After Obama Victory, A Petition For States To Secede On The White House Website
At 25,000 signatures, the White House says it will respond. Potheads and UFO truthers displaced by secessionists.
More than a dozen petitions sprung up on the White House petitions website “We The People” this weekend asking for various states to be allowed to secede from the United States after President Barack Obama won reelection.
The Texas petition was the first, and most detailed, listing complaints such as the Transportation Security Administration and the National Defense Authorization Act, which petitioners called “blatant abuses” of their rights.
According to the White House website, if any petition garners 25,000 signatories, the administration will respond. Previous petitions have asked the U.S. government to acknowledge the existence of extraterrestrials and to reveal the White House beer recipe, along with countless others dealing with the legalization of marijuana.

scottwillettm 6 months agoWhy shouldn’t we let Texas and the rest of the former CSA form their own union? I am a gay atheist from Maryland and I don’t need TX or the rest of the deep south controlling the national dialogue on social issues or religion. Let em go, we’ll hardly ever miss ‘em, I promise!

WhatTheHolyHeck 6 months agoFine with us. Most of you red states take more in federal funds than you give back in taxes. Good riddance and good luck surviving on your existing industries.

KeithBitchards 6 months agoSuch intolerant, contemptuous replies! One could almost accuse you people of, dare I say it, bigotry. If any of you had actually done your research, you’d know that, while most states filing petitions ARE in the south, New York and New Jersey are also of the opinion that their rights are facing infringement. Correct me if I’m wrong, but last time I checked, they fought for the Union. So please, just keep your prepossessed thoughts to yourselves.

It is not individual states wanting to secede, it is individual people who are trying to secede their states. Ignorant rednecks don’t just live in the South…

Whereas your own reply contains no contempt at all! It’s practically bursting with understanding and love.

Laughing at those who hate black people so much that they want to secede when one gets reelected President of the United States? That is not really bullying.

alyssar4 6 months agoThere are 13 million registered voters in the state of Texas. If 25,000 of them sign this petition, it represents the values of a mere 0.192% of Texas voters. However, if the signatures are not limited to registered voters, but people of voting age, the percentage drops to 0.13%. There might be some crazies out there, but they are far, far outnumbered by those who see this secession business as utter bullshit.
