And don't forget the Declaration of Independence. We have the right:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, 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 to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
THOMAS JEFFERSON, Declaration of Independence
@Sadcat ... read it ... only 25,000 per state is required for a response from Obama. Texas has over 94,000 now. Going up about 1,000 per hour. Still weeks to go before the deadline.

@Jay .. surely you are joking? Texas alone has the GDP of Russia .. and we have most of the energy. Southern states have the crops. It is no problem.
To all respondents. Now that Obama had your vote do you actually think he cares about you? Seen him on TV lately? No? What a surprise. He fooled a lot of people.

Yes I did. Think I was no. 83,344 on the Texas petition.
"Neither the Texas Constitution, nor the Constitution of the united States, explicitly or implicitly disallows the secession of Texas (or any other "free and independent State") from the United States. Joining the "Union" was ever and always voluntary, rendering voluntary withdrawal an equally lawful and viable option (regardless of what any self-appointed academic, media, or government "experts"—including Abraham Lincoln himself—may have ever said)."

On account that persons don't appear to recognize that you simply can not put the genie again in the bottle. Guns are already out there. Banning the sale of a special kind doesn't suggest they will disappear, or that mentally in poor health folks won't find one more technique to commit mass homicide. Should we ban suits in case any individual wishes to a fireplace?

Why would you rather cut and run. Then fight the enemy. We have been attacked.
We need to form and stand together to deal with this curse known as Obama. And
you pontificate cutting and running. BS. I didn't lose a body part in Viet Nam to cut
and run over a bullshit election. Why should you.

I wonder how many people realize that this means no Federal money. I'll bet most, if not virtually all, of these folks have never looked into what that amounts to.
Are Texans, who are used to no taxes, ready to be taxes significantly to pay for 100% of the roads. Never mind social programs, the stuff you really need like roads will now because 100% your burden. And consider that entering or leaving the "state" will now require a passport. Some will require Visas, such as those crossing into an out of Texas/the United States.
I understand you don't like Obama, but becoming a sovereign nation is a major thing and very complicated.
Also interesting that the Texas governor, who is definitely not an Obama-supporter or a big-state-supporter, is totally against this. Know why? Because he recognizes that it's a major thing and not at all practical or in the best interest of Texas.
That said, if Texans (and these other states) are prepared for the reality of become sovereign, then go for it.

Signatures don't mean anything. You have to be willing to shoot the federal troops.
