CIA director maybe compromised and under FBI investigation but AG claims not telling Pres. etc... So, Rep know they can't even get an investigation, and if the details were to come out it would probably rip the country apart.
Based on the owner of this web site, you really believe what someone says that was fired from Fox News? Even Grover Norquit and Bill NO'Reilly have concerns about Glenn Becketless? Maybe you can get a job at fanatical/fantasy land at Area 51?
Next time click n read the ARTICLES before commenting. The FaceBook link was only a way to follow his progress not a list of comments. No reply button on post - typical Troll
So typical, can't address the issues so change the subject, then try name calling and disparaging the opponent in public. Where do you learn this stuff? It's really dark. God bless
The original subject of these posts was: "So here's your question: Do you think Pennsylvania should secede from the United States? Tell us in the comments." Then a respondent mentioned race, next there was the fraud remark? So, who is not addressing the issues? Also, please provide the irrefutable evidence in your statement, "The ONLY reason Obama won was because of MAJOR VOTER FRAUD and there is plenty of irefutable(irrefutable) evidence to prove it. The ARTICLES that you referenced did not provided credible, vetted sources just links to more supposition and opinions, not facts. As for the name calling, Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones but, Whips and Chains Excite ME!" If I am a troll, great. I am a mythical creature and you are a figment of my imagination or if I was trolling, I caught a really big one? More to follow.
"Obama did'nt win the election, he stole it by MAJOR VOTER FRAUD and there's plenty of evidence to prove it. Now that's unAmerican!!!!!" and "Robert, The only reason Obama won was because of MAJOR VOTER FRAUD and you and the Democrats know it. There is irefutable evidence to prove it!!!!!!" I learned this stuff by surviving, as a blue baby, at birth while my father was serving in WW II, contracting polio and loosing playmates to it at age 5, going to a one room K-12 school in rural Mississippi, working as a roughneck in the oil fields of WV, volunteering for the service, safe from the lottery, being stationed in Alaska for 2 years and a Vietnam War Vet-Amphibious Ready Group 11/68-5/69, completed college(CBU BSBA'75 ) while working full time and counseling WW II, Korean and Vietnam veterans about educational opportunities, with aid from the GI Bill and a student loan(paid back before graduation), buried 2 cousins due to drugs, being a Veteran Owned Small Business owner and voting in every eligible election and you? Dark is when you cannot see the truth in the light or when your "Eyes are Wide Shut”?
