Petitioning President of the United States

Remove the former slave-holding states from the Union

Joseph Sosa United States

The Southern states have a history of racism, bigotry, and oppression against people of color, different religious beliefs, and sexual orientations. Their values are completely incompatible with the modern, progressive world, and many of us feel as if it would be better for them to leave the Union entirely, so that these United States can become more enlightened and prosperous.

I'm ready to leave!! For over a 150 years, the Northern states have had a history of racism, bigotry and oppression against Southerners of all races because of our religious beliefs, sexual orientation, and our adherence to the Constitution. Our values are completely incompatible with the Northern Cultural Marxists and Socialists and it would be much better for our prosperity to be out of the Union entirely!

..

South Carolina has everything it needs to be a free and independent republic; we're the same size population and land area as the Irish Republic, have plenty of resources, are self sufficient in food production, and untapped petroleum resources.

By the way, if you stick to the "former slave holding states"; Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware will be included.

We only want Maryland, thank you.


..

Yes, this is the kind of hope and change I would love to get behind!

This is what I want, and a good part of the South does too-this will allow the CSA to rise again-just as promised. I hope it happens!!!!

...

I am tired of the politicians running this country, instead of its citizens

Since the original 13 colonies ALL supported slavery in the early years of settlement and up until the Industrial Revolution took hold in the North ... whom exactly are they planning on excising ?



Texas And Other Conservative States Might Leave And Form A New Union After Supreme Court Ruling
Friday, June 26, 2015 10:01

“If Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that.”

– Rick Perry

Here is an excerpt from the original Texas Declaration of Independence:

When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted, and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression.

When the Federal Republican Constitution of their country, which they have sworn to support, no longer has a substantial existence, and the whole nature of their government has been forcibly changed, without their consent, from a restricted federative republic, composed of sovereign states, to a consolidated central military despotism, in which every interest is disregarded but that of the army and the priesthood, both the eternal enemies of civil liberty, the everready minions of power, and the usual instruments of tyrants.

When, long after the spirit of the constitution has departed, moderation is at length so far lost by those in power, that even the semblance of freedom is removed, and the forms themselves of the constitution discontinued, and so far from their petitions and remonstrances being regarded, the agents who bear them are thrown into dungeons, and mercenary armies sent forth to force a new government upon them at the point of the bayonet.

When, in consequence of such acts of malfeasance and abdication on the part of the government, anarchy prevails, and civil society is dissolved into its original elements. In such a crisis, the first law of nature, the right of self-preservation, the inherent and inalienable rights of the people to appeal to first principles, and take their political affairs into their own hands in extreme cases, enjoins it as a right towards themselves, and a sacred obligation to their posterity, to abolish such government, and create another in its stead, calculated to rescue them from impending dangers, and to secure their future welfare and happiness.

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down bans on same-sex marriage in a historic 5-4 ruling. The justices ruled that states cannot deny gay men and lesbians the same marriage rights enjoyed for thousands of years by opposite-sex couples.

Speaking with reporters right after a tea party rally in Austin, Gov. Rick Perry stated Texas can leave the union if it wants to.

“Texas is a unique place. When we came into the union in 1845, one of the issues was that we would be able to leave if we decided to do that,” Perry said. “My hope is that America and Washington in particular pays attention. We’ve got a great union. There’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, who knows what may come of that.”

Talk of secession is in the air. The White House this week verified that residents in all fifty states had submitted petitions asking to depart the union. Will the last one remaining please turn out the lights?

Residents in 7 states, all in the former Confederacy, submitted more than 30,000 signatures each – enough that some hapless bureaucrat or intern will now have to take a look at their petitions.

The news comes 150 years after the Civil War, and just in time for the Supreme Court Going Gay

It’s only a few years since Texas governor Rick Perry hoisted a rhetorical secessionist flag in response to Obamacare.

In the last few years, anti-federal “10th Amendment” resolutions, emphasizing the primacy of states’ rights versus those of the union, have passed the legislatures of 12 states in the South and West. In 5 states, the governors signed them, too. (The 10th Amendment to the Constitution says states’ rights come before those of the federal government. The last time anyone in Washington actually paid attention to it, the ink was still wet.)

Maybe it’s time to take another look.
