    President Obama Mum on Texas Succession Petition; Other state petitions gaining steam

    A petition to "Peacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government" recently got the minimum signatures needed (25,000) by December 9th. The 25,000 signatures were gathered in just THREE DAYS.

    Now that the petition has gathered the needed signatures, it has now "reached the threshold for comment from the White House."

    The next closest state with a similar petition is Louisiana - which still needs 5,011 signatures by December 7th. The rest that I could find still need 15,000-20,000 signatures.

    What rights of theirs are being trounced on?

    Their right to be ignorant to the world and ban gay marriage which isn't an actual right in the first place?

    I'm not too sure.

          Oh my god my wording is fucking awful

          what I meant is that they don't have the right to ban it, not that gay marriage isn't a right

          I'm gonna impale my face into a wall now

              It would just die as soon as it hits the ballots.

                  hahahahaha! Oh goodness, that gave me such a good laugh.

                  So basically they'd like to preserve their quality of life and rights. They see the current state of affairs in the US as a threat to that quality of life and their rights. Consequently they are willing to go the extent of withdrawing from the US.

                  Ok Texas, you go ahead and do that. Have your cake and eat it too. Because that always works.

                  And they're right, we no longer operate under the values of the founding fathers. Because many of them were plantation owners who had slaves, and everyone being equal did not include those slaves. If you're going to bring up a founding fathers argument, you have to be more specific and explain just why such things are applicable in modern times.

                  Most of the people signing those petitions probably haven't the slightest clue of the repercussions that seceding would have. I know I don't.

                        I guess people are scared to view threads under their usernames now.
