Citizens From 40 States Threaten
Secession
On the heels of
President Barack Obama's re-election, residents representing at least 40 states
have filed petitions to secede from the union.
While occasional petitions like this are not uncommon, the nation is so
divided that citizens are exercising their options now at a rapid rate. For whatever reason they simply don’t want
the Golden Goose!

As I have previously indicated, if Obama
is reelected by whatever means, the nation will grow more chaotic. Rumors
of Martial law will become a reality and riots may become common
place. It may eventually resemble a
civil war. If you remember your history,
threats of session is what led to the last civil war during the Lincoln administration.
With a minimum of 25000 petitions
needed according to the Whitehouse website, the State of Texas and at least 10 other states have
already exceeded 100,000 petitions, requiring a response from the Whitehouse. So far the Citizens of 40 States have filed more
than 700,000 petitions against the U.S. Federal Government threatening Secession.
The original Louisiana petition,
which has served as a pattern for many of the new states coming on board, reads
as follows: “We petition the Obama
administration to: Peacefully grant the State of (Louisiana) to withdraw from
the United States of America and create its own NEW government. As the Founding Fathers of the United States
of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776: ‘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. Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, 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.’”
Only requiring a first name and a last
initial, the petitions have been submitted through the White House's We the People website, which claims to provide "all Americans a way to engage their
government on the issues that matter to them."
Let me be clear, these petitions are
not put forth by the States themselves, but they are put forth by the residents
of the many states. After all, the
people are the ones who select their representatives and if the people voice
their disapproval of what is taking place at the federal level enough in their
own state, this just may gain traction.
Daniel Miller, president of the Texas Nationalist
Movement, has battled for Texas independence for 16 years and says
this most recent round of petitions is a logical process of a gradual national
decline. “We're seeing the realization
that the American Union is terminally broken, that the fiscal situation is a
'Titanic moment' -- that the election, regardless of who won the presidency,
the fiscal calamity is sort of like electing a new captain when the Titanic has already hit the iceberg
and the deck chairs are sliding off into the north Atlantic,"
Miller explains.
At the most recent count, more than
700,000 petitions from 40 states and growing as each second passes, has been
filed, astoundingly more than at any other time in history including prior to
the U.S. Civil War.
The White House promises to provide a
response (the question is…what kind of response) if a petition receives 25,000
signatures within 30 days. At press
time, the Texas petition has more
than passed the threshold with more than 105,000 signatures. Louisiana has reached the
goal with more than 34,000, as have petitions from Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Not far behind are
those from South Carolina, Arkansas,
Kentucky, Mississippi -- and non-Southern
states such as Colorado, Arizona, Indiana, Michigan, New York, and New Jersey.
Miller sees a growing resurgence of
states reclaiming their individual identities and sovereignty. "This reaction of independence is
something that's been festering under the surface for quite some time,"
he asserts. "It just took this
particular realization that the Union was
broken for people to go out there and finally publicly express it and rally
around it and organize to achieve it."
Bear in mind that according to the U.S.
Congress rule of thumb, if one citizen contacts his/her representative or files
a petition of grievance or redress, it represents 1000 citizens who feel the
same but just aren’t yet motivated to act.
According to that rule, the more than 700,000 citizen petitions already
filed represent more than 700,000.000 people --- far exceeding the population
of the entire country… go figure!
Another petition on the website calls for a recount of the presidential election votes, saying
that it "has become blatantly obvious that voter
fraud was committed."
If any of the hundreds of thousands
of people petitioning the White House in the blossoming battle over secession
get their way, somebody is
going to leave the union, either voluntarily … or involuntarily.
Ever since WorldNetDaily
first reported that residents in the state of Louisiana had filed an online petition with the White
House to secede from the U.S. ,
residents in at least 39 additional states
have filed similar requests with the White House to peaceably break from the
union.
Since then, residents from the
following states have added their own secession petitions: New Hampshire,
Illinois, Idaho, Rhode Island, Virginia, Wisconsin, Alaska, Utah, Wyoming,
California, Delaware, Nevada, Kansas, Ohio, South Dakota, West Virginia,
Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri,
Tennessee, Michigan, New York, Colorado, Oregon, New Jersey, North Dakota,
Montana, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, Florida, North Carolina, Alabama and
Texas, so far 40 in all.
The White House website explains that
once a petition reaches 25,000 signatures, it will be placed on a queue for
response from the administration. The
website also maintains a page for previous
petitions that have received a White House response. Most of the petitions have
easily exceeded the required threshold.
As of the writing of this
article, the Texas petition has more than 106,000 signatures, more than four times the amount required to be reviewed by the White
House. According to the White House
petition site, once the petition reaches 25,000 signatures within 30 days “White
House staff will review it, ensure it’s sent to the appropriate policy experts,
and issue an official response.”
THE BOTTOM LINE: I admit, I am wary of petitioning the
federal government over any of this. However,
I think the number of petitions and the people signing is only an indication
that the “union” is no longer united. This,
along with the recent election, demonstrates that we are instead a nation
divided.
It was at another period in our history
where states sought to peacefully withdraw from the Union for a completely
different reason, but only to be invaded
by that very Union. With stakes
as high as they are now, I am not very optimistic that the current state of
things in America
will lead to a peaceful agreement between the federal government and the
states. Obama, for example, has sued the State of Arizona
because Arizona
chose to enforce a Federal law that Obama refused to enforce. The Federal Government is bound by Constitutional
law to protect this nation from’ a foreign invasion but of course Obama ignores
the Constitution completely these days, especially when it is these foreign
invaders that are illegally voting for him.
Those of you that remember when we were
still a Representative Constitutional Republic, will also know that it all came
to an end in 1913 with the passage of the illegal Income Tax (IRS) and the 17th
amendment ending State Sovereignty and State Representation. This not only made the States dependant on
the Federal Government financially, but more importantly it took away the
Senatorial Representation and power from the States and put it in the hands of
the Central Government, the very thing the Framers wanted to avoid. The people still have so-called representation
through the House of Representatives but the States have nothing. Also in 1913 the Federal Reserve act was
passed which led to the Great Depression of the 1930’s as well as the
depression of 2008, this time effectively putting us on a road to the end of
Capitalism. It took 99 years to
completely’ destroy the Republic and change it into a true democracy which
historically can do nothing but become a socialist dictatorship. The experiment of a Republic worked as long
as it remained a Republic.
Now we are headed saucer over teacup
without restraint toward a Communist
Marxist Socialist
State . And the only people who want it, are those
that are either brainwashed and have completely become incapable of independent
thought (at least 9%), as well as those that have, in some way, already become
dependant on the Federal Government, (the 47% that Romney mentioned). They think that they have just reelected the
Golden Goose!
What happens when the Golden Goose runs
out of money to by the ink to print the phony money is problematic… Especially in a population that
has stopped thinking!
Last
minute update:
During the writing of this article the numbers have
grown significantly, all 50 states now have petitions going, many of them have
already succeeded in making their goal, topping the 25,000 necessary signatures,
which is supposed to trigger an official response from the White House.
While some commentators have claimed that is was
only a 100,000 people or so that were pushing this, now the figures are pushing
upwards of 1 million and that is just in the last day or two. The petitions are now gaining international
attention.
